A mailbox protector may include a deflection surface adapted to deflect impacting snow and debris thrown by a snow plow. A mailbox protector may also include at least one anchor member in a fixed relation to the deflection surface. It may further include a complementary anchor member adapted to engage the at least one anchor member in a mounting relation. Furthermore, the at least one complementary anchor member may be adapted to be fixedly disposed in an arbitrary substrate such as concrete, or soil.

1. A mailbox protector, comprising, a deflection surface adapted to deflect impacting snow and debris thrown by a snow plow;at least one anchor member in a fixed relation to the deflection surface, wherein the at least one anchor member defines a fixed post which is in a fixed relation to the deflection surface, wherein the at least one anchor member comprises a first anchor member fixedly disposed at a first edge of the deflection surface and mounted thereto, and a second anchor member fixedly disposed at a second edge of the deflection surface and mounted thereto, both the first and second anchor members running substantially the entire length of the respective first and second sides of the deflection surface, wherein the deflection surface comprises one or more of an arcuate major surface, or an angular major surface comprised of two flat sides defining a vertex;a sliding post adapted to be received within an inner diameter of the fixed post in a slideable relation;a means for fixing the position of the sliding post in relation to the fixed post; andat least one complementary anchor member adapted to engage the at least one anchor member in a mounting relation, wherein the at least one complementary anchor member is adapted to be fixedly disposed in an arbitrary substrate selected from one or more of concrete, or soil. 2. The mailbox protector of claim 1, wherein the deflection surface comprises a plurality of panels joined edge to edge. 3. The mailbox protector of claim 1, further comprising a cap member adapted to fixedly engage an upper edge of the deflection surface. 4. A mailbox protector, comprising, at least one panel comprising a generally rectangular shape having a first major surface and a second major surface spaced apart from the first major surface in a generally parallel relation and defining a thickness, the major surfaces defining a generally curved shape, and the at least one panel defining an upward edge and a downward edge;a plurality of panels wherein the plurality of panels is fixedly engaged edge to edge by their respective upward and/or downward edges; andat least one anchor member extending beyond the downward edge of the at least one panel and adapted to engage an arbitrary substrate in a fixed relation, wherein the at least one anchor member includes a female component adapted to be embedded in an arbitrary substrate and engage a male component of the anchor member in a fixed relation. 5. The mailbox protector of claim 4, further comprising a cap member adapted to fixedly engage the upward edge of at least one panel, the cap member comprising a substantially continuous sheet spanning a curved upward edge of the panel. 6. The mailbox protector of claim 4, wherein the at least one anchor member is length-adjustable. 7. A mailbox protector, comprising: a deflection surface adapted to deflect impacting snow and debris thrown by a snow plow, wherein the deflection surface comprises one or more of an arcuate major surface, or an angular major surface comprised of two flat sides defining a vertex, and wherein the deflection surface comprises a plurality of panels each having an upward edge and a downward edge, the plurality of panels being joined upward edge to downward edge;a frame comprising a first frame member fixedly disposed at a first side edge of the deflection surface and mounted thereto, and a second frame member fixedly disposed at a second side edge of the deflection surface and mounted thereto, both the first and second frame members running substantially the entire length of the respective first and second side edges of the deflection surface;at least one anchor member in a fixed relation to the deflection surface, wherein the at least one anchor member comprises a fixed post and a sliding post adapted to be received within an inner diameter of the fixed post in a slideable relation, and the at least one anchor member further comprising a means for fixing the position of the sliding post in relation to the fixed post;at least one complementary anchor member comprising a female anchor member adapted to engage the at least one anchor member in a mounting relation, wherein the at least one complementary anchor member is adapted to be fixedly disposed in an arbitrary substrate selected from one or more of concrete, or soil; anda cap member adapted to fixedly engage an upper edge of the deflection surface. 8. The mailbox protector of claim 7, comprising three evenly spaced anchor members. 9. The mailbox protector of claim 7, further comprising visual indicia disposed on an outward facing major surface of the deflection surface, wherein the visual indicia comprises one or more of an address number, or a surname.
