Abstract: A sliding screen frame for a closure assembly having an opening and an existing track for mounting a screen, the screen frame has framing sections with both inner and outer side edges, and a housing from which a screen is payed out and accumulated. The framing sections are adapted on the outer side edge to interfit with the existing track of the closure assembly to enable the sliding screen frame to slide across the opening of the closure assembly and the frame sections also being adapted on the inner side edge thereof to support and guide the free end of the screen between a fully payed out and a fully accumulated position. The screen frame has a mitreless corner connector for connecting adjacent framing sections without the need for mitre cuts thereof to establish continuity between the corner connector and the adjacent framing sections.

Abstract: A handle for a movable closure, such as a screen having at least one edge frame preferably for retaining a screen cloth, said closure being movable into a slot-like recess disposed in a structure against which the closure engages. The handle comprising a first inside flexible member and a second outside flexible member.

Abstract: A sliding screen frame for a closure assembly, the frame comprising framing sections assembled to form the screen frame, one of the frame sections being adapted to contain a roll out screen, the roll out screen being slidable between a fully extended position, whereat the screen is substantially payed out from the roll, and a fully retracted position; wherein the screen frame is free to slide in the closure assembly whether the roll screen is at the fully extended or the fully retracted position.
