ABSTRACT:
A security grill which may be placed within a window frame to prevent break ins. In one arrangement, the grill comprises a first channel member adapted to be affixed to the window sill and a second channel member adapted to be secured to the upper window frame. Fixedly attached to the second channel member at predetermined spaced apart locations therealong are tubular stubs of a predetermined length. The bottom channel member has a pattern of apertures extending through the top wall thereof with a spacing between apertures corresponding to the longitudinal spacing between the stubs on the upper channel member. Fitted into the apertures in the second channel member are a plurality of bars which extend outwardly therefrom so as to be insertable within the stubs on the first or upper channel member. Because of the telescoping relationship of the bars within the tubular stubs, a degree of vertical adjustment between the channel members can be obtained so as to accommodate installation in a variety of window sizes. In an alternative embodiment, a plurality of generally horizontal channels are provided and on each such channel a plurality of tubular stubs are welded or otherwise affixed at spaced apart intervals. The tubular stubs are arranged to receive elongated vertical bars which may be held in place during installation by means of set screws or the like. The horizontal channels may then be attached at each end to the sides of the window frame to be secured against unauthorized entry.
