## Abstract

The window ventilation system is sized for a variety of automobile windows, and provides fresh air to the vehicle. The ventilation unit's top and sides are made to slide into the door's window slot, and the bottom of the unit has a “U” shaped slot for the window to slide into. There are handles to assist with screen placement, that also double as safety bars to prevent screen from being sucked out of window. The window ventilation unit is sized such as to allow for the maximum amount of air flow possible by extending over more than one-half of the total glass window area, i.e., such that it is larger than the area of the glass window used to hold the unit in place.

## Claims

### Claim 1

In a fine mesh screen for open automobile windows, the fine mesh screen comprising a frame having an upper, lower and two side edges being intended to be inserted into the glass window slots of the automobile window, and the lower frame edge forming a u-shaped slot opening downwardly and intended to slip over and around an upper portion of the glass window to thereby lock the frame in place; the improvement comprising a plurality of fingers extending from the upper edge of the screen frame upwardly and in firm contact with the interior of the molding surrounding the automobile window, the fingers can be substantially rigid or have a high modulus of elasticity.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

In the fine mesh screen for open automobile windows of claim 1, the further improvement comprising the frame for the fine mesh screen being substantially rigid and having telescoping top and bottom edges to allow for changing the width of the screen in order to more easily fit within the automobile window slots.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

In the fine mesh screen for open automobile windows of claim 1, the further improvement comprising a plurality of lengths of heavier wire extending from the lower frame edge to the upper frame edge and spaced along the width of the mesh screen, the heavier wire being woven through the fine mesh or being located on the external side of the fine mesh screen.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

In the fine mesh screen for open automobile windows of claim 1, the further improvement comprising fingers extending from the lower edge of the screen upper frame portion, upwardly and in firm contact with the interior molding surrounding the open automobile window.

### Claim 5

In a fine mesh screen for open automobile windows, the fine mesh screen comprising a frame having an upper lower and side edges, the upper and two side edges intended to be inserted into the glass window slots of the automobile window and the lower frame edge forming a u-shaped slot opening downwardly and intended to slip over and around an upper portion of the glass window to thereby lock the frame in place; the improvements comprising a safety grip extending from the upper edge of the screen frame upwardly and in firm contact with the interior of the molding surrounding the automobile window, a second safety grip extending from the lower edge of the screen frame downwardly and in firm contact with the interior molding surrounding the automobile window, the fingers can be formed of a rigid material or a material having a high modulus of elasticity; the frame for the fine mesh screen being substantially rigid and having telescoping top and bottom edges to allow for changing the width of the screen in order to more easily fit within the automobile window slots, and a plurality of lengths of heavier wire extending from the lower frame edge to the upper frame edge and spaced along the width of the mesh screen, the heavier wire being woven through the fine mesh or being located on the external side of the fine mesh screen.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The fine mesh screen for open automobile windows of claim 5, further comprising a sliding rear frame for adjusting to various size vehicle windows and a locking system for maintaining the rear frame in a set position so as to fill the window opening and not permit the entry of any debris or insects.
