ARTHUR C. SOULE, 'OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR T0 SANITARY SCREEN & SHADE COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF CALIFORNIA.
WINDOW-SCREEN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 24, 1912. Serial No. 722,111.
To all 107mm. it may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR C. SonLn, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindow-screens, whereof the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvementsun window coverings, such as screens, curtalns and the like, and it has for itsobject to provide a new and useful article of the class referred to, of improved construction and operation, which may be readily attached to the window or the frame thereof, as will be hereafter described, and removed therefrom whenever desired, and may be raised and lowered by other means than rollers, also can be constructed and installed with increased economy.
With this object in view, my invention consists of a flexible member,.like cloth or netting, etc., adapted to cover the window; a channeled member preferably fixed to each side frame of the window; holding members slidable in said channeled members attachedat numerous points along the edges of the flexible 'member; friction members also slidable in said channels, adapted to hold the flexible member in position; a supporting member at the top and a locking device at the bottom of the flexible member.
It also consists in the novel parts combinations and arrangements set forth in the following description, particularly pointed out in the claims at the end hereof, and illustrated in the accompanying two sheets of drawings, in which Figure l is a vertical central sectional elevation of a window frame and the lower sash, showing my screen. in position on the frame as it appears when closed; also showing its supporting and locking means; Fig. 2 is a similar elevation, but showing the screen partly open; Fig. 3 is a horizontal crosssection of a window frame, the lower sash and my screen with its holding means in position; Fig. 4 is a perspective view, with part broken away, of the flexible member, and attachments showing the lower lockin device; Fig. 5 is a cross view of pait of the top of a window frame, showing the supporting member in open position; and Fig. 6 is a modification of the means for holding theedges of the screen in position.
;tion I have applied my invention consisting of the flexible member 1, which I shall hereinafter call a screen, made of suitable material, as netting, cloth, or flexible wire mesh, etc.
To the inside surfaces of the window frame one on each side thereof is the channeled member 2, which is secured in position by means of screws or other convenient means, so that the same can be quickly adjusted thereon or removed therefrom, when desired. These members may be formed directly in the usual window stops 3, as shown in Fig. 6, but I prefer spring metallic strips bent to form a channel therein when in position, as shown inFigs. 3 and 5.
At numerous points along the side edges of the screen are the slidable holding devices 4, of which I have shown in Fig. 4 an example, having preferably the form of beads sewed to the screen or otherwise secured Patented Feb. to, ram.
thereon in any suitable manner and adapted to fit loosely in the channels of members 2 and 3, and slidably secured therein, as shown in Figs. 3 and 6.
At the lower edge on each side of the screen is a friction member 5, which may be attached to the screen in similar manner as the holding devices 4, above mentioned and shown in. Fig. 4, and are adapted to slide somewhat tightly in the channels aforesaid, thus providing means for holding the screen in any open position desired.
Fixed to the bottom of the screen, is a bar 6, and at its top is a rod 7 secured in position by-means of the top supporting member 8, which can be sprung back as shown in Fig. 5, for the purpose of inserting the rod therein or removing it therefrom, thus holding the top of the screen in formed also upon said plate at a right angle from the slot 11, thereby locking the screen in closed position.
When closed, my screen presents a stretched surface; and when opened, the material is taken up in folds, as at 15 in Fig. ,2. -If desired to removethe screen from its-holding engagement, first withdraw the rod 7 fromits position and pull the beads or holding devices 4 from the sides or preferably top of its channeled members. The screen can be readily replaced by inserting the beads in the same manner into the channeled members one after the other.
Having described my invention, and believing I have produced'novel and useful improvements in the art to which the same appertains, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, modifications within the scope of the claims being expressly reserved, is:
'1. In a window screening device, a flexible screen, holding members attached to various points along the side edges thereof, and channeled members wherein said holding members are slidably secured, and a spring securing device at the top of said screen for supporting the same in position.
2. In a window screening device, a flexible screen, beads sewed to numerous points along the side edges thereof, and spring members adapted to hold said beads in slidable position. I 3. Ina Window frame a screening device, comprising a flexible screen provided with holding means, secured along the sides thereof, channeled members in which said holding means are slidably and removably mounted, and a rod at the top of said screen vice secured to the upper removably engaging aspring holding deortion of the window frame and adapte to'keep said screen in vertical position.
4. In a window frame, a screening device, comprising channeled members removably secured to said frame, a flexible screen having its sides slidably and removably mounted in said channeled members, means at the top of said screen engaging said channeled members, adapted to hold said screen in a vertical position within said channeled members, and means at the bottom for looking said screen in said position.
5. In a window screen, a flexible screen, holding devices secured along the sides thereof, channeled members for said holding devices and means secured at the bottom side of said screen and engaging said channeled member for retaining said ing devices at any given point along the channeled members.
6. In a window screen, a flexible screen, holding devices secured along the sides thereof, channeled members for said holding devices and frictional means secured at the bottom sides of said screen and engaging said channeled members for retaining said holding devices at any given point along the channeled members.
In testimony whereof I claim the foregoing I have hereto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses, this 31st day of July, 1912.
EMILY WILDER, D. B. RICHARDS.
