| Abstract: |
The present invention 10 discloses a louvered window insert comprising two louvered frame sections 39, 50 each having one vertical member 44, 60 with an upper and lower horizontal member 40, 42, 56, 58 extending from each end thereof and a plurality of louver blades 46, 52 extending horizontally therebetween. The distal ends of the horizontal members and louver blades of the first section have recesses 48, 54 to receive and slidably secure the horizontal members 56, 58 and louver blades 52 of the second section as they travel therethrough allowing a user to size the insert to a window 12 simply by placing the fully overlapped assembly inside an open window 12 and separating the two frame sections 39, 50 thereby reducing the overlap of the horizontal members and the louvers and effectively elongating the insert until the two vertical members 44, 60 are flush to their respective side jambs and then lowering the window 12 until it sits atop the present invention. An additional embodiment is provided wherein the louver blades 46, 52 are generally flat with blade 46 having curved edges for receiving blade 52. An additional embodiment disclosed a storm window frame adapter 70 along with a storm window track adapter 72. Also, a tensioning means 88 is provided for securing the upper and lower horizontal frame members to each other.

I claim:
1. An apparatus for a telescoping louvered window insert, comprising:
- a) a first frame member having an upper horizontal frame member, a lower horizontal frame member, and a vertical frame member, said vertical frame member connecting a first end of said upper and lower horizontal frame members;
- b) said first frame member having a cavity therein;
- c) a second frame member having an upper horizontal frame member, a lower horizontal frame member, and a vertical frame member, said vertical frame member connecting a first end of said upper and lower horizontal frame members;
- d) said second frame member having a cavity therein;
- e) said second end of said upper and lower horizontal first frame members slidably receiving a second end of said upper and lower horizontal second frame members, a rectangular frame being thereby formed;
- f) a plurality of first arcuate louver blades disposed within said rectangular frame, said plurality of first louver blades having means for attachment to said vertical first frame member, said plurality of blades disposed parallel to said upper and lower horizontal first frame members;
- g) said first arcuate louvered blade having a cavity therein;
- h) a plurality of second arcuate louver blades disposed within said rectangular frame, said plurality of first louver blades having means for attachment to said vertical second frame member, said plurality of blades disposed parallel to said upper and lower horizontal second frame members; and,
- i) said second arcuate louver blades slidably disposed internally of said first arcuate louver blades.
