In FIGS. 1-5, the numeral 10 designates the main embodiment of the screen device of this invention while the numeral 12 designates a modified form of the device in FIGS. 6-7. In FIGS. 8-9, a third form of the invention is designated with the reference numeral 14. The numeral 16 refers generally to a fourth form of the invention in FIGS. 10-11 with the numeral 18 in FIGS. 12-14 identifying a fifth form of the invention. FIGS. 15-16 illustrate a modified form of the invention of FIGS. 12-14 and is designated by the reference numeral 20. A still further modified form of the invention is seen in FIGS. 17-19 and is designated by the reference numeral 22.
The devices 10, 12, 14 and 16 are designed to fit over a vehicle door 24 while the devices 18 and 20 are designed to be positioned adjacent the exterior surface of a rear side window 26 of a station wagon 28. Device 20 is also adapted to be secured to the rear side window of a station wagon while the device 22 is adapted to be secured to the rear window 30 of a station wagon.
The screen device 10 of FIGS. l-S is comprised of a flexible netting material such as nylon or the like and has a shape generally corresponding to the upper portion of the vehicle door to which it is to be affixed. De-
adapted to prevent the edges of the vehicle door from wearing through the material. As seen in FIG. 5, the lower end of screen device is provided with a reinforcing strip 48 which is sewn thereto to provide additional durability to the device. The screen device .10 is positioned over the vehicle door 24 as seen in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The exposed loop portions 40 and 42 of the draw string means 38 are pulled outwardly with respect to the device and are secured to the hook members 50 and 52 which are secured to the forward and rearward portions of the vehicle door below the window. The attachment of the exposed loops 40 and 42 to the hook members 50 and 52 respectively tightens the device around the upper portion of the door and causes the lower end portion 54 to be drawn tightly against the exterior surface 56 of the vehicle door to prevent the device from flapping or chattering as the vehicle is driven along the highway.
The screen device 20 is substantially identical to the screen device 18 except that the rubberized magnet means is not utilized in the device 20. A plurality of fastener elements 84 are secured to the vehicle window by any suitable adhesive and extend outwardly therefrom in a spaced apart relationship as seen in FIG. 15. The screen device 20 is provided with a plurality of reinforced openings 86 formed therein which are adapted to be received on the fastener elements 84'. The device 20 may be easily installed on the vehicle by means of the fastener elements 84 and may be quickly removed therefrom by simply removing the nuts 88 on the fastener elements 84. The fastener elements 84 rigidly maintain the device on the vehicle when a magnet means is not utilized for the same purpose.
Although the drawings illustrate that the devices 20 and 22 employ a metal screen material, it should be understood that flexible netting material may be substituted therefore.
in all of the embodiments disclosed herein, a screen device has been provided for a vehicle window which is positioned at the outside surface thereof. By positioning the screen at the outside surface of the window, a large majority of the suns rays are prevented from entering the vehicle thereby preventing internal heat build-up in the vehicle. The screens of this invention permit the vehicle to be operated with the windows open since the screens reduce the amount of wind noise and also reduce the amount of air currents entering the vehicle through the open windows. Further, the screens prevent bugs from entering the interior of the vehicle due to the fact thattthe screens are in sealing engagement with the vehicle door around the window. The screen devices also reduce glare without interfering with the vision of the occupants of the vehicle. The screen devices of this invention do not obstruct the vision of the driver in any manner. The devices of this invention are easily attached to the vehicle and are easily removed therefrom due to the unique attachment means described herein, and such attachment may be accomplished without the use of tools. The devices, with the exception of the screens utilizing the metal screen material, may be easily folded and inserted into the glove compartment of the vehicle or beneath the vehicle seat when they are not being used. The screen devices utilizing the metal screen material may be rolled and stored during periods that they are not being used. The placement of the screens at the exterior surface of the window does not detract from the operation of the windows in any manner. Thus it can be seen that the devices accomplish at least all of their stated objectives.
