  • Patent number: 11578517
    Abstract: A system for improved window fall prevention provides removable attachment of a window screen frame to a window frame. Systems according to the disclosure provide removable attachment of a window screen frame to an anchor positioned in the window frame by means of a plurality of cables. The cables attach to the screen frame or rest against an exterior portion of the screen frame at an exterior end, are threaded through the screen frame, and include on an interior end, opposite the exterior end, a releasable attachment to the window frame anchor. The releasable attachment may be between a loop of cable formed at the interior end and the window frame anchor, where the window frame anchor may be a T-screw.

  • Patent number: 9617784
    Abstract: A safety screen has four frame portions joined together to form a fall resistant window screen to prevent accidental egress from a window or door. Each frame portion has an upper frame portion and a lower frame portion integrally formed out of aluminum. A hinge channel runs longitudinally along a top portion of the upper frame portion and allows the upper frame portion to rotate around an integrally formed pivot slot that is longitudinally disposed at the vertex between the upper and lower frame portions. A U-shaped spline track may have a locking tab that snaps and locks within a frame hook portion that is located on many window and door frame extrusions. A screen is frictionally held in place when the upper frame is rotated and compressed against the lower frame. Each frame is mitered and welded together to form the safety screen.

A hinge channel runs longitudinally along a top portion of the upper frame portion and allows the upper frame portion to rotate around an integrally formed pivot slot that is longitudinally disposed at the vertex between the upper and lower frame portions. A spline track holds weather strip materials and spring detents. A plurality of compression ridges are disposed along the inside facing surfaces of the upper and lower frame portions that hold a screen when the upper frame is rotated and compressed against the lower frame. The screen is made of a high strength material such as stainless steel. Each frame is mitered and welded together to form a window screen.
