Appl. No.:

6/747960

Inventors:

Richard C. Boykin - New York NY

International Classification:

E06B 368

US Classification:

49 56

Abstract:

A protective system for the vent window of a motor vehicle that comprises a metal mesh member positioned across the vent window inside the vehicle. A blocking pin connected to the mesh member extends laterally at a location that blocks rotational movement of the vent window latch from a locked mode onto the adjacent door frame wherein the vent window is prevented from being rotated from its closed position to an open position. The mesh member has a frame that includes a forward angled frame portion and a horizontal bottom frame portion that are adapted to secure the mesh member to the front door. A plate is secured to the front door via window regulator plate screws. A hinge secured to the plate and the bottom frame portion is adapted to rotate the mesh member about a horizontal axis to a position away from the vent window. A mounting bar having a slidable member is secured to the front door via vent window frame screws. The slidable member secures or frees pins attached to the mesh frame for transverse movement of the mesh member about the hinge.

Abstract:

A vent window securing device adapted to be mounted on a van or truck door having a vent window. The securing device includes a flat support member that is attached to the inside of the front door by the same bolts that hold the window regulator to the door. An adjustable vertical gear member has a top portion having a U-shaped clamp that fits over the latch of the vent window in the horizontal position. The bottom portion of the vertical gear member has vertical gear teeth that mesh with the teeth of a circular gear that is connected to the flat support member by a shaft having a handle that can be rotated. The U-shaped clamp can be attached to a vertical steel rod having a threaded bottom that is adjustable with the vertical gear member by a flange and nut connector. An alternative embodiment provides an upwardly facing clamp under the vent window that is clamped to the window by a downwardly facing clamp attached to the top of the steel rod.
