The present invention relates generally to screen ventilation devices for automobiles, and particularly to a screen with an improved configuration, adjustably mounted in the window frame of a car door.
The following background information may present examples of specific aspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts, or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.
Various screen devices for automobiles have been proposed. U.S. Pat. No. 2,491,574 to Morgan discloses a screen for a car window that attaches to and moves with the window.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,779,406 to Merewether discloses a screen for an automobile which is adjustable for different window sizes.
U.S. Pat. No. 23,805,712 to McVicker discloses a screen for an automobile which attaches by clips in the window frame.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,570,542 to Cameron discloses a screen for an automobile made up of a plurality of apertures.
All of the prior art patents disclose screens which are separately attached to the window openings of cars, to allow for circulation of fresh air while at the same time preventing the influx of bugs and debris.
The obvious shortcoming of the prior art devices, however, is that they require cumbersome attachment and removal of the screens, making them inconvenient and time consuming to install or remove. Moreover, the prior art screens do not provide protection from the sun. There remains a need for a car screen that allows passengers to raise and lower the screen quickly and easily in the window opening, as well as for a car screen that provides protection from solar heat and glare. None of the prior art methods have been found to be completely suitable to meet these needs and are cumbersome. The present invention provides such a method and the overall combination of these features is nowhere disclosed in the prior art cited above which appears to be representative of the general art in this area although it is not intended to be an all-inclusive listing of pertinent prior art patents.
In light of the disadvantages of the prior art, the following summary is provided to facilitate an understanding of some of the innovative features unique to the present invention and is not intended to be a full description. A full appreciation of the various aspects of the invention can be gained by taking the entire specification, claims, and abstract as a whole.
