Description
1962 A. CRUSELLAS ET AL 3,021,898
WINDOW PROTECTION Filed Jan. 27, 1958 INVENTOR$ Alberto Cruselms.
United States Patent 3,021,898 WINDOW PROTECTION Alberto Crnsellas, 312 22nd St., Miramar, Havana, Cuba, and Arturo Geudie, Riomar Bldg, Mirarnar, Havana, Cuba Filed Jan. 27, 1958, Ser. No. 711,597 1 Claim. (Cl. 160-364) At present, when a hurricane is announced, the glass of windows, in the stores and homes, located on the ground floor, are protected by wooden boards, fixed to the wall by bolts or nails. This means a complicated work, which has to be undone once the storm is over and often replaced again a few days later. But if the ground floor windows can have this protection, the windows in the upper stories are absolutely at the mercy of the storm, since there actually does not exist any device to protect them.
With my invention, a real, practical and quickly adapted device has at last been made available, which absolutely protects all windows, no matter how high they may be, even those of a skyscraper.
One of the leading parts of this device is a protective curtain, which can easily be slid out of the window, from indoors, giving full protection to all the glass slats and their clips. In this way, neither the strong wind nor rain will penetrate into the room and when the storm is over the curtain is quickly pulled out.
FIG. 1 shows a Window, from outside, with its glass slats and clips exposed to Weather conditions: unprotected.
FIG. 2 shows the same window, also from outside, with the protective curtain already slid down, fully protecting the glass slats and clips.
FIG. 3 is a vertical section of the window, showing the protective curtain sliding down, in front of the slats and clips, taken along the line 3-3 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is the same vertical section, but with the protective curtain having reached the fixed bottom channel member and the top secured by bolts and taken along the line 4--4 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of FIG. 6.
FIG. 6 is a section along the line 6-6 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 7 is a section along the line 7--7 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 5A is an enlarged view of FIG. 7.
To operate: The top slat'll is removed, in order to have a working space. Then, always working from inside, both angle bars '6 are swung forward, until their channels 8 face one another. Now the protective curtain is slid down, until it reaches the fixed channel It), thus having three sides of the curtain firmly secured. The fourth side, the top, is fastened against rubber band 12, by knobs 13-, thus having all the slats and their clips 14 fully protected against wind and rain. To withdraw the curtain, just reverse the operation.
What we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A protective device for a window structure comprising a rectangular frame having side, top and bottom members forming a window opening, a channel member attached to the bottom member and a pivoted member attached to each side member, these latter members being pivoted by means of a flange, a channel member at right angles to this flange forming a continuation of this flange so that when the pivoted members are swung into the window opening, these pivoted members and the bottom channel member form guide means for a protective curtain that may be slid down from inside the opening to cover a series of slats that are inside the opening and knobs attached to the top frame member to hold the top of the curtain in place.
