Portable screen wall section(s) are utilized to enclose an opening or openings of a building structure that is mostly and preferably made up of fabric and mesh screen or netting, to allow for an outdoor atmosphere, while eliminating the entry of unwanted insects and/or varmints inside an opening or openings of a building. The portable screen wall section(s) leans against a building structure by the means of the support structure members allowing the elimination of holes, adhesive bonding and/or permanent attachments to a building and/or surrounding areas. The portable screen wall sections can be used alone or are easily attached together to cover larger openings of a building. |

A method for selectively varying the length of a horizontally foldable covering includes suspending the lower part of the covering from a remaining part of the covering with suspension means. The suspension means, secured to the lower end of the covering, engages spaced apart vertical sections of the covering to fold the lower part of the covering over an upper section of the covering. The suspension means also permits retention upon upward folding of the folded part of the covering to further reduce the effective length of the covering. |

A bendable sheet of material includes a column of apertures and at least one loop interleaved therewith disposed along each opposed vertical side and support structure for suspending the sheet from its upper edge. A pair of clips, secured to the lower edge of the sheet, penetrably cooperate with the columns of apertures to selectively retain the sheet foldable upon itself to a predetermined degree. The pair of clips are adapted to penetrably engage the loops to retain a further fold of the folded part of the sheet to selectively further reduce the area defined by the suspended sheet. |

A temporary detachable doorway screen apparatus for a doorway in a dwelling comprises a flexible sheet of screening material shaped to cover the enclosed area within the open doorway. The flexible sheet is made from a flexible polymeric material which allows the entire screen to be rolled up or unrolled for use. The sheet of screen material is provided as a pair of side-by-side screen sections normally separated from one another and overlapping vertically along a central portion of the screen to form an opening along the overlapped portions of the screen sections. An elongated tension rod secured to the top portion of the screen is adjustable in length and applies spring pressure at its ends to the side of the door frame members for frictionally and releasably holding the tension rod above the doorway. This holds the flexible screen in position to cover the doorway. Spaced apart fastener elements are provided along the overlapping central opening in the screen sections and along the outer vertical marginal edges of the screen. The fasteners releasably attach the sides of the screen to the side members of the door frame to provide a non-marring means for easily fastening the flexible screen in a temporary fixed and closed position over the doorway. The fasteners also allow the central opening of the screen to be easily opened for passage through the screen. The entire screen can be easily detached in a non-marring fashion from the door frame for easy removal of the temporary screen. |

An insulating device reduces heat transfer through a barrier--such as a wall, window, door, floor, or ceiling of a building--and into an area adjacent to the device. The insulating device includes at least one flexible sheet supported from an area above the section of the barrier to be insulated and is attached at its free end to the barrier above that section. Accordingly, the flexible sheet is doubled back upon itself and forms an insulating air space. A second flexible sheet can be attached to the support and disposed around the exterior of the first flexible sheet and attached to the barrier above the section to be insulated. Where two flexible sheets are doubled back upon themselves in such a manner, three insulating air spaces are provided. Accordingly, the insulating device impedes conductive heat transfer across the device. At least one flexible sheet includes a material having a low emittance to reduce radiant heat transfer across the device. Apparatus is provided to prevent the formation of convective currents around the perimeter of and across the device and, therefore, prevents heat transfer across the device by convection. |

Disclosed herein is a cordless covering for a sliding glass door or other large opening or window that can be arranged in at least three different configurations. In one configuration, one or more slats may be inserted into various pockets on the covering to enable an individual to gather the slats together and change a length of the covering. In a second configuration, a portion of the covering may be draped over one of the pockets of the covering to change the length of the covering. In a third configuration, the covering can be pulled to one side of the sliding glass door such that the width of the covering is changed. |

A protective limb drape is provided that includes a polymer sheet surrounding an aperture and having attachments along a polymer sheet edge to facilitate suspension of said polymer sheet edge to facilitate suspension of the polymer sheet from a generally horizontal shower curtain rod. An elastomeric ribbon is attached to the sheet to at least partially cover the aperture to define a portal sized to allow the limb to traverse the polymer sheet through the aperture. A flap is attached to a first side of the sheet along a flap edge to overlie the portal. A protective limb drape is also provided as detailed above including a second flap attached to an opposing side of the polymeric sheet with positional overlap with the first flap. Additional apertures defined by the polymeric sheet and a duplicate elastomeric ribbon are also optionally provided such that a single inventive drape is able to accommodate either an arm or a leg traversing the polymeric sheet. |
