ABSTRACT:
A protective shield assembly and method for mechanically fastening a protective shield to a frame includes a shield, a frame, a mechanical fastener, and an attachment mechanism. The frame includes a channel defined by a front wall, a rear wall, and bottom. The mechanical fastener is effected by a plurality of serrations which extend partially across the channel from one or both of the front and rear wall. The serrations allow the shield to be inserted into the channel and mechanically connect to the surface of the inserted shield in order to prevent extraction of the shield from the channel. The mechanical connection of the serrations to the surface of the shield is enhanced by crimping a wall of the channel in order to crimp the serrations into the surface of the shield and to create dimples in the frame which penetrate the surface of the shield farther than the serrations.
