  • Publication number: 20190257138
    Abstract: This invention is directed toward a window for a garage door panel, where the window has an opening that is surrounded by a body portion, and can be manufactured as part of the manufacture of a garage door panel, or retrofitted into an existing garage door panel. The window has a sliding door that can be slid open to allow for air ventilation, and has bars so that pets cannot escape through the window when it is open, and some combination of a sliding screen and optional security bars to keep insects out and keep pets in the garage. The optional security bars can be bolted or otherwise attached to the panel, thereby not only strengthening the panel but also making it harder for pets to escape and any burglars to enter.
