The lower end of the lower sheet 21 is bound the same as the upper end and is secured to the hook-shaped end of an attaching member 28, all as shown and described in my application for U. S. Letters Patent entitled Flexible Storm Window Securing Means, filed October 21, 1950, Serial No. 191,439, now U. S. Patent 2,624,404, the lower end of said attaching member extending into a bottom bar B, and locking brackets H are provided on the opposite sides of the sill for engagement with the bottom bar for flexing the strips and 27 and securing the storm window in locked position, all as described in my previously filed application for Storm Windows, Serial No. 191,438, filed October 21, 1950. It will "be understood that the securing member S is never bottomed in the slotted passages 22, thus the sheet is tensioned at all times.
The bar It can be readily formed to shape and in any desired length and long sections can be carried in stock and cut to desired length. The brackets G can also be mass produced so that the entire assembly can be economically manufactured and readily assembled and installed.
From the foregoing description, it will be obvious that I have perfected a very simple, practical and neat-appearing center bar for frameless storm windows, screens and the like.
What I claim is:
1. The combination with a window frame, of a frameless flexible storm window associated therewith, an elongated bar spanning the outer face of said flexible storm window at a point intermediate its length, the side edges of the storm window being disposed in contact with the outer faces of the blind stops of the window frame, brackets secured to the sides of the blind stops of the window frame adjacent the ends of said bar, each bracket having a laterally projecting leg extending inwardly to overlie said storm window, laterally adjustable threaded posts mounted on the ends of said bars and engageable with the projecting leg of said bracket, and releasable means engageable with said posts and adjustable thereon to draw said bar and storm window toward the side brackets into intimate weather-tight contact with the outer face of the blind stops.
2. The combination as defined in claim 1 in which said bar is C-shaped in cross section with the flanges thereof disposed inwardly and parallel to form tracks, and shoes provided on said posts and slidable longitudinally in said tracks to provide a lateral adjustability of said posts to accommodate windows of varied widths.
3. The combination with a window frame, of a frameless, flexible storm window associated therewith, an elongated bar spanning the outer face of said flexible storm window at a point intermediate its length, the edges of the storm window being disposed in contact with the outer faces of the blind stops of the window frame, brackets secured to the sides of the blind stops of the window frame adjacent the ends of said bar, each bracket having a laterally projecting leg extending inwardl flush with the outer faces of the blind stops to overlie said storm window,
and longitudinally adjustable means on the opposite end sections of said bar and releasably engageable with the laterally projecting leg of each bracket to maintain the edges of said storm window in intimate, weather-tight engagement with the outer face of the blind stops.
4. The combination with a window frame, of a frameless, flexible storm window associated therewith, an elongated bar c-shaped in cross section with the flanges bent inwardly and parallel to form tracks spanning the outer face of said flexible storm window at a point intermediate its length, the edges of the window being disposed in contact with the outer faces of the blind stops of the Window frame, brackets secured to the sides of the blind stops, each bracket having a laterally projecting leg extending inwardly flush with the outer faces of the blind stops to overlie said storm window, the laterally projecting legs of each bracket having an open slot leading therein, longitudinally adjustable, threaded posts mounted on the end sections of said bar adapted to extend through said slots, and securing means engageable with said posts and adjustable to bear against the inner faces of the legs of said brackets and draw said storm window toward said brackets into intimate, weather-tight engagement with the outer faces of said blind stops.
5. The combination with a window frame, of a frameless, flexible storm window associated therewith, an elongated bar spanning the outer face of said flexible storm window at a point intermediate its length, the side edges of the storm window being disposed in contact with the outer faces of the blind stops of the window frame, brackets secured to the sides of the blind stops of the window frame adjacent the ends of said bars, each bracket being formed with a laterally projecting leg extending inwardly to overlie the inner face of said storm window, laterally projecting members on the ends of said elongated bar and movable into and out of locking engagement with said projecting bracket leg to draw said bar and storm window toward said brackets into intimate weather-tight contact with the outer face of said blind stops.
6. The combination with a window frame, of a flexible window covering associated therewith, an elongated bar spanning the face of said flexible window covering, the edges of the window covering being disposed in contact with the outer faces of the blind stops of the window frame, brackets secured to the sides of the blind stops of the window frame adjacent the ends of said bar, each bracket having a laterally projecting leg extending inwardly substantially flush with the outer faces of the blind stops to overlie said storm window, and longitudinally adjustable means on the opposite ends of said bar releasablyengageable with the laterally projecting leg of each bracket to maintain the edges of said window covering in intimate, weather-tight engagement with the outer face of the blind stops.
'7. The combination with a window frame, of a flexible window covering associated therewith, an elongated bar spanning the face of said flexible window covering, the edges of the window covering being disposed in contact with the outer faces of the blind stops of the window frame, brackets secured to the sides of the blind stops of the window frame adjacent the ends of said bar, each bracket having a laterally projecting leg extending inwardly substantially flush with the outer faces of the blind stops to overlie said storm window, and means on the opposite end of said bar releasably engageable with the laterally projecting leg of each bracket to maintain the edges of said window covering in intimate, weathertight engagement with the outer face of the blind stops.
8. The combination with a window frame, of a flexible window covering associated therewith, an elongated bar spanning the face of said flexible window covering, the edges of the window covering being disposed in contact with the outer faces of the blind stops of the window frame, brackets secured to the sides of the blind stops of the window frame adjacent the ends of said bar, each bracket having a laterally projecting leg extending inwardly to overlie said storm window, and means on the opposite end sections of said bar and releasably' engageable with the laterally projecting leg of each bracket to draw said bar and covering toward the laterally projecting legs of the brackets and maintain the edges of said window covering in intimate, weather-tight engagement with the outer face of the blind stops.
