7 Claims. (61. ris-514)" A further object is to provide a. screen particularly adapted for use on automobiles, aeroplanes and passenger cars of various description and also which can be readily introduced in the ordinary household window frame to good advantage.
A further object is to construct the screen so itcan be placed sayin an automobile window frame without requiring any alteration whatever in the existing frame construction and a still further object is to construct a screen which can be manufactured easily and quickly and marketed at comparatively small cost.
With the above more importa t objects in view, the invention consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter more particularly described, reference being had tothe accompanying drawing, in which:- v
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile having one of the windows thereof equipped with our screen.
' Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed vertical sectional view at 22 Figure 1.
Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view at 3- -3Figure 2. V 1
Fig. 4 is a face view of a portion of thescreen. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view through a house window frame showing the same fitted with screens. v I
Fig. 6 is a face view of the catchemployed'with the upper sash.
In the drawing like characters of reference in-- dicate corresponding parts in the several figures. We will first describe the invention as it appears in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive in which figures an automobile screen is shown. a v, v e
The door 1 of the automobile is provided as is usual with an open frame 2 fora vertically'slidable. and adjustable glass window 3 which can be opened and closed in the usual manner by the car occupant. While we have shown the invention as used in-one of the four door windows, it can be installed in any of the door windows in the same manner as herein described. As our invention has nothing to do with the manner in whichithe window is opened or closed, we have not considered it necessary to show the window adjusting means and in this regard, we 'may mention'that the means used is as commonly employed' onthe majority of automobiles now on the 5 a ket I Themetal material forming the .door hasthe upper part thereof fabricated to provide the substantially rectangular window frame and this window'frame present'sacontinuous outerborde'r 10 fla ge' 4 and has wooden strips 5 fastened thereto at'int ervals by [screws 6, Between the flange 4 "andthe strips 5, there isa continuous channel and in the sides of the channel felt strips 7 anc l'.8 are inserted and it is'between these felt strips'that the jwindow 3 operates. All the above construction is commonp'ractice and forms no part of our invention.
Further than this, within the channel at the top ofthe window frame, there is a short rubber buffer-"9 inserted which is held by a screw 10 and when the window is closed it closes against this buffer; The, buffer is also commonly used.
1 In equipping the window frame described with our invention, we take a piece of perforated sheet metal 11 and cut it into a substantially rectanlgula'rv shape of the desiredlength .and width, the
length beingapproximately' equal to the distance between the. opposing felt strips at the sides of merrame. and the widthbeing somewhat greater than the distance it is desired to open the glass for ventilating purposes. V
' The lower edge of the screen is then bent to provide an inturned horizontal flange l2 and an overlying continuous out turned horizontal flange 4 13, these flanges being spaced apart to receive supporting bars shortly described. At the point where the. screen body joinsthe' lower flange, we
provide a transverse rib 14, the depthof the rib being approximately equal to the thickness of the 40 Two supporting bars 15 and 16 are slid end on between the flanges 12 and 13, said bars having 1 I their] inner ends approximately butting and their outer ends down turned to provide end legs 15545 and 16' It is a very easy matter'to initially cut and then shape the screen to provide the flanges and the rib andthen subsequently insert the supporting bars. The. lower endsof theflegs. ar'e notched as indicated at] 17 and the length of the legs [is such that when the, screenlis in place; the 'lower' ends of the legs can be supportedandffastened in position by one of the screws 6' already mentioned.
- When one desires to place our screen inthe existing car door window, he first removes the rubber buffer 9 by undoing the screw and then removes the opposing screws 6 located approximately half way up the existing window. He then inserts the upper edge of the screen in place as best shown in Figure 2 and then reenters the buffer and fastens it by its screw and when this is done, the upper edge of the screen is effectively jammed between the buffer and the adjacent cross strip 5'. The removed screws 6 are then entered in the notches 17 and screwed back into place and when this is done, the legs are effectively fastened and the lower edge of the screen is accordingly held in place and it will be observed that when the window glass 'is' closed, the 'rib 14' rides the inner face of the window, r
With this screen in place, one can open the window glass in the usual manner a greater-101" shapean'd accordingly will always have a pleas ing appearance. I The. screen when' used on "an automobile or other passengerwcar' such" as aeroplane, railway .fcars and so forth permits of the effective ventilation and also excludes bugs, fiies',-
insects and so forth vvhich is obviously very-de sirable. C The screen as above described can'also bejused to advantage on house windowsand when so used screens;
is inserted in the lower'par't of the windowfr'ame inan inverted position as shown bestf'i'n'fFigiire 5. In this view, the then lower edge of the inverted screen is shown'as prOVidedWith'aTeinforcing flange 18 butting the window'sill l9 and the inverted leg is shown as-fastened by 'ascrew 20 to the parting strip 21 of the window. The lower cross member 22' of v the lowerxsash 23' of the window slidesagainst the screenbody'; a} I f It is: desirable tofequip' a house window with a somewhat 'simi1ar screenj24' associated with the upper sash, the screenhavingthe ends'fastened to the upper strips 25. of the'window by'e'ndjscrews 26' passing through the screen and into thestrips 25. The uppercross memberof the upp'ers'ash 2 7 slides past the body'of the'screen as shown inliig'ureiii I f Where the, 'sashes'j-fof the ,window' frames are not "balanced; it is "necessary to provide means for holdingthem in anop'en' position" and accordingly we haveifastejn'e'd' the catch 28' pivotally' to one of thefuppencorners of'th'e' window frame,
jthis catch being provided with notch'esj 2 9to receive a'pin 30' carried by'theuppercorner of'the outer sash. Similarly one of the lower cornersof the inner'sash "is provided witha pivotedcatch [31. having an out turn'ed lug 32 provided 'witli a hole 33 adapted to receive a pin 34carried by the window frame.
' en ,one' desire's to ventilate, he will raisetl i'e inner sash andlcatch theflug on the pin, 34 and ,Will lower the. upper sash and catch 'one or other ,of'the notches of the catc'hf28 onthepin 30L." ."givesventilating openings'at the top and bottom or the frame which are provided by t e inserted provided at one edge'witha "transversely extend- "and the remoteends downturnedto' provideend What we claim as our invention is:--
