Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A rod assembly for use in forming a roller screen, said rod assembly comprising a first element having a pair of longitudinally extending, hollow chambers, a common wall separating said chambers, coupling members along the longitudinal edges of the wall means forming one of the hollow chambers, a finish element, said finish element having coupling members formed thereon cooperating with the coupling member along the longitudinal edges of said one of the hollow chambers, said finish element being detachably coupable to said edges of wall means of said one hollow chamber, the effective width of said finish element when coupled to the edges of the said wall means being less than the width of said one hollow chamber such that a pair of side-by-side air spaces are provided in each rod assembly.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
