  • Patent number: 12252933
    Abstract: A reduced visibility window screen has four frame portions joined together using four corner connectors. A plunger assembly received within each side of the bottom frame portion includes: a compression spring; holder member, and plunger housing. The holder member includes: a body with a first protrusion that engages a compression spring that also contacts a first surface within an opening of the plunger housing, and a second protrusion that is received through a slot in a second surface within the opening of the plunger housing. The second surface is slanted, and the second side of the body is slanted and slides against the slanted surface. The spring biases both the body of the holder member to slide against the slanted surface, and the plunger assembly with respect to the bottom frame portion. An adhesive bonds the mesh to the frame in a two-step ultraviolet LED curing process.

  • Patent number: 12209455
    Abstract: A reduced, visibility window/door screen includes a particularly formed narrow profile frame and mesh applied to the frame. The frame is formed from a single elongated member that is bent to form four corners and four corresponding sides, with joining of the adjacent first and second ends. A high-strength adhesive bonds the mesh to the frame, which is pinch rolled thereon for exceptional pull-out strength. Another embodiment includes a leaf spring movably secured to the frame, to bias and center the screen within the master frame. Another embodiment further includes a plunger pin slidably disposed in the frame with one end fixedly secured to the leaf spring, and handle movably connected to the other end of the plunger pin. The handle member being movable between first and second positions to respectively actuate the leaf spring between an undeformed condition, and a deformed, flattened condition permitting installation/removal of the screen.
