Golf cart window apparatus

A window apparatus temporarily mountable on a front end of a golf cart type vehicle having a roof structure which includes vertical support rods, wherein at last two of said vertical support rods are positioned on opposite sides of said front end of said vehicle, said apparatus comprising:

• a front panel which includes a screen surrounded by a rigid frame for permitting the free flow of air to and from occupants of said vehicle and protecting said occupants from contact with flying objects outside of said vehicle;
• and
• a plurality of mounting apparatuses, formed on opposite sides of said frame, for frictionally engaging said at least two vertical support rods to temporarily mount said front panel to said front end of said vehicle;
• wherein each mounting apparatus comprises:
• a stationary member integral with said frame and extending in a generally perpendicular direction from a back surface of said frame,
• a bracket, movable in a first direction away from or a second direction toward said stationary member, wherein when said bracket is moved in said first direction said bracket frictionally engages one of said at least two vertical support rods and when said bracket is moved in said second direction said bracket frictionally disengages said one vertical support rod, said bracket having an L-shaped cross section causing inner surfaces of said bracket to frictionally engage two sides of said one vertical support rod,
• a bracket rod integral with said bracket and extending in a generally perpendicular direction from a back surface of said bracket through an opening in said stationary member, said bracket rod being movable in said first and second directions in said opening to stabilize movement of said bracket, and
• a resilient device disposed between said stationary member and said bracket for biasing said bracket against forces moving in said second direction.
