Magnetically attachable window screen for window frames
The patent US11988038B2 describes a kit designed for the magnetic attachment of window screens to window frames. The kit includes a series of screen corner keys, each featuring a central magnetic member and two orthogonally opposed flanges. These keys are intended to be inserted into hollow, thin-walled screen frame members, which connect at their ends to form a complete screen frame. The corner key mates, which are inserted into the screen channel of the window frame, consist of an upper wall, side wall, and a spanning member. The magnetic members of the screen corner keys are positioned near the corner key mates, allowing for a secure magnetic attachment that facilitates easy installation and removal of the screen.
Further claims detail the construction and materials of the components within the kit. Each corner key mate can be encapsulated in an engineered polymer, enhancing durability. The design includes specific dimensions and angles for the walls and flanges of the corner key mates, ensuring a precise fit within the window frame's screen channel. The system is adaptable, with provisions for at least four screen corner keys and the use of neodymium alloy for the magnetic members, which provides strong magnetic attraction. Overall, the invention aims to simplify the process of attaching and detaching window screens while ensuring a secure fit within the window frame.
