The releasable attachment may be between a loop of cable formed at the interior end and the window frame anchor, where the window frame anchor may be a T-screw.

Screen mounting assembly and window having the same

A window includes a window frame and a screen mounting assembly. The window frame is formed with two rail slots. The screen mounting assembly is adapted to be connected to a window screen and includes a roller unit, a sliding unit and an interconnecting unit. The roller unit includes a roller seat. The sliding unit is slidable along the rail slots and defines an engaging groove. The interconnecting unit is operable between a disengaging state where the interconnecting unit is connected to the roller seat, and an engaging state where the interconnecting unit is separated from the roller seat and inserted into the engaging groove so as to engage the sliding unit, such that movement of the sliding unit along the rail slots results in winding and unwinding of the window screen.

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.
