Method and Apparatus for Installing and Removing Flexible Window Screens and Door Screens

A method of removing a flexible frame window or door screen comprising:

• applying a force parallel to the plane a flexible frame window or door screen such that the frame of the screen is deformed into a shape smaller than the defined shape of the window or door frame,
• maintaining the deformed shape of the flexible frame window or door screen by holding the frame under tension,
• removing the flexible frame window or door screen from at least one receiving groove of window or door frame, wherein the receiving groove is located such that the door or window may be in a closed position simultaneously with the flexible frame window or door screen being seated within the receiving groove, and
• releasing the tension of the flexible window or door screen to allow the flexible frame of the window or door screen to return to its relaxed shape.

A flexible frame window or door screen adapted to be seated within the receiving grooves of a window or door frame, where the window or door may be in a closed position simultaneously with the flexible frame window or door screen being seated within the receiving grooves, comprising:

• a flexible screen frame having a spring-like characteristic, wherein the screen frame is capable of being distorted in a direction parallel to the plane of the screen frame, wherein the screen frame is capable of assuming a defined shape substantially similar to a plurality receiving grooves of a window or door frame,
• wherein the screen frame is adapted to be at least partially concealed within the receiving grooves of the window or door frame by having a width W that is substantially less than a depth D of the receiving grooves;
• a defined shape sized screen mesh secured to the screen frame;
• where the screen frame is distorted from the defined shape when a force is applied against the screen frame, and where the screen frame and screen mesh retain the defined shape when the force is removed.
