First Claim
1. A window frame comprising:
- a support member arranged to form a supporting structure, wherein said support member includes at least first, second and third structural members, wherein each of said structural members have substantially identically-shaped configurations, wherein each of said structural members have a substantially U-shaped channel defined by a base portion having a first arm and a second arm spaced apart on opposite lengthwise sides of said base portion, wherein said first and second arms extend from said base portion, and wherein said first and second arms have end portions, said end portions being turned inward and extending in a direction toward said base portion; and
a plurality of fasteners adapted for detachably securing said structural members in a configuration adapted to detachably mount a translucent barrier within said supporting structure formed by said structural member such that said first arm of said first structural member is adjacent at least a portion of one of said first end portion and said second end portion of said second structural member, and said second arm of said first structural member is adjacent at least a portion of said base portion of said third structural member.

Abstract
The present invention is a window frame wherein all of the structural members are formed with the same substantially identically-shaped configuration a metal extrusion. A plurality of structural members are arranged to form a supporting structure. Each structural member has a U-shaped channel defined by a base portion having a first arm and a second arm spaced apart on opposite lengthwise sides of said base portion. The first and second arms extending from said base portion have end portions turned inward and extending in a direction toward said base portion. Fasteners detachably secure the plurality of structural members into a configuration adapted to detachably mount a translucent barrier within the supporting structure formed by the structural members.
