Abrégé

A screen assembly is configured to permit installation in various different sized windows having various different window socket dimensions. The screen assembly includes: a frame, a mesh secured to the frame, at least one expander member, and a biasing member, which may be a spring. The expander member is mounted to a first side of the frame, and configured to slide with respect to the frame between a fully retracted position, a fully extended position, and a plurality of intermediate positions. The biasing member biases the expander member toward the fully extended position. The range of sliding distances for the expander member relative to the fixed frame portion thereby provides a variable lateral extent for the screen assembly permitting its installation into various different sized windows having various different window socket dimensions.

A screen making machine includes a table, welder assembly, and actuation assembly. The welder assembly includes: a hot air nozzle, a pump, and a roller. The actuation system moves the welder assembly along the frame. Hot air from the nozzle elevates the temperature of the mesh and adjacent frame to an elevated temperature above a melt temperature of the surfaces of the mesh and frame. The roller presses the melted mesh surface against the melted frame surface, to melt fuse them together.

A screen assembly includes a frame, mesh, and leaf springs. The frame has spaced apart first and second holes; a third hole mid-way therebetween; and a fourth hole coaxial with the third hole. The leaf spring's curved central portion terminates in curved first and second ends, with first and second hooks proximate to those ends, which hooks are releasably received within the first and second holes, to couple the leaf spring to the frame. A plunger pin cantilevers away from the curved central portion, and is slidably received through the third and fourth holes. A handle member is secured to the plunger pin, and movable between first and second positions to alter the leaf spring's shape, to provide for retention of the curved leaf spring in a socket of a master frame of a window/door, and alternatively permit removal or installation of the screen assembly.

A screen making machine includes a table, welder assembly, and actuation assembly. The welder assembly includes: first and second nozzles, a pump that pumps air through each nozzle, and a roller. The first nozzle, second nozzle, and roller are positioned in line and spaced apart. The actuation system moves the welder assembly along each side of the frame. Hot air from the first nozzle elevates a temperature of the mesh and adjacent frame to a first elevated temperature, and subsequent flow of hot air from the second nozzle elevates them to a second elevated temperature, being above a melt temperature of the surfaces of the mesh and frame. The roller presses the melted mesh surface against the melted frame surface, to melt fuse them together. A top surface of the table is heated to thereby heat a second side of the frame, facilitating better welds.

Abrégé

A reduced visibility window screen has four frame portions joined together using four corner connectors. A plunger assembly received within each side of the bottom frame portion includes: a compression spring; holder member, and plunger housing. The holder member includes: a body with a first protrusion that engages a compression spring that also contacts a first surface within an opening of the plunger housing, and a second protrusion that is received through a slot in a second surface within the opening of the plunger housing. The second surface is slanted, and the second side of the body is slanted and slides against the slanted surface. The spring biases both the body of the holder member to slide against the slanted surface, and the plunger assembly with respect to the bottom frame portion. An adhesive bonds the mesh to the frame in a two-step ultraviolet LED curing process.

A reduced, visibility window/door screen includes a particularly formed narrow profile frame and mesh applied to the frame. The frame is formed from a single elongated member that is bent to form four corners and four corresponding sides, with joining of the adjacent first and second ends. A high-strength adhesive bonds the mesh to the frame, which is pinch rolled thereon for exceptional pull-out strength. Another embodiment includes a leaf spring movably secured to the frame, to bias and center the screen within the master frame. Another embodiment further includes a plunger pin slidably disposed in the frame with one end fixedly secured to the leaf spring, and handle movably connected to the other end of the plunger pin. The handle member being movable between first and second positions to respectively actuate the leaf spring between an undeformed condition, and a deformed, flattened condition permitting installation/removal of the screen.
