ABSTRACT:
A range guard apparatus for preventing hot food splashes from injuring persons, particularly young children, in the vicinity thereof. The apparatus comprises a transverse front wall member and first and second side wall members attached on opposite ends of the front member respectively. In use, the apparatus is attached proximal to the front edge of a range or stove top with each sidewall member extending rearwardly and providing gripping surfaces engageable with confronting side surfaces of the range or stove top to which the apparatus is thusly attached. The front wall extends above the flat stove or range top surface a sufficient distance to deflect hot foods particles emitted during cooking from being projected outwardly beyond the front plane of the stove or range where if undeflected such splattering could cause burns or other injuries to persons in the vicinity of the cooking appliance. In an alternatively preferred embodiment, the side wall members are hinged to the front wall member and are foldable relative thereto to render the apparatus more compact when not in use and during storage.
