A magnetic screen door includes a solid section in a screen to protect the screen from damage as users pass through the screen. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a first and second panel each comprising a flexible mesh section, an inside lateral edge and an outside lateral edge. A magnetic element may be coupled to the inside lateral edges. One or both panels may include a solid inset. The apparatus also comprises a second panel. In an illustrative use, as an animal presses on the solid inset, the first and second panels separate to allow the animal through. The flexible mesh section is protected from damage since the animal makes contact with the solid inset instead of the more fragile mesh section.

A metal mesh plate structure having a metal mesh plate and an outer frame; the outer frame has a first clamping part and a second clamping part, the first clamping part and the second clamping part clamp the periphery of the metal mesh plate; the second clamping part of the outer frame is provided with a reinforcing folding part integrally bent with the second clamping part, and the outer wall of the reinforcing folding part is provided with at least one buckle; a reinforcing frame body is clamped with the reinforcing folding part of the outer frame; the inner wall of the reinforcing frame body is provided with a clamping groove matched with the buckle, and the buckle on the reinforcing folding part is clamped into the clamping groove on the reinforcing frame body to fixedly connect the reinforcing folding part with the reinforcing frame body.

A privacy mesh configured for effectively creating a one-way privacy screen in an opening of a space, along with associated methods of use and manufacture, are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the privacy mesh provides an interior surface and an opposing exterior surface. The interior surface provides an interior visual design configured to minimize any visual obstruction created by the privacy mesh when looking through the interior surface of the privacy mesh from within the space. The exterior surface provides an exterior visual design configured to visually obscure an interior of the space when looking through the exterior surface of the privacy mesh from outside of the space. In use, the privacy mesh is positionable in, between, or in front of the opening such that the exterior surface of the privacy mesh is spaced apart from the opening, with the interior surface facing the space and the opposing exterior surface facing outwardly away from the space toward an exterior of the space.

Zippered curved screen flap access panels, systems, arrangements, kits and methods for making a zippered curved screen flap panels in order to access space on another side of a screen enclosure. In a preferred embodiment, the novel curved screen flap can be formed in a screen panel, where the panel is installed in an upper location of a screen cage such as in a roof section or upper wall section below or adjacent to a roof gutter. The panel can be easily unzipped with the flap hanging down so that the gutter can be easily accessed and cleaned through the access opening. After the gutter is cleaned, the flap can easily be zippered back in place with the screen material being retensioned.

The present invention relates to a protector screen for use against arthropods, comprising a sheet (11) having a core made from glass or a plastic material, which is at least partially transparent, and comprising a plurality of ventilation holes (12), each of said ventilation holes being designed to prevent arthropods from passing therethrough. At least a portion of each ventilation hole is closed by a lateral wall or by contiguous lateral walls forming a single piece that is open at the ends thereof. The ventilation holes (12) are designed such that a gaseous fluid, such as air, can pass through the screen (10), while optimising light transmission and optionally cooling the fluid passing through the screen.

A method for manufacturing a flexible screen frame from a flat wire having a coating includes bending the wire to substantially match the desired shape of the screen frame. The flat wire has a first end and a second end and the coating is removed from both ends to create bare wire portions that can be welded. A shrink tube is then slid onto the wire and moved away from the ends to be welded. Then, the ends are welded together and the shrink tube is used to cover the bare wire portions and the weld point. A screen mesh is then melted onto the frame.

Zippered curved screen flap access panels, systems, arrangements, kits and methods for making a zippered curved screen flap panels in order to access space on another side of a screen enclosure. In a preferred embodiment, the novel curved screen flap can be formed in a screen panel, where the panel is installed in an upper location of a screen cage such as in a roof section or upper wall section below or adjacent to a roof gutter. The panel can be easily unzipped with the flap hanging down so that the gutter can be easily accessed and cleaned through the access opening. After the gutter is cleaned, the flap can easily be zippered back in place with the screen material being retensioned.

A window screen that allows for the easy fix of a torn screen. The screen is similar to contemporary window screens. However, this screen contains a grid of squares that can be between 4×4 inches and 8×8 inches in size. The border of each square is a solid fiberglass material which can be 0.5 to 1.0 inch in width. Inside of each square is standard window screen mesh. In the event of a tear, the mesh within the borders of the squares can be cut out. Then, a replacement patch which is the same shape of the removed area can be adhered in place. The patch should be cut so that it contains the surrounding fiberglass border. The border of the patch will be adhered to the window screen so that the borders of the patch overlap the borders on the screen making for a seamless repair.

A security screen employs frame rails 11, as an extrusion of constant cross-section and having a rectangular hollow space 18 and a screen entry opening 19 opposite the hollow section 18. The rail 11 leads from the screen entry opening 19 outboard as a form of channel 20. The channel 20 has three regions comprising a screen tensioning region 21, a glue receiving region 22 and a seal or cover strip receiving region 23. The first step in assembly is to caulk or otherwise deposit a suitable glue, for example a methacrylate, epoxy, urethane or equivalent to fill the glue region 22. The screen is inserted through the glue, the frame promoting movement of the glue into the screen so that the glue hardens to form a matrix around and through the screen.

A temporary panel and panel system. The panel system comprises a fabric held in a two-part, snap-together connector system. The connector system is attachable to a window connector system to secure it temporarily until fasteners can be driven into the panel system and the channel of the window frame. The window connector includes a fastener boss that helps to hold the fasteners that hold the panel to the window frame. The fabric of the panel system is made of a geotextile. The marginal edge of the geotextile may be coated with urethane adhesive before being inserted between the two parts of the connector system. Placement of fasteners along the perimeter of the connector system is guided by a centering groove in the connector system that positions the fastener over a fastener boss in the window frame. The panel system, help temporarily in place to the window frame, may then be securely attached by fasteners driven into the connector system.
