Insulation window

Claim 2

An insulation window system comprising: a transparent, rigid sheet of plastic to be mounted on internal, in situ, window frames of buildings, said sheet of plastic having an outer face, an inner face, and a margin about the edge thereof; a fastening means including separable, mating, hook-and-loop fastening portions, a first portion of said hook-and-loop fastening portions including a plurality of elements, said elements each comprising a first attaching means for individually attaching said elements directly to the inner face of said sheet of plastic at spaced intervals about the margin thereof, a second portion of said hook-and-loop fastening portions including a plurality of elements, said elements each comprising a second attaching means for individually attaching said elements directly to said in situ window frames in spaced positions complementary to the positions of said elements of said first fastening portion; and, a weather stripping including a third attaching means for attaching said weather stripping directly to the inner face of said sheet of plastic about the margin thereof to form a seal between said sheet of plastic and said in situ window frames when said rigid sheet of plastic is mounted on said window frames with complementary elements of said hook-and-loop fastening portions engaged.

Claim 3

An insulation window system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said transparent, rigid sheet of plastic is at least 1/8 inch thick.

Claim 4

An insulation window system as in claim 2, wherein said sheet of plastic is approximately 3/16 inch thick.

Claim 5

An insulation window system as in claim 1 wherein said weather stripping is mounted on said transparent, rigid sheet of plastic only between said elements of said hook-and-loop first fastening portion.

Claim 6

An insulation window system as in claim 4 wherein is further included at least one handle mounted directly on said transparent, rigid sheet of plastic.

Claim 7

An insulation window system as in claim 5 wherein said at least one handle is in the form of a rotatable loop which can be rotated to extend beyond an edge of said rigid sheet of plastic.

Claim 8

An insulation window system as in claim 4 wherein is further included at least one handle mounted directly on said transparent, rigid sheet of plastic.

Claim 9

An insulation window system as in claim 7 wherein said at least one handle is in the form of a rotatable loop which can be rotated to extend beyond an edge of said rigid sheet of plastic.

Claim 12

A method as in claim 9 wherein said rigid sheet of plastic is at least 1/8 inch thick.

Claim 13

A method as in claim 10 wherein said rigid sheet of plastic is around 3/16 inches thick.

Claim 14

A method as in claim 9 wherein during the step of adhering said weather stripping to said rigid sheet of plastic said weather stripping is positioned only between the hook-and-loop fastening portions.

Claim 15

A method as in claim 12 wherein is further included the step of attaching a handle directly to the rigid-sheet of plastic.

Claim 16

The method as in claim 13, wherein said handle includes a loop which hangs below the lower edge of the rigid sheet of plastic.

Claim 17

A method as in claim 10 wherein is further included the step of attaching a handle directly to the rigid sheet of plastic.

Claim 18

The method as in claim 15 wherein said handle includes a loop which hangs below the lower edge of the rigid sheet of plastic.

Claim 19

An insulation window system comprising: a transparent, rigid sheet of plastic to be mounted on internal, in situ, window frames of buildings, said sheet of plastic having an outer face, an inner face, and a margin about the edge thereof; a fastening means including separable, mating, fastening portions, a first portion of said fastening portions including a plurality of spaced elements, said elements each comprising a first attaching means on one side thereof for individually attaching said elements to the inner face of said sheet of plastic at spaced intervals about the margin thereof, said first-portion elements having on the opposite side thereof pluralities of small first engaging members uniformly distributed across relatively broad areas of said first-portion elements facing away from said sheet of plastic when said first portion elements are mounted on said sheet of plastic, a second portion of said fastening portions including a plurality of elements, said elements each comprising a second attaching means on one side thereof for individually attaching said elements to said in situ window frames in positions complementary to the positions of said first-portion elements, said second portion having on the opposite side thereof a plurality of small second engaging members for engaging said first engaging members, said second engaging members being uniformly distributed across relatively broad areas of said secondportion elements facing away from said in situ window frames when said second-portion elements are mounted on said window frames; and, a weather stripping including a third attaching means for attaching said weather stripping to said sheet of plastic about the margin thereof to form a seal between said sheet of plastic and said in situ window frames when said rigid sheet of plastic is mounted on said window frames with said hook-and-loop fastening portions engaged.

Claim 20

An insulation window system comprising: a transparent, rigid sheet of plastic to be mounted on internal, in situ, window frames of buildings, said sheet of plastic having an outer face, an inner face, and a margin about the edge thereof; a fastening means including separable, mating, fastening portions, a first portion of said fastening portions including a plurality of spaced elements, said elements each comprising a first attaching means on one side thereof for individually attaching said elements to the inner face of said sheet of plastic at spaced intervals about the margin thereof, said first-portion elements having on the opposite side thereof pluralities of small first engaging members uniformly distributed across relatively broad areas of said first-portion elements facing away from said sheet of plastic when said first portion elements are mounted on said sheet of plastic, a second portion of said fastening portions including a plurality of elements, said elements each comprising a second attaching means on one side thereof for individually attaching said elements to said in situ window frames in positions complementary to the positions of said first-portion elements, said second portion having on the opposite side thereof a plurality of small second engaging members for engaging said first engaging members, said second engaging members being uniformly distributed across relatively broad areas of said secondportion elements facing away from said in situ window frames when said second-portion elements are mounted on said window frames; and, a weather stripping including a third attaching means for attaching said weather stripping to said sheet of plastic about the margin thereof to form a seal between said sheet of plastic and said in situ window frames when said rigid sheet of plastic is mounted on said window frames with said hook-and-loop fastening portions engaged.
