Abstract: A window insert comprising a transparent panel which is slightly resiliently flexible whereby it can be flexed sufficiently to facilitate insertion into a window opening. The flexible, transparent panel includes an aperture having an area at least great enough to comfortably fit a hand therethrough. A flexible, transparent cover is mounted on the panel so as to hang over the aperture whereby a person can pass his or her hand through the aperture by pushing aside the transparent cover.

Abstract: A window screen assembly for use in over-the-road trucks and other vehicles. A fine-meshed screen is mounted on a one-piece molded frame and lattice arrangement constructed of a very strong plastic. The assembly is adaptable to many window opening sizes by cropping excess width off one end in order for the assembly to slide into the door window tracks. The top edge of the windowpane holds the frame up against the top of the window opening. The top rear of the frame conforms to the rounded corner of the window opening, and the lower rear of the frame extends over the rounded corner of the windowpane.

Abstract: A barrier having vertically spaced tubular members each having telescopic extensions and locking screws to lock the extensions in abutment with vehicle structure defining a window opening. Posts include spring biased post segments which bias the top and bottom of the barrier into window and window channel engagement. The post ends are bifurcated and tapered to assure retentive engagement with the window and window channel.

Abstract: A rigid, open air wire screen structure with attachment rails designed for temporary and reusable placement in the window channels of motor vehicles. The screen structure, similar to that of a wire grocery shopping cart is constructed of two screen parts, each shaped to complement the other in one of several positional relationships, whereby all of the five basic automobile windows may be accommodated. Its purpose is to prevent the suffocation of pet animals or small children and to prevent injury or death resulting from pet animals or children jumping or climbing out of a moving or stationary vehicle. The two parts are assembled by frictional engagement with a top and bottom rail. The top rail has a rib to interfit with the top window glass guide, and the bottom rail has a groove to accept the window pane. The assembly is then anchored by forcing the window glass upwardly into the bottom rail.

Abstract: A plastics material boot for insertion within adjacent, aligned openings or windows in a camper, cap or canopy and truck combination. A central, flexible tunnel in the form of an inflatable toroidal chamber has spring loaded, compressible, generally quadrilaterally shaped ends inserted through and behind the openings in a compressed state where after they are released to expand and retain the ends behind the openings. The central tunnel is then inflated. No other attachment of any kind is needed to install and retain the boot in place.

Abstract: A sand screen mounting arrangement for a vehicle having an engine compartment housing a fan oppositely aligned to a radiator including a plurality of screen members. The screen members are generally rectangular in shape and have a lip formed on one short side and a plurality of clips formed on the other short side for mounting within the compartment. The screen members are vertically stacked in close adjacent proximity to said radiator to rails mounted to respective sides of the radiator. An access door is provided in the engine compartment and fan shroud to allow removal of the screen members.

Abstract: An automobile window screen is removably disposed between opposing elements of an automobile window frame. The screen includes a pair of flexible and resilient elongated blocks, each of the blocks having a pair of longitudinal edges and a plurality of ventilation holes formed therethrough. The blocks are in abutment at positions along, but slightly spaced from, their longitudinal edges. A flexible elongated screen is abutably disposed between the blocks. The window screen possesses sufficient rigidity to extend to the opposing window frame elements when disposed in the window opening, yet possesses sufficient flexibility to be longitudinally rolled when not disposed in the window opening. Preferably, the blocks are formed from foam rubber, and Velcro strips are used to secure the screen in a rolled condition.

Abstract: There is disclosed in the present application a foldable picture window storm window. It consists of a frame whose lower and upper sections are made to swivel such that the storm window can be folded, easily transported and stored; yet, does not adversely affect the view.

Abstract: A demountable screen for a vehicle window includes a first rigid frame dimensioned substantially the same as a peripheral portion of an opening defining the window. A channel-shaped track guide is attached in overlapping relation to the width of strips that define the periphery of the frame. The strips define a recessed area extending lengthwise along a portion of the frame. Screen material, carried by and extending between strips of the first frame, define screened and unscreened portions. A second rigid frame, carried by the channel and dimensioned so it can slide within the channel, carries screen material to enable the unscreened portion to be selectively covered and uncovered. Barbed fastening means having a plurality of resilently deformable projections is secured projecting outwardly from a surface, including the recessed area, of the first frame.

Abstract: An adjustable vehicle screen utilizes a telescoping frame having a slot disposed in the innermost surface thereof so as to permit an elastic-like screen member to have the marginal edges thereof pass therein. The free edges of the screen are captured within the tubular telescoping frame. The frame may be dimentional so as to accommodate various window openings in motor vehicles by allowing the screen to expand or contract in size in conformity therewith. One embodiment of the invention utilizes a pair of hinges joining together a pair of U-shaped frame members so as to permit the screen element to be folded up when not used. Such U-shaped frame members each have telescoping components thereby permitting the apparatus to adjust in size for various window openings. A portion of the frame is provided having a protrusion extending outwardly therefrom so as to be installed within the groove located in the frame of the vehicle in which the uppermost edge and the side edges of the window may reside.

Abstract: A frame of cloth for supporting a screen at the central opening is slid downwardly over the top of a vehicle door to cover the window opening thereat containing a glass which is movable to raised and lowered position. The cloth of the frame has an inner strip of cloth secured thereto which forms a pocket which receives the top and side edges of the door in sealed relation therewith. The bottom of the frame engages the metal of the door and is secured thereto by magnetic means which may be a strip of magnetic material stitched, riveted or otherwise secured thereto or a hem may be stitched in the bottom in which a plurality of magnets are secured. When employed on the door at the driver side, a notch may be placed in the bottom edge of the cloth frame to extend over the supporting element of the rear view mirror. An elastic strip has one end attached to a side of the bottom open edge with the other end secured by a snap fastener or velcro.

Abstract: A ventilating screen for window openings of motor vehicle passenger compartments which provides for the circulation of fresh air into the passenger compartment while the motor vehicle is stopped and moving. The ventilating screen allows the window to be closed completely or partially while still in place in the window opening in the event of inclement weather, and to adjust the amount of air flow. Further, the ventilation screen is easily removable from the window opening with the window either open or closed. The method for fitting the screen to particular window openings provides for its universal application in vertually any motor vehicle, and the method of installing it in the vehicle window opening obviates any modification to the motor vehicle structure.
