Abstract:

A transparent temporary replacement window that can be conveniently and easily attached to cover the opening that is left when there is a broken window. The material consists of clear Acetate film that can be cut to size to fit over the opening of a broken vehicle window. Either a side window or rear window can be covered by the temporary window. Magnetic tape will be used to attach the film to the frame.the present Invention relates to a temporary window that can be used to cover the opening left when there is a missing window. To be specific, a sheet of flexible film will be cut to size then attached to the frame by magnetic tape. The magnetic tape will allow easy removal, with no damage to the vehicle's paint. The original idea derived from my experience with a broken rear window. I had no means to purchase another glass window at the time, so I covered the opening with cardboard. I have seen many other individuals resort to various methods, such as, being exposed to the elements. The film that is used to cover the opening needs to be transparent for the desired visibility during driving otherwise their driving will be impaired. If the film does not fit properly, either loose or incorrect thickness, there could be an additional risk to the driver. The Insta-Window can be cut to size and will fit properly and secure, due to the use of magnetic tape. Because of the formally mentioned problems that could occur, the need for an inexpensive yet functionally sound temporary window system should be made available. The present invention meets the need to provide a temporary window.
