Bird windowkill prevention screen

Abstract

The present invention is a Bird Window-kill Prevention Screen. It prevents fatal and non-fatal injuries resulting from bird/windowpane collisions. It consists of black fiberglass screening suspended between an upper and lower frame made of plastic pipes. The screen is hung in front of the exterior of a window such that it is several inches in front of the windowpane. The lower frame is weighted so that the screen is held in a semi-taut manner and provides resilience when a bird strikes it. The screen has the advantages of 1) Being 100% effective, 2) Not impairing visibility, and 3) Easy to put up or take down.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A screen assembly for mounting on a window frame, said assembly to hang loosely in front of the window frame by means of eye bolts hung onto ceiling hooks screwed into the window frame. The screen assembly consists of fiberglass screening suspended between two sets of plastic pipe frames at the top and bottom of the screen. The bottom set of pipes is filled with sand to provide weight in order to keep the screen somewhat taut between the two frames.
