To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES C. ARM- a citizen of the United States, residing-at Marysv lle, Ohio, have invented cer- -tam new and useful Improvements in Window or Like Screens, of which the followingis a specification.

screens, such for instance Letters Patent relates to Window or like as is disclosed in of the United States granted Armstrong, July 17, 06, No. 825952. The screen as disclosed in said patent comprises essentially frame members between which the screen cloth is clamped, one of said clamping members having a pivotal movement in relation to the other clamping mem er whereby the screen cloth may-be My invention renewed bysimply removing certain fastening devices and moving the pivoted clamping member in relation to the main clamping member so as to provide the necessary opening for the introduction of the screen present invention relates to means k'eby the pivoted nserted in proper positionafter the win- '01" door frame}? com 'leted, the said me ns serving also; to:-'l eep the clamping inbers from working endwijse when they are tilted up for a "risertingthe I lli f atures and combination and arrange rit of parts hereinafter described and partioularlypointedout in the claims.

, channeled portion 7 is formed. by an over hanging part or flange 8 of the main frame member 1, and by reason of therelative dimensions and arran ements ofthe movable and fixed members, have found it necessa to provide means whereby these movab leif members may be inserted into the main frame when this is 111 complete form; For

this purpose I cut away the endsof" the beveled or 'mitered portions of the movable clamping members as shownat 9, the cutadjacent ends of the movright angles to. each thus formed a filling away faces at the able members lying at other and in the space piece 10 is inserted. This filling piece 1 consists simply of a strip 'ofmetal having rounded side or corner portions 11 and wardly extending arms or portions 12, ends of which abut against each other and the .outer'faces of whichafiord bearings-for the cut-away ends ofthe mitered'sections or clamping members 4.
