BYRD C. ROCKWELL. OF CAIVIDEN, ARKANSAS.
SECTIONAL SCREEN.
Application led August 25, 1913,
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, BYRD C. RooKwELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Camden, in the county of Ouachita and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful Sectional Screen, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to sectional screens, particularly designed for use on verandas, porches and the like, one of the objects of the invention being to provide screen panels which can be readily reduced in length and which are so constructed that, by the use of fillets and end insert panels, can be easily fitted to verandas, porches and the like of different lengths and heights.
A further object is to provide improved means for connecting the upper and lower' ends of the screens to the structure to be inclosed, said means being in the form of shoes adapted to receive the ends of the llets and the inserted panels.
, A further object is to provide a sectional screen which is simple in construction, which can be easily manufactured, and which, by reason of its peculiar construction, can be easily shortened to fit the porch or veranda to be screened.
A further object is to provide a screen of this character which, when set up, will present an attractive appearance and will not only be held securely in position without the necessity of nailing together any of the partsf of the screen, but will also be insect roo P With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the oombination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
ln the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings :.-Fgure 1 is an elevation of a portion of the sectional screen and the structure engaged thereby. Fig. 2 is a section on line A-B Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a section on line C-D Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a section on line E-F Fig. 1.

Serial No. 786,515.
porch or other structure and H designates a portion of the roof, while l designates a portion of the floor of the structure. rlhe corner post is preferably provided with longitudinal grooves g for the purpose hereinafter set forth.
The main portion of the sectional screen is formed of a plurality of similar panels and fillets designed to be interposed between the panels. Each panel consists of side stiles l having longitudinal grooves 2 and 3 in the inner and outer edges thereof, the inner grooves receiving cross strips 4C which can be located any desired distances apart and can be of any number' preferred. ln the drawings each panel is shown provided with four of these cross strips, two being located adjacent the top and two adjacent the bottom. The lowermost and uppermost cross strips 4 are formed in their lower and upper edges respectively with longitudinal grooves 5 and the spaces between the cross strips 4 are adapted to be filled in with wire fabric, as ordinarily. The stiles l A extend any desired distances beyond the end cross strips t and each stile is preferably of a. length equal to that of the longest panel ordinarily required in closing in a porch or veranda. inserts 6 formed of thin boards, or of screen frames, are adapted to be seated in the grooves 2 above and below the end cross strips t and to also be seated within the grooves 5. The screen section or panel is so constructed that, should it be twelve feet long and the distance between the roof H and the floor l should be eleven feet long, the panel can be readily shortened by sawing of the end portions of the stiles l and by reducing the size of the inserts 6 so that they will extend slightly beyond the ends of the stiles. |The panels are adapted to be spaced apart by fillets 7 formed of long thin strips of wood or other desired material resting in the outer grooves 3 in the stiles 1. rlhese fillets can be of any width desired, this being dependent upon the number of panels used and the length of the structure to be inclosed. rlhe end fillets 7 are adapted to be seated in the grooves g in the post G.
ln setting up the sectional screen it is desirable to use shoes 8 and 9 for the reception of the upper and lower end portions respectively of the fillets and of the upper and lower inserts. The upper shoe is in the form of a strip of molding having a longitudinal groove l0 of sufficient width to receive readily the upper ends of the fillets 7. Also as stated, the upper inserts 6 are extended beyond the upper ends of the Stiles l So as to project into this groove l0. The lower shoe 9 is rabbetted so as to form a shoulder 11 against which the lower ends of the fillets 7 are adapted to abut and, if desired, the lower inserts 6 can be extended below the stiles l so as likewise to abut against the shoulder 1l. The stiles l are adapted to rest on the shoe 9 and to bear against the lower surface of the shoe 8. After the various panels of the screen and the fillets 7 have been assembled so as to completely close in the porch, veranda, or other structure to be inclosed, a retaining strip l2 is placed in the rabbet on the lower shoe 9 and secured thereto so as to fasten the inserts 6 and the fillets 7 against displacement. With the parts thus assembled it will be seen that the screen sections will be held securely in place and the admission of insects positively prevented.
Importance is attached to the fact that the screens are connected by the fillets 7 for the reason that the sectional screen is` thus adapted for use in connection with porches of varying lengths. By varying the Width of the fillets and by varying the number of screen panels, the screen can be arranged to completely ill in the space between the posts Gr ofthe porch or veranda. Furthermore it will be noted that after the shoes S and 9 have been secured in place, it becomes unnecessary to use any nails, screws or the like for connecting together any of the parts of the screen, other than those used for attaching the retaining strip 12 to the bottom shoe 9.
Instead of forming grooves 2 in the inner edges of the Stiles 1, the said Stiles can be rabbetted and screen fabric as well as the inserts 6 and strips 4 can be held in place by retaining strips.
IVhat is claimed is zn l. A knock-down inclosure for porches and the like, including upper and lower shoes, a panel having `its stiles projecting vfrom the ends thereof and insertible hori- Zontally between the shoes transversely thereof, and inserts removably mounted between the projecting end portions of the stiles and extending beyond said end portions and into the respective shoes.
2. A knock-down inclosure for porches and the like, including upper and lower shoes, screen panels each having its Stiles projecting at their ends, said panels being insertible horizontally between the shoes, inserts removably mounted between and engaging the projecting end portions of the Stiles, and fillets interposed between the panels and engaging the Stiles thereof, said inserts and fillets projecting, at their ends, beyond the stiles and into the shoes for holding the panels against displacement relative to the shoes.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
