DESCRIPTION
As shown generally in the drawings, a portable window cover assembly 11 is provided consisting of a flexible integrally formed magnetized frame 12 having a flexible window cover member 13 attached thereto and coextensive therewith.
The window cover member 13 may selectively be attached to the frame 12 along the peripheral edge portions thereof by use of stitching or stapling. Further, the window cover member 13 sd/~, 4 ~Z23~82 can be selectively glued to the frame 12, or, if desired, it can be heat bonded thereto by heat bonding techniques well-known in the art. In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2, the flexible window cover member 13 is a screen material which prevents insects and the like from entering a window over which it is placed while permitting ventilation air to pass therethrough into the interior of the vehicle or building structure. In another embodiment of the invention, the flexible window cover member 13 can be solar shade plastic sheet material which is well known in the art so as to prevent the sun rays and heat from entering a window over which i~t is mounted or it can be a one-way mirror material that is also well kncwn in the art. It is also within the scope of the invention that the flexible window cover member 13 can consist of a canvas material, glass or a clear plastic sheet material so as to prevent rain, snow or sleet from entering the window over which it is mounted. While the portable window cover assemblv described herein is generally mounted on the interior of the vehicle or building structure, it is within the scope of the invention to provide a portable window cover assembly having a solid cover member for use in preventing build-up of ice and snow on the exterior of windows such as windshields.
As shQwn in Figures 1 and 4, the portable window cover assembly 11 can be selectively mounted in a matter of seconds over a window opening provided in a vehicle door 14 without the need of ancillary connecting elements such as snaps and the like. Generally the door 14 is metallic and magnetically attractive and thus, the magnetized frame 12 of the portable window cover assembly 11 adheres thereto thereby maintaining the window cover member 13 in a completely taut sealable covering register across the window opening. In use, the door window 15 can be selectively opened and closedwl~ile the window sd/ ~5~
12234~32 cover assembly 11 remains in place as shown in Figure 1.
When not in use, the flexible portable window cover assembly 11 can be almost instantaneously detached from the door 14 and rolled up for storage purposes as shown in Figure 3.
It has becn found that windows in some vehicles, mobile homes and portable and/or fixed building structures do not have frames or wall surfaces contiguous therewith that are magnetically attractive. Hence, the portable window cover assembly 11 described heretofore cannot be utilized therewith.
It has thus become necessary to provide an associated flexible magnetized mounting frame 16 having an adhesive layer 17 provided on one side thereof so as to provide for easy sealable engagement with the non-magnetic surface.
As shown in Figure 5, the associated magnetized mounting frame 16 is easily sealably affixed to the non-magnetic surface 18 around the window 19. This is easily accomplished because the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 17 adheres to the panel 18 and thus retains the magnetized mount-ing frame 16 in a sealed position around the window 19. Thus positioned, the mounting frame 16 can receive the portable window cover assembly 11 thereagainst and magnetically retain it in covering register over the window 19.
The relative positioning of the window 19 and associated non-magnetic surface 18, the associated adhesive-backed magnetized mounting frame 16 and the portable window cover assembly 11 is shown in the cross-sectional schematic exploded view in Figure 6.
In fabricating the portable window cover assembly, the flexible screen material or solid sheet material is cut to size so as to be coextensive with the flexible integrally formed magnetized frame and is affixed thereto as previously described. In fabricating the associated adhesive backed magnetized mounting frame, it can be custom-cut to form its sd/~ll -6-lZ~348~
desired one piece integral configuration or it can be formed by elongated adhesive backed magnetized strips into the desired configuration by stitching, stapling and the like.
It is also within the scope of the invention that elongatc adhesive-backed magneti~ed mounting strips be positioned along each side of a window located in a non-magnetic surface of a vehicle or building structure in place of the previously described magnetic frame 16. Thus positioned, the mounting strips can receive the portable window assembly 11 thereagainst. Further, although the magnetized frame 12 of the portable window cover assembly 11 is shown as an integrally formed unitary member, it is within the scope of the invention to be forrncd by use of individual elongate magnetized extruded strips mitered and connected at their ends by use of staples and/or appropriate connecting means so as to form an appropriate frame configuration as shown in the drawings.
It should be noted that the flexible magnetized frames and strips shown and described herein are well known in the art and will not be described in detail herein. Suffice it to say that the material utilized generally comprises permanent magnetic particles dispersed in a flexible non-magnetic matrix.
Such material is commercially available in whatever polarity and magnetic patterns are desired and in any desired extruded strip and/or sheet configuration and custom cut parts as required.
It is thus seen that portable window cover assembly having a magnetized frame is provided having versatility in use in vehicles,such as automobiles, station wagons, recreational vehicles, boats, trucks, vans, mobile homes and the like. Further, the use of the adhesive-backed magnetized mounting frame expands the use of the portable window cover assembly to vehicles and portable and/or fixed building structures having non-magnetic surfaces with which the ~Z234~32 portable window cover assembly could not normally be used.
Although the use of the portable window cover assembly has been described for use in connection with windows that open and close, it is considered to be within the scope of the invention that the portable window cover assembly can be used in connection with sealed windows such as those located in vans and boats. In such applications the window cover per se can consist of both rigid and flexible plastic materials such as glass, Plexiglas* (a clear transparent thermoplastic material? solar shade, one-way mirrored film and the like.
Thus, a portable window cover assembly and the associated adhesive-backed magnetized mounting frame are provided which can be selectively used to not only provide ventilation along with protection against insects but also to provide privacy and protection against the sun's rays and the elements such as rain, snow and the like. Further, the use of the fully integrally formed magnetized frames provide complete 100% continuous sealing engagement against the surface to which they are affixed and which do not in any way damage the surface. This is not found in the devices of the prior known art.
It is thus seen that a unique portable window cover assembly is provided consisting of a flexible in~egrally formed magnetized frame which is adapted for selective sealable mounting against a surface defining a * Trademark ~LZ23~8Z

