A screen system for use with a sliding panel of a window or door is used to screen an opening as the sliding panel or door is opened. The screen is attached to the edge of the sliding panel adjacent the opening, and is wound onto a spindle. The spindle is rotatably mounted adjacent the screen opening around which the screen is wound so that the screen can be unwound from or wound onto the spindle. A cord is connected between the sliding panel and the spindle pulley via an idler pulley. In this arrangement the spindle is caused to rotate so as to wind the screen back onto the spindle as the sliding panel is slid towards the closed position. While the screen is wound off the spindle, the cord is wound onto the spindle pulley and vice versa. As the A tension adjustment arrangement can also be provided that is configured to adjust the tension in the cable as the screen is wound and unwound from the spindle due to the change in diameter of the cord around the spindle pulley.

A component part assembly adapted for use with a window or door screen is provided. One or more component parts are provided which add functionality to a window or door screen. An attachment mechanism is provided for attaching the one or more component parts to a screen frame of the screen subsequent to manufacture of the screen. The one or more component parts may include at least one of a locking component, a guide component, a slide component, a handle component, a pull tab component, a roller component, a wheel component, a hinge component, a pivot cam component, a weather stripping component, a seal component, a frame component, a barcode component, an RFID component, a flexible attachment component, or the like. The screen frame may be a flexible screen frame or a rigid screen frame, and may be for a full or half window screen or a door screen.

A door assembly includes a subdoor. The subdoor is selectively openable by pivoting relative to the main door and includes a window panel (typically glass). An array of screens is disposed in front of the subdoor and includes a plurality of relatively smaller screens that are physically separated from each other by a lattice. The structure of the door allows for greater ease of assembly while providing an appearance of having true divided lights. Related methods are also discussed.

The present invention relates to a composition for pharmaceutical, nutritional or cosmetic use, suitable to preserve the physiological condition and health of skin and hair and to reestablish their regenerative functions, characterized in that it comprises a mixture of carnitine, caffeine and arginine as active principle, as such or as derivatives, such as pharmacologically acceptable salts. The effect of preserving the physiologic condition and health of skin and hair, and of reestablishing their regenerative functions is mainly achieved through an increase in ATP production by skin and hair cells.

A magnetized fastening system for applying, over an opening and surrounding fascia of a structure, a covering material including either of a flexible or rigid outer reinforced extending perimeter within which is configured a plurality of receiving apertures. A plurality of rails are adapted to being secured to the fascia in extending fashion proximate the opening, each of the rails exhibiting a three dimensional cross sectional shape with a forwardly projecting support surface within which is configured an outwardly facing narrowed slot for receiving a plurality of fasteners for securing the edges of the covering. A magnetized insert secures together the elongated channels in perimeter defined fashion over the intake opening. This can further include any of the channels being magnetically attracting, the connectors magnetically attracting metal intake surface of the air handling unit, and/or an intermediate applied strip between the rear surfaces of the channels and the intake face (typically non-metallic or non-attracting in this variant), such providing an opposite polar attraction to the magnet contained in the corner L or intermediate, linear T or cross shaped inserts, such as which can include a rare earth magnet contained in a pocket configured on an inside face of the insert.

A system for mounting a secondary panel within a window frame of an existing window. The system includes a rigid panel, an elongated deformable bulb, and an elongated carrier. The bulb has a resilient portion, a base section, an extension extending from the base section, and a crosspiece coupled to a distal end of the extension. The crosspiece includes a pair of shoulders at opposite ends of the crosspiece. Each shoulder protrudes laterally beyond the extension. The elongated carrier has a receiving slot opposite a panel gap configured to receive an edge of the panel. The receiving slot has a neck laterally narrower than an interior cavity of the receiving slot. The receiving slot is configured to securely receive the crosspiece of the bulb and to confine the shoulders of the crosspiece.

A plurality of rails are adapted to being secured to the fascia in extending fashion proximate the opening, each of the rails exhibiting a three dimensional cross sectional shape with a forwardly projecting support surface within which is configured an outwardly facing narrowed slot for receiving a plurality of fasteners for securing the edges of the covering. An insert secures together the elongated channels in perimeter defined fashion over the intake opening. The inserts each have compression fitting sides adapted to inter-engage within the interior channels of the rails. The compression fitting sides can also include any collection of ramps, dimples, protuberances or crush portions to facilitate frictional fitting of the inserts within the channel interior following an initial disassembly of an associated kit from the intake surface, additional and replacement inserts are provided for subsequent reassembly.

A screenlet comprising a frame; a flexible flap secured on one edge thereof to the frame; and an arrangement for securing the frame over an aperture in a screen or window. In a specific embodiment, the flap is made of a flexible material (e.g. rubber) designed to cover the aperture when the screenlet is in use. The aperture allows for a power cord or hose to be passed through the screen when the screenlet is in an open position and for the screen to be secured against insects and other pests when the screenlet is in use or closed. Several arrangements are disclosed for securing the flap to the frame including fastener, hook and loop, magnetic and adhesive embodiments.

A screen frame includes at least two lineal members and a corner brace securing the two lineal members together. A turn piece latch is rotatably secured in an aperture in the corner brace. The turn piece latch includes a latch portion releasbly securing the screen frame to a window structure.
