WINDOW SCREEN. y No. 299,137.V Patented May 27, 1884".,
lhvrrnn S'rarns SEDGVICK R. HAZEN, OF WEST JERSEY, ILLINOIS.
WHNDCW-SGREEN.
SPECIFICATION forming part o Letters Patent No. 299,137, dated May 27, 188l4.
Application filed July 23, 1883. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it 'may concern."
Beit known that I, Snnewrcn R. HAZEN, of West Jersey, in the county of Stark, in the State of Illinois, have invented an Improved Screen for Windows; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description thereof, reference being had to the anneXed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which like letters of reference refer to like parts, and in whichl Figure l representsaperspective view ofthe frame alone 5 Fig. 2, a vertical section through wx of screen in position in window; Fig. 3, details.
The objects of this invention are the construction of a screen for windows which,while serving to keep out the insects from the room, shall also protect the outside of the wind ows themselves from the spotting of the flies, that shall not interfere with the frame or slats of the blinds when closed, that shall not obstruct the hands of a person in opening or closing the blinds from the inside, that shall leave the lower sash of the window entirely free to be raised or lowered or kept at any intermediate height, and that shall allow the upper sash to be opened half-way. These results I procure by the following construction:
My screen consists, essentially, of a frame xed by suitable strips to the upper outer edges of the window-jambs and lintel, combined with a low four-barred frame movable in the channels below the upper sash, and netting secured to these frames.
In the drawings, R is the lintel; U, one of the jambs; T, the sill; WV W, the windowsashes.
Between the upper and outer sash W and the outer edge of the jambs and lintels are the strips S S, behind which the said sash slides, and against which the blinds or shutters abut when closed. Against the faces which front each other of these strips S S S', I fasten the three bars A AA', made a little thinner than said strips, and narrow 'enough to be, plus said strips, not as wide as the frame-pieces of the blinds. The netting N, I tack or otherwise secure to this frame upon its window side. For the lower bar to this frame, I secure the bottom edge of the netting to a thinslat, stretching from end to end of said bars A A at their window side. This construction is for the purpose of allowing room for the adjusting of the slats of the blinds when said blinds are closed. When the said slats are open, they extend into` the space between the bars of the frame A A A', almost touching the thin slat A2. This is the reason I have the offset slat A2 take the place of a bar similar to the others. The frame A A A', I make equal in height to threefourths of the height of the window-frame, as shown in the drawings. The movable screenframe B, I make of about one'fourth of the height of the window, and thin enough to slide easily between the thin slat A2 and the parting-strips P P, by which the sashes are separated.
As the frame B must be slightly narrower than the distance between the opposite channels, in which slide the upper window-sash, to permit its removal and placing therein, I have constructed the L-shaped strips C equal in length to the height of the frame, which I place over into the space between the sides'of said frame and the channels. These strips C are just wide enough to slide easily up and down in the said channels, and the part C' on each is for the purpose of retaining said frames in place therein, and also to allow a brad or screw to be driven through said part into the said frame after the frame has been placed therein. The netting N is fastened to the outside of this fra-me, so that as it is moved up and` down the said netting is brushed by the thin slat A2. I usually recess slightlythe frame B, that the tacks or netting to the frame may not scrape against the slat A2. A
As shown in Fig. 2, the frame B is in the channel below the upper frame-sash W, and, being half the height of a sash, permits the upper sash to be lowered halfway down.
Itis evident from the description and drawings that thelower sash is entirely unobstructed bythese screenframes,and the frame B, being easily movable, permits the blinds to be opened and closed from the room.
What I claim as my invention, and for which I desire Letters Patent, is as follows, to wit:
l. The frameAAA' ,made to cover approxiother means of securing said` IOO ` mately three-fourths of the upper part of the window, and having slat A2 and suitable netting, in combination with the low frame B B B B', having suitable netting secured toits exterior face, and the strips C C, whereby it is retained in the channels below the upper sash ofthe window, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth. t
2. As a means whereby a frame, B, can be Io removable in the channels of a window-sash,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing invention l have hereunto setmy hand this 5th day of July, 1883.
SEDGWIGK R. HAZEN.
