Abstract

An interlocking bracket assembly for removably securing a protective covering over a window in a structure during inclement weather conditions. The assembly includes at least two Z-shaped bracket members having a first portion offset a predetermined distance from a second portion thereof, and a first fastener for mounting the first portion of each of the Z-shaped bracket members to such structure on opposite sides of such window. Also included are at least two Y-shaped bracket members having a first portion, a substantially parallel spaced second portion and a third portion. A second fastener mounts opposing sidewall portions of such covering between the first and second portions of each of the Y-shaped bracket members. The third portion of each of such Y-shaped bracket members is slidably inserted between a corresponding second portion of each of the Z-shaped bracket members and such structure for removably securing such covering over such window.
