Device affording protection against insects for building openings and method for its manufacture

Abstract

Abstract 1. Device affording protection against insects for building openings, particularly windows, comprising a flexible net (5) of weather resistant, corrosion-resistant material movable up and down in the opening of the building in the manner of a jalousie and movable up and down between a zig-zag folded position in which the net at least partially exposes the opening of the building, and a stretched position in which the net closes the opening of the building, and a horizontal stabilizing rod (7) attached to the net, characterized in that the width (B) of the net (5) in non-deformed condition is greater than the width (b) of the opening of the building, that the net (5) is fixed in the manner of an accordion by horizontal folding edges (6) and that the lateral edges (11) of the net (5) are bent with respect to the middle portion of the net (5) arranged between the lateral edges resiliently contacting the portions of the side surfaces (1) of the opening of the building lying in the plane of the net and extending perpendicularly to the plane of the net, the stabilizing rod (7) being shorter than the width (B) of the net (5).
