Description Fly screens

The invention relates to a partially invisible fly screen.

State of the art

Fly screens are well known and are installed to provide protection from insects by preventing them from entering. They consist of a fastening system such as a mushroom head band and a tulle. Fly screens are known for windows, skylights and doors as well as strollers and children's beds. Fly screens with dark (black, anthracite), light (white) and colored printed tulle, especially with motifs, are available in stores.

Fly screens with dark, usually black or anthracite, tulle appear almost invisible from the inside and thus allow an unobstructed view of the outside. Unfortunately, they do not offer any privacy, so that one can see inside from the outside almost unhindered, and they are also not very decorative. Fly screens with light, usually white, tulle are clearly visible from the inside, which is usually undesirable. From the outside, however, they offer the privacy that is usually desired, similar to curtains.

Fly screens either interfere with the view from inside to outside, or they do not provide any privacy when looking from outside to inside. In particular, there are no fly screens that improve these disadvantages in specific areas.

The object of the invention was to remedy this situation, in particular to create a fly screen that is partially invisible from the inside to the outside, but

but provides privacy from the outside and can also be designed decoratively if necessary.

This problem was solved by a fly screen, as further described in the claims.

Detailed description

The fly screen is preferably made of light, especially white, elastic or inelastic tulle. It can be painted or printed with dark and other colors. It is then used in window and door openings but also in children's beds or strollers.

Suitable materials for the elastic and non-elastic mesh fabrics/tulle are particularly UV-stabilized or UV-stable polymers such as polypropylene, polyester and polyamide. The fabrics have approx. 30 - 60 threads/5 cm lengthways and crossways. Preferred dimensions are the usual window dimensions (1.00 x 1.00; 1.30 x 1.30; 1.30 x 1.50). The colors are applied by painting, spraying, printing or similar. Drawing templates or stencils can be used to help with this; motifs and patterns already applied to the tulle can also be colored in like a coloring book.

In the following, the invention is to be explained by means of examples, but is not to be unnecessarily restricted.

example 1

A white, non-elastic tulle made of polyester threads with 30-40 threads / 5 cm in the lengthwise and crosswise direction and with a surface weight of 30-40 g/cm ² is painted with a predominantly dark motif using fibre pens from Herlitz (Product No. 864903/3). The resulting pattern has a size of 0.7 x 0.7 m. If this fly screen is now attached to a window opening with a mushroom head tape, this fulfills the

Requirements of an insect protection, is almost invisible in the dark painted areas when looking from inside to outside and is also quite decorative.

Example 2

A white elastic tulle made of UV-stabilized polyamide with 40-55 threads per 5 cm in the lengthwise and crosswise direction and with a weight per unit area of 50-60 g/ ^cm2 is sprayed on one side with particularly dark colors from spray cans. After applying the resulting pattern, the same result is obtained as in Example 1.
