ABSTRACT:
An extruded channel member is disclosed for attachment to the frame of a window or door for supporting and retaining a window barrier. The channel member has a relatively flat leg for sealing against the frame and a generally hook shaped leg attached to the flat leg and forming a longitudinal channel which opens substantially parallel to the flat leg. Preferably, the channel member is shaped in cross-section like a shepherd's crook. The channel members are sealingly attached in end-to-end relationship to the window frame and surround the window or door. A transparent barrier is mounted to the channel members to provide a sealed, insulating, dead air space between the room and the primary, all weather window pane. For use with a relatively rigid secondary barrier formed of a sheet of window pane material, or for use with a stiff flexible film such as Mylar, the channel members are attached with their channels opening inwardly toward the center of the window. The relatively rigid barrier is framed and supported within the surrounding channels. For use with a flexible film barrier, the channel members are attached with the channels opening away from the window. The transparent, flexible, synthetic resin film is cut so it is sufficiently long and wide to extend beyond all the mounted channel members. Near its periphery the film is clamped in the channels between the interior walls of the channels and rod-like members which are inserted in the channels after the film. For use with a relatively stiff flexible film, the rod-like members are also used to clamp the film.
