ABSTRACT:
An adjustable vehicle screen utilizes a telescoping frame having a slot disposed in the innermost surface thereof so as to permit an elastic-like screen member to have the marginal edges thereof pass therein. The free edges of the screen are captured within the tubular telescoping frame. The frame may be dimentional so as to accommodate various window openings in motor vehicles by allowing the screen to expand or contract in size in conformity therewith. One embodiment of the invention utilizes a pair of hinges joining together a pair of U-shaped frame members so as to permit the screen element to be folded up when not used. Such U-shaped frame members each have telescoping components thereby permitting the apparatus to adjust in size for various window openings. A portion of the frame is provided having a protrusion extending outwardly therefrom so as to be installed within the groove located in the frame of the vehicle in which the uppermost edge and the side edges of the window may reside. The lowermost region of the frame portion is provided having a channel therein adapted to receive the uppermost regions of the glass window of the vehicle, when the glass window is in a retracted position. The protrusion portions and the groove portion serve to maintain the frame securely in the window opening when the screen is thus installed therein.
