  • Patent number: 8631619
    Abstract: A grille attachment system is provided for releasably attaching a grille made of crisscrossing grille components to a window or door having a frame and a glazing unit. The attachment system includes grille clips on the ends of the grille components that are each movable between a first or inactive position and a second or active position in which they engage the frame of the window or door to hold the grille in place. Movement of the grille toward engagement with the glazing unit of the window or door causes the clips to move to their second positions, thereby engaging the frame and holding the grille in place. Pulling the grille away from the glazing unit causes the clips to move back to their first positions, thereby releasing the grille from the frame and the window or door.
