ABSTRACT:
An earthquake protective structure (10) that consists of a first side section (12), a second side section (14), an upper section (16) that is attached to the upper ends (12A,14A) of the two side sections and a base plate (18) that attaches to the lower ends (12B,14B) of the two side sections. The structure (10) is designed to be incorporated into a door jam (60), various sizes of building portals (66) and within the confines of hallways or passageways (72). The structure (10) is sized to allow one or more persons to stand under the structure (10) during a seismic event. Thus, the person(s) under the structure (10) are protected from falling debris resulting from the seismic event.
