  • Hurricane resistant screen system
    Patent number: 6263949

The screen is sandwiched between the frame and the retainer bar and the assembly is of heavy-duty constriction to resist high impact forces caused by hurricane force winds and accompanying flying debris. The retainer bar and frame can include one or more barbs to assist in capturing the screen and resisting forces. The retainer bar is also designed to pivot during assembly to tightly draw the screen across the opening in the frame.