The window cover member can selectively consist of a flexible screen, a flexible solar shade sheet, a clear plastic sheet, a glass panel, a canvas sheet, a one-way mirror film and the like.

The window cover member is adapted to be in covering register with the window over which the first frame is mounted. The window cover member can selectively consist of materials as previously described.
Various other modifications of the invention may be made without departing rom the principle thereof. Each of the modifications is to be considered as included in the hereinafter appended claims, unless these claims by their language expressly provide otherwise.

As shown generally in the drawings, a portable window cover assembly 11 is provided consisting of a flexible integrally formed magnetized frame 12 having a flexible window cover member 13 attached thereto and coextensive therewith.
The window cover member 13 may selectively be attached to the frame 12 along the peripheral edge portions thereof by use of stitching or stapling. Further, the window cover member 13 sd/~, 4 ~Z23~82 can be selectively glued to the frame 12, or, if desired, it can be heat bonded thereto by heat bonding techniques well-known in the art. In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figures 1 and 2, the flexible window cover member 13 is a screen material which prevents insects and the like from entering a window over which it is placed while permitting ventilation air to pass therethrough into the interior of the vehicle or building structure. In another embodiment of the invention, the flexible window cover member 13 can be solar shade plastic sheet material which is well known in the art so as to prevent the sun rays and heat from entering a window over which i~t is mounted or it can be a one-way mirror material that is also well kncwn in the art. It is also within the scope of the invention that the flexible window cover member 13 can consist of a canvas material, glass or a clear plastic sheet material so as to prevent rain, snow or sleet from entering the window over which it is mounted. While the portable window cover assemblv described herein is generally mounted on the interior of the vehicle or building structure, it is within the scope of the invention to provide a portable window cover assembly having a solid cover member for use in preventing build-up of ice and snow on the exterior of windows such as windshields.
As shQwn in Figures 1 and 4, the portable window cover assembly 11 can be selectively mounted in a matter of seconds over a window opening provided in a vehicle door 14 without the need of ancillary connecting elements such as snaps and the like. Generally the door 14 is metallic and magnetically attractive and thus, the magnetized frame 12 of the portable window cover assembly 11 adheres thereto thereby maintaining the window cover member 13 in a completely taut sealable covering register across the window opening. In use, the door window 15 can be selectively opened and closedwl~ile the window sd/ ~5~
12234~32 cover assembly 11 remains in place as shown in Figure 1.
When not in use, the flexible portable window cover assembly 11 can be almost instantaneously detached from the door 14 and rolled up for storage purposes as shown in Figure 3.
It has becn found that windows in some vehicles, mobile homes and portable and/or fixed building structures do not have frames or wall surfaces contiguous therewith that are magnetically attractive. Hence, the portable window cover assembly 11 described heretofore cannot be utilized therewith.
It has thus become necessary to provide an associated flexible magnetized mounting frame 16 having an adhesive layer 17 provided on one side thereof so as to provide for easy sealable engagement with the non-magnetic surface.
As shown in Figure 5, the associated magnetized mounting frame 16 is easily sealably affixed to the non-magnetic surface 18 around the window 19. This is easily accomplished because the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 17 adheres to the panel 18 and thus retains the magnetized mount-ing frame 16 in a sealed position around the window 19. Thus positioned, the mounting frame 16 can receive the portable window cover assembly 11 thereagainst and magnetically retain it in covering register over the window 19.
The relative positioning of the window 19 and associated non-magnetic surface 18, the associated adhesive-backed magnetized mounting frame 16 and the portable window cover assembly 11 is shown in the cross-sectional schematic exploded view in Figure 6.
In fabricating the portable window cover assembly, the flexible screen material or solid sheet material is cut to size so as to be coextensive with the flexible integrally formed magnetized frame and is affixed thereto as previously described. In fabricating the associated adhesive backed magnetized mounting frame, it can be custom-cut to form its sd/~ll -6-lZ~348~

It is also within the scope of the invention that elongatc adhesive-backed magneti~ed mounting strips be positioned along each side of a window located in a non-magnetic surface of a vehicle or building structure in place of the previously described magnetic frame 16. Thus positioned, the mounting strips can receive the portable window assembly 11 thereagainst. Further, although the magnetized frame 12 of the portable window cover assembly 11 is shown as an integrally formed unitary member, it is within the scope of the invention to be forrncd by use of individual elongate magnetized extruded strips mitered and connected at their ends by use of staples and/or appropriate connecting means so as to form an appropriate frame configuration as shown in the drawings.
