Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 2, 1913.
Application filed May 8, 1912. Serial No. 695,973.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ELIZABETH LYNCH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Screens, of which the following is a specification.
The general object of this invention is the provision of a window or door screen, the frame of which is constructed in a novel manner whereby a screen may be applied thereto and bent to form an exit which is adapted to lie entirely within the vertical edges of the frame so that the possibility of damaging the screen is greatly diminished.
In carrying out the objects of the invention generally stated above, it will be understood, of course, that the essential features thereof are susceptible to changes in details and structural arrangements, one preferred and practical embodiment being shown in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a plan view of a window screen looking from the outside. Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the fastening blocks used in connection with the invention.
Referring more particularly to the accompanying drawing in which like reference characters designate similar parts, (A) indicates the frame of the screen, said frame having the vertical stiles 5 which are provided with oppositely disposed recesses 6 formed in the inner surfaces of the said stiles. Each of the recesses comprises an inclined portion extending longitudinally of the stile and terminating adjacent the outside vertical surface thereof, the bottom of said recess being inclined upward toward the inner vertical surface of said stile.
The screen 7 is secured to the inner surface of the frame (A) by means of the strips 8 and said screen is bent transversely to con form to the contour of the recesses 6, said screen being provided with a plurality of exit openings 9 to admit of the escape of in sects from the room. Before securing the screen 7 to the frame by means of the strips 8, a block 10 substantially the shape of the recesses 6 is mounted in each of said recesses and secured therein in any suitable manner, said blocks being adapted to retain the screen 7 in its bent position. After the strips 8 have been secured to the frame the same will cover the blocks 10 and thereby give the screen a neat general. appearance and by reason of the formation of the recesses 6 it will be seen that the screen when bent does not project beyond the inner or outer surfaces of the frame, thereby preventing damage thereto.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that the invention contemplates providing a window or door screen which is simple in construction thus reducing the cost of manufacture of the same to a minimum, and which is durable and effective in operation in carrying out the purpose for which it is designed.
\Vhat is claimed is z- A screen including a rectangular frame having a vertical stile, recesses to include an upper wall extending at a slight angle to the horizontal and a lower wall at an angle to the vertical, :1, screen cloth secured to the frame and following the walls of the re cesses, and blocks of a size and shape to fitin said recesses overlying the screen cloth with the forward edges of said block flush with the surface of the screen cloth overlying the remaining length of the stile whereby to provide a comparatively unbroken surface from the scaling strip, and sealing strips of uniform thickness secured to the frame to overlie the edges of the screen cloth and securing said blocks within the recesses.
In testimony whereof I a'llix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
ELIZABETH LYNCH.
