ABSTRACT:
A storm panel and attachment apparatus for protecting an exterior window in a structure includes three frame members attached to the structure peripheral to the window. A panel assembly includes a panel member and a panel-mounted connector assembly connected to the panel member. The panel-mounted connector assembly connects the panel assembly to the structure either directly or by way of a frame member. In a first embodiment, the panel-mounted connector assembly includes a panel-attached frame member which includes a first frame portion connected to the panel member and a second frame portion adapted for connection to the structure. U-shaped channels in the frame members are adapted to receive edges of the panel member when the panel member is slid onto the frame members. In a second embodiment, the panel-mounted connector assembly includes a plurality of captive first connector elements distributed at first positions on the panel-mounted connector assembly. Each of the frame members includes a plurality of captive second connector elements distributed at second positions on the frame members. When the first positions are placed in registration with the second positions, the first connector elements can be connected to the second connector elements whereby the panel member is mounted on the frame members. More specifically, the panel member is connected to the frame members which are connected to the structure. In a third embodiment, the panel member includes a removable and replaceable handle.
