Corrosion resistant screen frame assembly

摘要

A screen enclosure frame element structured to resist fluid from contacting the anchor is presented. Particularly, the frame element comprises an anchor channel disposed within an interior portion of the frame element between a head surface and a support side; the anchor channel being dimensioned to receive an anchor there through and into an engaging relation with the base. Further, the frame element of at least one embodiment includes at least one anchor retention assembly which at least partially defines the anchor channel. The retention assembly comprises a support wall connected to or a part of an inner side of the head surface at one end, and disposable in a fluid restricting relation with the support base at the other end. Other embodiments include a cap with a curvilinear surface configuration and/or a plurality of support ledges with corrugates surfaces disposed in a fluid restricting relation with the base.

主权项

1. A screen frame assembly, comprising:
a frame element comprising a substantially planar head surface and an oppositely disposed at least partially open support side, the frame element configured to retain a screen, at least one anchor retention assembly at least partially defining an anchor channel disposed within an interior portion of said frame element between said head surface and said support side, said anchor channel being dimensioned to receive an anchor there through and into an engaging relation with a substantially planar support base, the support base being a separate structure upon which said frame element is mounted, and wherein said anchor retention assembly comprises at least one support wall extending in a perpendicular relation from an inner side of said head surface to said at least partially open support side, said at least one support wall comprising a first end and a second end, said first end of said support wall being connected to said inner side of said head surface and said second end of said support wall being disposable in a direct engaging relation with an outer surface of the support base.
