A low cost, reusable, easily installed and removed, locking security system and method for protecting the glass in windows and doors. The bottom panel of the preferred embodiment is installed from the outside of the building against the bottom part of a glass window or door with at least one locking-pin suction cup. The top panel or panels are then rotated upwardly away from the bottom panel and secured successively against the upper part of the glass with cord-release suction cups which are individually pressed into place for best adhesion. Removal of the system is accomplished by unlocking the padlock on each locking-pin suction cup, and raising the bottom panel to reveal release cords attached to suction cups behind the It next adjacent upper panel. A downward force then applied to each of the exposed ends of the release cords, breaks the gripping connection between the associated suction cup and the protected glass. When all suction cups behind a panel are released, it can be raised to expose the rings for releasing suction cups behind the next adjacent panel until the uppermost panel is free to be pulled away from the protected glass. Neither installation or removal requires tools. As Also, installation does not permanently alter the window or door frame, or any part of the building surrounding the frame. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use in protecting windows in commercial buildings from such hazards as storm debris, vandalism, burglary, and unauthorized entry.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A reusable impact-resisting system for the glass in window and door frames to protect it against storm damage, vandalism, and unauthorized entry, said system capable of being installed without the use of tools and without permanent alteration to the frame or any part of the building surrounding the frame, said system comprisinga plurality of rigid panels made of shatter-resistant materials, each of said panels having a front surface for positioning away from a piece of protected glass and an opposed back surface to be positioned facing the piece of protected glass, each of said panels also having opposed edges, one of said opposed edges being a top edge and the other of said opposed edges being a bottom edge, at least one of said opposed edges also being flat for pivotal connection to a flat edge on another one of said panels, all of said panels being connected together in an aligned configuration with adjacent ones of said top and bottom edges being pivotally joined together, said aligned configuration being substantially similar in dimension and configuration to the piece of glass intended for protection;hinging means connected between said top edges and said bottom edges of adjacent ones of said panels configured to provide at least one pair of contiguous pivotally joined panels consisting of an upper panel and a lower panel, said hinging means also configured for allowing adjacent ones of said panels to move approximately 180.degree. relative to one another from a folded storage position wherein each of said panels in each of said pairs are substantially parallel to one another, to an extended, essentially planar, usable configuration;a plurality of suction cups each having a tongue release, a convex front surface, and an opposed concave back surface configured for a tight suction grip on a piece of glass when flattened by forces exerted centrally against said convex front surface, said convex front surfaces of at least two of said suction cups being affixed in spaced-apart positions from one another against said back surface of each of said panels during use;a plurality of impact-absorbing spacers, at least one of said spacers being connected to said back surface of each of said panels and positioned so as to be approximately centered between adjacent ones of said suction cups; andattachment means to firmly secure said spacers and said convex front surfaces of said suction cups to said back surfaces of said panels so that when said panels are in their protective positions against a piece of glass and sufficient tensioning forces are applied to said tongue releases, said suction grip of each of said suction cups on the piece of glass being protected becomes disrupted allowing each of said panels to be lifted away from the protected glass.
