Abstract
Disclosed is a pivotally mounted window and screen assembly. The device includes a T-shaped vertical support bar that is hingedly attached to a screen and a window frame, in which a window sash is mounted. The window frame is adapted to swing outward, while the screen is adapted to swing inward so that the window sash is unobstructed and can swing open the full 180 degree range relative to the vertical support bar. The present invention further includes a locking mechanism that secures the window sash and the screen in an open position. In this way, a user can open the window to access and clean the exterior side of the window without extending any portion of the body outside of a building. The present invention may be constructed to be installed into any window opening of a building.
