- UNITED i STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

I'his invention relates to improvements in screens, the general object of the invention being to provide a frame made up of a plurality of bars arranged at right angles to each other, with the screen located between the two sets of bars and the parts welded or soldered together, whereby a screen is provided of great strength and sagging of the wire mesh is prevented.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the'several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims. l In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the -several views, and in whichz- Figure 1 is a face View of the improved screen. Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Figure. 1. As shown in these views, I provide a frame which is composed of the vertical bars 1 and the 25 transverse bars 2, a pair of the bars 1 forming the sides of the frame and a pair of the bars 2 forming the ends of the frame. These barsare spaced apart, as shown, and the `vire mesh 3 is placed between the two sets of bars and the bars 30 are welded or soldered together at the points.

where the bars meet and cross each other, as

shown at 4 in Figure 3.' The bars 1 and 2 provide l ging of the wire mesh and when this screen is placed in a window or door frame, it strengthens the said frame and prevents distortion and separation of the rails and stles. The invention also acts as a preventative against burglars and porch 5 climbers. The invention can be used with window and door screens, screened porches and wherever screens are necessary.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the in- 10 vention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the 15 appended claims.

What is claimed isz--V l. A screen of the class described comprising a plurality of vertically arranged spaced bars of metal, a plurality of spaced horizontal bars, wire 20 mesh placed between the two sets of bars and the bars connected together at points of meeting and crossing by welding or soldering.

2. A screen of the class described comprising a plurality of vertically arranged spaced bars of metal, a plurality of spaced horizontal bars, wire mesh placed between the two sets of bars and the bars connected together at points of meeting and crossing by welding or soldering, two of the vertical bars forming side members for the screen frame and two of the horizontal bars forming end members for the frame.
