ABSTRACT:
A combination storm window and security system that fits into the window frame openings of a house. The window frame is normally formed of aluminum material and it has a stationary window panel and a slidable window panel. A pair of vertical sheet metal brackets are spaced inwardly from the aluminum window frame and these metal brackets are rigidly attached to the respective vertically extending window frame side members. Spaced intermediate the metal brackets is a vertical support member having its bottom end rigidly attached to the window sill and its top end rigidly attached to the header. A pair of storm windows have elongated strip magnets attached to their outside surface that are detachably securable to the respective vertical sheet metal brackets. The vertical support member may be formed of sheet metal or a vertically oriented metal plate may be attached to its inner surface for detachably contacting the strip magnets on the outside surface of the storm window panels. The interior surfaces of the storm window panels have a channel formed along their bottom edge that functions to provide a fingergrip flange for removing the storm panels and it also functions to house one component of a wide gap magnetic switch whose other component is mounted adjacent thereto in one of the vertical window frame members. The second component of the wide gap magnetic switch is connected to a transmitter in a security alarm system. The gap between the two components of the wide gap magnet is such that anyone attempting to remove the storm window panel will cause a signal to be transmitted to the transmitter indicating that someone is trying to break into the house.
