WINDOW COVERING CONFIGURED TO BE MAGNETICALLY ATTACHED TO A WINDOW FRAME OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A window covering configured for attachment to a window frame to at least partially cover an opening defined in the window frame, the window covering comprising:
- a casing including a first member having a first outer member surface and a second member having a second outer member surface, wherein the second member extend in spaced relationship to the first member to define a hole between the first member and the second member;
wherein the first outer member surface of the first member defines a first channel and the second outer member surface of the second member defines a second channel, facing in a generally opposite direction from the first channel;
a panel operatively attached to each of the first member and the second member and covering the hole;
a first magnet and a second magnet;
wherein the first and second magnets each present an outer magnet surface;
wherein the first magnet is disposed in the first channel of the first member such that the outer magnet surface is generally coplanar with the first outer member surface; and
wherein the second magnet is disposed in the second channel of the second member such that the outer magnet surface is generally coplanar with the second outer member surface;
wherein the first and second magnets are configured to be magnetically attached to the window frame at the respective outer magnet surface;
wherein the panel extends about each of the first member and the second member and covers the first and second magnets such that the panel is disposed between each of the first and second magnets and the window frame when the covering is attached to the window frame; and
wherein each of the first magnet and the second magnet is configured to exert a pull force sufficient to retain the window covering to the window frame such that the casing of the window covering does not move relative to the window frame.

Abstract
A window covering is configured for attachment to a window frame of a vehicle to cover an opening defined in the window frame. The window covering includes a casing, a panel, a first magnet, and a second magnet. The casing includes a first member and a second member. The casing includes a ferromagnetic material. The panel is attached to first and second members and covers the hole. The first magnet and second magnet are magnetically attached to the respective first member and second member. The first and second magnets are configured to be magnetically attached to the window frame. The magnets are permanent magnets. Each magnet is configured to exert a pull force sufficient to retain the window covering to the window frame of the vehicle such that the casing of the window covering does not move relative to the window frame during motion of the vehicle.

16. A window covering configured for attachment to a window frame to at least partially cover an opening defined in the window frame, the window covering comprising:
-
a casing including a first member having an outer member surface and a second member extending in spaced relationship to the first member to define a hole therebetween; wherein the outer member surface of the first member defines a channel; a panel operatively attached to each of the first member and the second member and covering the hole; a magnet presenting an outer magnet surface; wherein the magnet is disposed in the channel of the first member such that the outer magnet surface of the magnet is generally coplanar with the outer member surface of the first member; wherein the magnet is configured to be magnetically attached to the window frame at the outer magnet surface; wherein the panel extends about each of the first member and the second member and covers the magnet such that the panel is disposed between the magnet and the window frame when the window covering is attached to the window frame; and wherein the magnet is configured to exert a pull force sufficient to retain the window covering to the window frame. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)

20. A window covering system comprising:
-
an attachment clip configured for attachment to a window frame, the attachment clip including a ferromagnetic material; and a window covering configured for attachment to the attachment clip to at least partially cover an opening defined in the window frame, the window covering including; a casing including a member having an outer member surface defining a channel; a panel operatively attached to the first member; a magnet presenting an outer magnet surface; wherein the magnet is disposed in the channel of the member such that the outer magnet surface of the magnet is generally coplanar with the outer member surface of the member; wherein the magnet is configured to be magnetically attached to the ferromagnetic material of the outer magnet surface when the attachment clip is attached to the window frame; wherein the panel extends about the member and covers the magnet such that the panel is configured to be disposed between the magnet and the ferromagnetic material of the attachment clip when the window covering is attached to the attachment clip; and wherein the magnet is configured to exert a pull force sufficient to retain the window covering to the attachment clip. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
