SAMUEL'T. BROCK, OF MOUNT VERNDN, OHIO.
STORM AND INSECT SHIELD FOR WINDOWS.
Application filed November 20, 1913.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL T. BROCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mount Vernon, in the county of- Knox and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful'lmprovements in Storm and Insect Shields for Windows; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enbale others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The primary object of this invention is to provide a combined storm and insect shield of extremely simple, practical and efiicient construction, which may be quickly secured to outside of a window casing to protect the top of the window opening from snow, rain, insects, et cetera, when the sashes are in various positions.
Another object of the invention is to provide a shield of this type having an adjustable body which may be fitted to windows of different widths, the remaining portions of the shield being capable of being made adjustable or telescopic, if desired.
With these and other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, conib1- nation and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my 1nvention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which,
Figure l is a perspective view, showlng the shield in position on a wlndow casing, Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view, Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the center of the shield, Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the screen, and Fig. 5 is a fragmentary inside elevation of the shield.
Referring in detail to the drawings by numerals, 6 designates, as an entirety, a window casing having the outer facing strips 7, sash frame 8 and stop strips 9 for the outer sash 10.
The foregoing parts are of the usual construction and are merely shown and described to illustrate the application of my improved insect and storm shield.
In the preferred embodiment of my invention, I form the body 11 in two sections,
Specification of Letters Patent.
tuolinal flange 1 L bent Patented Jan. 19, 1915.
Serial No. 802,182.
the top walls 12 and 13 of which are telescopically connected to each other so that the widthof the body may be adjusted to suit various windows. These walls are concavo-convex in cross section, present their convex faces to the action of the elements and extend outwardly and downwardly from the window casing, as clearly illustrated in the drawings. The telescopic connection, previously mentioned, is preferably formed by providing one of the sections, 13 for instance, with an upper longiback upon itself to form a channel to receive a flange 15 formed on the upper edge of the other section; and said last mentioned section with a lower upturned flange 16 which forms a channel to receive the flanged edge 17 of the first mentioned section.
tween the free edges of which is clamped a flexible strip 26 made preferably of rubber. The cross piece 23 is secured to the upper faces of the flanges 22 by screw bolts 27 and nuts 28. The bolts extend through flexible strip 26 extends inwardly sufiiciently far to engage the glass of the sash 10 and will yield to allow the top bar thereof moving freely thereby.
A screen 29 cooperates with the cross piece 23 and strip 26 to provide an eflicient insect guard for the window. lhe upper edge of the screen is bent into engagement with the flanges 14 and 15 of the body 11, as best shown in Fig. 3, and the lower edge of the screen is bent outwardly and upwarlly into interlocking engagement with an attaching plate 30. This plate is mounted upon the cross piece 23 and is formed with an upwardly extending flange 31, bent back upon itself, as indicated by the numeral 32, to project downwardly into the channel formed by the upturned flange of the screen 29. The upper edge of the screen and the Vertical edges thereof overlap the inner edges of the body 11 so that when the latter is secured to the window casing by any suitable means, such as the fasteners 33. the screen is-held securely in position. It will bexioted that the fasteners 33 extend tliroughopenings formed in the flanges 20 andalso" through the screen 29.
SaPPkEmntal to the foregoing description; t ades'ire to state that the screen 29 and cross iece 23 may be made telescopic should suchff tructure be preferred. but it is my intention at the present time to provide merchants with a number of cross pieces and screens of assorted lengths and thus overcgme the necessity of having them adjusta le.
\Vhile I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. A storm and insect shield having an adjustable body formed with a top wall and end walls, a cross piece connecting the end walls and projecting inwardly beyond the inner edges thereof to engage a window sash and a screen connected to the inner edge of the top wall and to the cross piece.
2. A window shield having a body adapted to surround a window opening on three sides, a cross piece connected ,to the body and projecting inwardly into engagement with a window sash, and a screen forming an inner wall for the body.
3. A window shield including an adjustable body having a top wall and side walls,
the inner edges of said walls being adapted to engage a window easing. a cross piece connected to the free terminals of said side walls, a flexible strip carried by the cross piece for engagement with a window sash, and a screen, the upper edge of the screen being connected to the top wall of the body and the lower edge being connected to said cross piece.
4. The combination with a window casing and sash, of a shield comprising an adjustable body having a top wall and end walls, the inner edges of which are opposed to the window casing a screen forming an inner wall for thebo y, the'upper edge of the screen being bentfinto engagement with said top wall, a cross piece connecting the lower edges of the-side walls, means for connecting the screen to said cross piece, and a flexible strip carried by the cross piece for engagement with the window sash.
In a shield of the character described. an adjustable body adapted to be secured to a window casing, a screen interposed between said casing and body, the top of the body being formed with an upwardly extending flange, a flange formed on the screen for locking engagement with said first mentioned flange, an upturned flange formed on the lower edge of the screen, and means supported by the body for interlocking engagement with said upturned flange.
6. A window shield including a transversely flexible body consisting of a curved top and telescopically connected end {nembers adapted to be secured to the. side ofa window frame and having in any ected lower extremities, theigfippe s of said side members being enla'rgedantl provided with curved upper faces upon-which the outer ends of the top...secti cured, a cross piece mounted upon wardly directed lower extremities of the end members, a flexible member mounted upon said cross piece for engagement with the frame of the lower sash of the window, and a screen forming the innerwall of the body and having its upper edge connected with the top of said body, while its lower edge is secured to the cross piece.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
