Abstract
A demountable screen for a vehicle window includes a first rigid frame dimensioned substantially the same as a peripheral portion of an opening defining the window. A channel-shaped track guide is attached in overlapping relation to the width of strips that define the periphery of the frame. The strips define a recessed area extending lengthwise along a portion of the frame. Screen material, carried by and extending between strips of the first frame, define screened and unscreened portions. A second rigid frame, carried by the channel and dimensioned so it can slide within the channel, carries screen material to enable the unscreened portion to be selectively covered and uncovered. Barbed fastening means having a plurality of resilently deformable projections is secured projecting outwardly from a surface, including the recessed area, of the first frame. These projections are adapted to mate with corresponding loop-like deformable projections secured to the peripheral portion of the access opening, attaching the demountable screen to cover the vehicle access opening.
