A etill further object is to provide imiroved llttftlll tor guiding the fabric during its ll]( \'(lt|tlli \ith the sash and to hold its edges against tlisplttfllllttlii, relative to the window caning.

Another object i-s to provide a screen all of thc pttt't ct which con he cheaply nude and are durable in construction, said parts being; easily applied to the window casing and sash.

\Vith the foregoing and other objects in view which will :tppcit. tlH the description proceeds. the invention resides in the combinrttion and nrrnngcni' ti of parts and in the details of llhil' u'ii dl hereinafter dcscrihc l 11nd 'itlilftWi. it h tug understood that chuntrrs in the pi" cisc embodiment of the in- \'t'llil(m hcrciti dist-l wd can be mad within the ope of what is claimed. without dcparting truth the -pirit i the intention.

The fold 36 of the guide shown in Fig. 7 has an offset portion such as indicated at 38 and which is for the same purpose as are the offset portions 5 scribed.

It is to be understood that the parting trips shown in Fig. 6 can be extended throughout the length of the opening with in the window casing and, if desired, the inodilicd form of guide shown in Fig. 7 can also be extended throughout the length of the window opening. If preferred. and as shown in Fig. 11, instead of utilizing metallic top and parting strips such as heretofore de cribed, the stop strips 3!) can be fcrmed with a guide groove for the reception of the ends or runners of the screen head, the lower ends of these grooves being enlarged. as at ll. so as to enable the head to move into the hood provided therefor. 'here the stop strip is grooved in this manner it is formed with a rece s -12 in one wall thereof corresponding with the offset portions 5. 32 and 38. 'lhe parting strip 43 can be similarly groov l. said groove extending either partly or entirely along the full length of the nindow opening. One or more hoods ll similar to the hoods t may be used in conn --tioo with the grooved parting strip and the scre n. when used in connection with this modified structure. will operate in the. same manner as heretofore described.

It. will be apparent that a reen such as herein described is advantageous because, wh n not in use, it is completely hou ed and protected. The screen is furthermore advantageous because it can be readily disengaged from the sash so as to leave an unobstructed opening when the sash is opened, importance being attached to th fact that the ash. when closed, will be automaticz'zlly coupled to the screen so that, when the sash is subsetpwntly raised the screen will be Him ed therewith. The structure is very sinr plc in ct.-nst1'i|ctioi1 and can be readily applied to an ordinary window casing and sash eithout requiring the services of a skilled mechani What claimed is:

1. The combination with a normally rolled screen fabric, and a head connected to one and heretofore de-.

l l l end thereof, of channeled guides for the reception of the side edges of the fabric and of the ends of the head, said channels having offset portions, means adapted to be attached to a window sash, and movable in one direction to automatically engage the head and in the opposite direction to shift the head and the fabric with the sash, said head being movable into the offset portions of the channels to become disengaged from said means.

2. The combination with a window casing, a sash, and channeled guide member connected to the casing, said members having offset portions, of a hood secured to the casing, a normally rolled screen fabric adapted to be housed Within the hood, a head connected to the fabric and movable against the hood, said head being connected to one end of the fabric, the ends of the head and the side edges of the fabrig being movable within the channeled guide members, and means upon the sash for automatically engaging the head when the sash is closed and for shifting the head and fabric with the sash when said sash is opened. said head being movable into the offset portions to disengage the said means on the sash.

3. In a device of the class described a hood comprising a housing and having an inset portion, a normally rolled screen fabric within and adapted to extend beyond the hood, a head upon one end of said fabric and adapted to be seated within the inset portion, said head including a handle portion and a resilient hooked portion, and means adapted to move with the sash for auto matically engaging said hooked portion when the sash is closet] and for shifting said hooked portion and the screen fabric when the sash is opened, channeled guides for the reception of the side edges of the fabric, each of the channels within the guides having an offset portion, said head being shift.- ahle into the offset portions to disengage the hooked portion from said means on the sash.

In testimony that .I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
