Abstract
A rear window assembly for a vehicle comprising a generally rectangular frame having horizontal and vertical sides and being adapted to fit into a rear window opening in the vehicle. Upper and lower channels are disposed in each of the horizontal sides and are adapted to receive at least one closure member. The closure member is adapted to close a portion of the area defined by the frame. A screen having a support disposed around its perimeter is arranged to fit within the frame. The frame is detachably disposed relative to the closure member to fill the area defined by the frame whereby said screen can be readily removed from the frame.

In a rear window assembly for a vehicle, said rear window assembly having spaced, horizontal, counterfacing channels for holding a horizontally displaceable closure therebetween such that the closure is displaceable between open and closed positions, the improvement of a screen assembly for filling the space vacated when the closure is displaced to an open position, said screen assembly comprising an open frame with horizontal side means for engaging the channels and a screen attached to said open frame, one of said horizontal side means including resilient means for changing the effective separation of said horizontal side means between a normally extended condition and a compressed condition, said horizontal side means seating in the channels in the extended condition thereby to support said screen assembly between said channels, said horizontal side means in the compressed condition enabling the removal of said screen assembly from the window assembly.
A rear window assembly for a vehicle comprising:
- A. spaced, horizontal, counterfacing channels for holding a horizontally displaceable window therebetween such that the window is displaceable between open and closed positions,
- B. a screen assembly for filling the space vacated when the window is open, said screen assembly including:
- i. an open frame with horizontal side means for engaging the channels, and
- ii. a screen attached to said open frame, one of said horizontal side means including resilient means for changing the effective separation of said horizontal side means between a normally extended condition and a compressed condition, said horizontal side means seating in the channels in the extended condition thereby to support said screen assembly between said channels, said horizontal side means in the compressed condition enabling the removal of said screen assembly from the window assembly.
