Abstract: A vehicular assembly formed as a complete unit prior to installation and adapted to be installed as a unit from the exterior of the vehicle body with only final securement of attachment means being necessary from the interior of the vehicle body. The assembly includes a molded plastic casing or gasket, a transparent window around which the casing or gasket is molded, and an attachment member. The attachment member may be a continuous rigid frame concealed from view from the outside of the assembly having a portion embedded within the casing and a portion extending from the casing by which the entire assembly is secured to the vehicle body. Alternately, separate attaching members are embedded within the casing. Decorative strips may be secured to the casing exterior. The casing may be molded around only one edge of the window thereby forming a flexible, resilient hinge allowing the window to be moved between open and closed positions.

Abstract: Burglar-proof screening for use with conventional screen doors, and the like, includes a framework provided with an opening and removably clampable into the conventional cutout provided in a screen door for removably receiving screening. A screen is removably arrangeable on the framework covering the opening provided therein, together with a grille arrangeable disposed substantially coextensive with, but spaced from the screen. The grille is removably mounted on the framework by connectors constructed in such a manner as to make it virtually impossible to remove the grille from outside of the structure associated with the door or other closure.

Abstract: An improved woven wire partition that includes a frame fabricated of at least one channel member, that channel member opening outwardly relative to the center of the frame. A woven wire panel is connected with the frame, wire ends of the woven wire panel passing through holes in the channel member's center web and being folded over that center web to maintain the woven wire panel in connected relation therewith. At least one novel U-shaped clip is mounted in the trough of the channel member by frictionally interposing the clip's base between a folded wire end and the channel member's center web. The U-shaped clip's legs are sized to extend beyond the side edges of the channel member, and are configured to be received in an interference fit relation with the sides of an outwardly opening channel member of an adjacent woven wire partition when the two channel members are bolted together in side edge-to-side edge relation.

Abstract: An extruded building device having a spline groove of unique shape for reception of either a flat or a round spline therein for retention of fiberglass or other type of screen material firmly retained within the spline groove. The structure is particularly useful with screen door and patio screen sections as used to prevent flies and other insects from entering a building.

Abstract: A vehicular window assembly formed as a complete unit prior to installation and adapted to be installed as a unit from the exterior of the vehicle body with only final securement of attaching means being necessary from the interior of the vehicle body. The assembly includes a molded plastic casing or gasket, a transparent window covering an aperture in the casing and an attachment member for attaching the casing to the body having a portion molded or embedded within the casing. The attaching portion preferably includes a frame bezel and retaining projections extending into the casing or gasket on one side of the frame. Together with the resilient gasket or casing, the projections accommodate any deviations in contour or curvature between the frame and window. The gasket or casing is preferably injection molded polyvinyl chloride.

Abstract: An improved removable cover for an outdoor-type chair useable as a replacement for the existing covers thereon, to restore such existing covers or to reinforce an originally installed cover therefor, such as an originally installed cover comprising a plurality of horizontal tubular straps.

Abstract: A window with a ventilating capability that does not decrease the insulating effect includes a window sash on which there are disposed at regular spaced intervals a plurality of screens between which are formed insulating air layers.

Abstract: A cover is used as a replacement for outdoor chairs and chaises, for restoring them and also for the manufacture of new units. In case of a chair having horizontal tubular vinyl straps extending across the back and the seat, the cover of the present invention consists of a top piece, elongated fairly wide straps and narrower straps for attaching the wide straps. The top piece is tubular and has opposed edges adapted to be closed by a zipper. The top piece is intended to be placed upon the top frame portion of the chair. The straps have ends firmly attached to the top piece. The wide straps are combined with the horizontal vinyl straps by extending over a few horizontal straps, then under the following straps, then again over some straps and so on. The narrower straps extend behind the chair and are used for attaching the wider straps. A substantially similar construction may be used for chairs having wide horizontal straps instead of the tubular straps.

Abstract: A process for producing straw-bottomed chairs, wherein the fabric intended for making the seat thereof is woven by imitating a straw-bottom of chair, and the element thus woven is tensioned onto a framework or a plate corresponding to the shape of the seat, the sheet being woven in continuous and constituted by several elements which are cut after weaving.

Abstract: A gate or panel including a frame composed of channel members each of which has opposed side walls bent inwardly to define a slot for receiving edges of the chain link fabric which is within the frame. An end link of the fabric, which is in the slot in the adjacent side member, is turned to prevent withdrawal thus securing the fabric to the frame. Each of the frame members has a partition wall extending between the opposed walls so as to stiffen the gate frame. Depending upon the space between the slot and the partition wall it may be necessary to slide the end links into the channel from either end in order to turn the end links rather than inserting the links through the slot from the sides.

Abstract: A gripping device for thin flexible sheet material comprises a channel member having a longitudinal channel of tapered cross-section opening laterally along its narrow side through one side of the member and containing a gripper bar of generally similar tapered cross-section which is movable laterally toward the open channel side to a gripping position wherein the bar is disposed in wedging relation between and restrained against rotation about its longitudinal axis by the channel side walls. Sheet material to be gripped is inserted through the channel and about the inner side of the gripper bar between the latter and the channel walls in such a way that a tension force on the sheet material draws the bar to its gripping position to effect gripping of the sheet material between the channel side walls and longitudinal gripping surfaces along the sides of the bar. The gripping device described is an anchor bar for a silk screen printing frame or screen chase.

Abstract: A screen assembly comprises a hollow or semi-hollow frame with interconnected side and end sections. Each section has a hollow channel portion terminating in a continuous screen ledge intermediate its opposite sides providing a peripheral support. A series of longitudinally spaced projections extend from said ledge adapted to retainingly engage and extend through peripheral portions of a screen spanning said frame and bearing upon said screen ledge. A removable apertured strip overlies said screen and said screen ledge retainingly engaging said projections and screen. A continuous glass support ledge is laterally displaced and extends from the screen ledge, and is adapted to alternately support a glass defining a storm window; said strip overlying and retainingly engaging said glass.
