Abstract: A tassel weight for a control cord of a vertical blind, having a body with a hollow interior to be filled by the required number of weights, and a metal strip extending around the body and holding the weights in the interior and the pulley of the control cord in place.
Abstract: A pet access door kit and method of installation in a screen door. The kit includes members attachable to the door screen to define a generally rectangular screen section adjacent a lower corner of the screen door. The screen material is cut within the defined area except for the upper extremity of the section, to form a screen flap, the upper extremity of the flap constituting a hinge portion. A suitable weight is attachable to the lower extremity of the flap to maintain it in closed position.
Abstract: A safety window comprising an inner window including three adjacent inner panels and an outer window including three adjacent outer panels. The outside panes can be washed conveniently and safely from the inside. The inner center panel opens in conjunction with the outer center panel to provide an opening through which an arm can pass for cleaning the outside panes. Sash sections act like bars to eliminate the possibility of falls from the window, and also to prevent entry by burglars or vandals--even when the window is open.For fresh air, the outer center panel opens in conjunction with an inner side panel to provide an opening through which air can pass. The resulting baffled arrangement of panels prevents direct wind drafts and also entry of rain. A screen, or filter, is interposed crosswise between opposing windows. Translucent glass panes may be utilized to adapt the invention for bathroom use.
Abstract: A folding screen is formed by a plurality of successively hinged, rigid, radiation-controlling planar panels supported so the screen can be opened (or extended) and closed (or collapsed). Adjacent panels are supported only at their edges, by a hinge member having symmetrical back-to-back tubular channels. The hinge member possesses sufficient rigidity to permit hinged, side-by-side coaction of the panels from a stacked, generally vertical relationship when the screen is collapsed, to an undulating planar relationship when the screen is opened, which relationship is essential if the screen is to be collapsed without binding. The screen is translatable on a pair of parallel, mono-level tracks, and operated by a flexible drive member extending along a rail and connected to the screen's leading ("lead") panel.A novel skylight includes a curb assembly, a "bubble" (or "dome") and a folding screen translatable to-and-fro below the bubble.
Abstract: A window screen arrangement comprises a novel roller combination for winding and unwinding the screen or shade element and at the same time providing for positioning of the entire screen assembly in any desired position vertically on a window to provide partial screening in any part of the window while at the same time permitting additional screening provided by the operation of the screen upon a roller. The method of supporting the screen in the window opening comprises a novel arrangement of cords for support and positioning which permit the foregoing without the use of pulleys, springs, counter-weights, hooks, clamps, or other positioning devices to hold the screen assembly in any given vertical location while permitting its roller features to function.
