Abstract
Abstract A guard for a window which includes one or more metal bars which extend across the pane on the inside of the window from different points to different points on the frame and are attached to the frame at each point. Carried by the bar or bars between the bars and the pane and in contact with the pane are a wood molding or moldings which harmonize in style and decor with the frame and present the appearance of mullions. When there is more than one bar, the bars may extend parallel to or at an angle to each other and in the latter event may cross or not cross each other. When bars cross each other, they are notched at their point or points of intersection so that their inner faces lie in the same plane. The moldings are preferably channel-shaped with flanges which embrace and hold them on the bar or bars.
