' 7 Claims.
This invention relatesto screens of the type which are located in. front of a window and which extend inwardly in bowedforma-tion beyond the window silland the invention has particular reference to an improved. screen construction of the said type and means for securing the same in fixed relation to the window.
The invention further comprehendsa screen construction having stiffening elements at the opposite sides thereof and interengageable means located adjacent opposite sides of the window and carriedby said stiffening elements for securing the screen in fixed relation to the window.
The invention further includes in one of its forms, a screen construction consisting of opposite sections having detachable means of connection for coupling the sections in inwardly bowed formation, and interengageable means respectively located adjacent the opposite sides of the window and carried by the outer sidesof said sections for pivotally mounting the sections for swinging movement from inwardly bowed formation to separated relation at the opposite sides of the window.
With the foregoing and other objects in'view; reference is now made to the following. specification and accompanying drawings in which there is illustrated the preferred embodiments of the invention. 1
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a screen constructed in accordance with the invention and illustrating the same applied to a window.
Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view thereof and illustrating in dotted lines one of the sections swung to separated relation at one side of the window.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of one of the supporting brackets.
Fig. 4 is a collective perspective View of another form of the invention.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary plan view of the screen illustrating one side thereof in position in front of the window.
Fig. 6 is a collective perspective view of a further modification of the invention.
Fig. 7 is an enlarged sectional plan view.
Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, and more particularly to the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, the screen includes mating oppositely disposed bowed sections In and II, each consisting of a panel l2 preferably of flexible, light diffusing material and a marginal frame l3 to which the panel is secured at its edges.
The sections 10 and II are provided with interengageable latch and keeper [4 and I5 secured to the inner faces of the confronting side rails l6 and ll of the frames lsrespectively ad'- j acent the upper and lower edges thereof for detachably coupling the sections together in side by side inwardly bowed relation. The side rail I6 has its outer edge portion outwardly offsetas at I 8 to overlap the outer edge portionof the side stiles ll so as to provide a lapped joint when the sections are connected together. v
The sections are supported to extend inwardly from the window beyond-the. sill in order to provide a shield against direct draftsv by:directing upwardly and downwardly the air entering through the window, by means of pairs of brackets Illv secured in vertical. spaced. relation and with the brackets. of each pair located on. opposite sides of the window frame. The brackets each has an opening 20 for receiving screws or equivalent fastening means for attachingthe s ame to the window frame and struckfronii the body thereof is an outwardly projecting tongue 21 having a vertical aperture 22 therethrough for receiving therein the hinge pintle 23' secured to the outer side stiles of the frames. The sec.- tions of the screen are thus supported to extend inwardly in front of the window and may be coupled together in bowed formation to provide a shield or the same may be uncoupled and swung from inwardly'bowed formation to. sepa rated relation at the opposite sides oftl'iewin dow.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings, the screen includes a panel 25 preferably consisting of a sheet of resilient, light diffusing material which is bendable to dispose the same in bowed formation in front of a window and which panel is provided with longitudinally grooved stifiening elements 26 secured over the opposite vertical side edge portions thereof. The stifiening elements 26 are formed with vertical attaching lugs 2'! adjacent the upper and lower ends thereof and having their opposite longitudinal edges 28 and Z9 beveled to define inwardly converging faces respectively. The said attaching lugs are adapted to slidably interfit in dovetailed grooves 30 opening through the inner faces 3| and opposite ends of bracket blocks 32 afiixed in vertical spaced relation to the window frame at the opposite sides of the window. The faces 3| of the bracket blocks 32 on the opposite sides of the window diverge inwardly so that when the attaching lugs 21 are engaged in the dovetailed grooves 30, the panel 25 is disposed in inwardly bowed formation in front of the window.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figs. 6 and '7 of the drawings, the screen includes a panel 35 preferably consisting of a sheet of resilient, light diffusing material which is bendable into bowed formation and which panel is similarly provided with longitudinally grooved stiffening elements 36 secured over the opposite vertical side edge portions thereof. Carried by the said stiffening elements at the lower ends thereof are rigid attaching strips 31 having their opposite longitudinal edges 38 and 39 beveled to define upwardly converging faces. The attaching strips 3'! slidably interfit respectively in the dovetailed grooves 40 opening through the upper faces and inner ends of bracket blocks 4| aflixed by any desired means to the upper surface of the window sill adjacent the opposite sides of the window and the same are disposed thereon to project inwardly in converging relation so that when the attaching strips 31 are engaged therein, the panel 35 will be disposed in inwardly bowed relation in front of the window.
What is claimed is:
1. An inside screen for windows includin a screen body having stiffening elements at the opposite sides thereof and interengageable means respectively located adjacent the opposite sides of the window and carried by said stiffening elements for securing the screen body in a relation extending inwardly from and laterally across from the sides of the window.
2. An inside screen for windows including a flexible light diffusing screen body having vertical stiffening elements at the opposite sides thereof and bracket and bracket engaging means respectively located adjacent the opposite sides of the window and carried by said stiffening elements for detachably securing the screen body in fixed relation extending inwardly in bowed condition in front of the window.
3. An inside screen for windows including a flexible light diffusing screen body having vertical stiffening elements at the opposite sides thereof and bracket and bracket engaging means having sliding interengagement respectively located adjacent the opposite sides of the window and carried by said stiffening elements for detachably securing the screen body in fixed relation extending inwardly in bowed condition in front of the window.
4. An inside screen for windows including a screen body consisting of mating bowed sections having stiffening elements at the opposite outer sides thereof, and interengageable means carried respectively by said sections for detachably coupling the sections in inwardly bowed formation extending laterally across from the sides of the window and interengageable bracket and bracket engaging means respectively located adjacent the opposite sides of the window and carried by said stiffening elements for pivotally mounting the sections for swinging movement thereof from said inwardly bowed formation to separated relation at the opposite sides of the window.
5. An inside screen for windows including a screen body consisting of mating bowed sections having stiffening elements at the opposite outer sides thereof, and interengageable means carried respectively by said sections for detachably coupling the sections in inwardly bowed formation extending laterally across from the sides of the window and bracket and bracket engaging means having sliding interengagement respectively located adjacent the opposite sides of the window and carried by said stiffening elements for pivotally mounting the sections for swinging movement thereof from said inwardly bowed formation to separated relation at the opposite sides of the window.
