Claim Text:
1. A screen adapted to be removably captured within receiving grooves that run along a perimeter of a door frame opening or window frame opening, the screen comprising: a resilient screen frame having a flexible spring-like characteristic, wherein the screen frame forms a plane, wherein the screen frame is capable of being distorted in a direction parallel to the plane of the screen frame, wherein the screen frame is capable of assuming a defined shape, substantially similar to a window or door frame opening and the screen frame is adapted to be at least partially concealed within receiving grooves of a door frame or window frame; a defined shape sized screen mesh secured to the screen frame, wherein the screen mesh keeps the screen frame in the defined shape under tension provided by the spring-like characteristic of the screen frame; where the screen frame is distorted from the defined shape when a force is applied against the screen frame, and where the screen frame and screen mesh retain the defined shape when the force is removed; and a door or window frame having receiving grooves located on the door or window frame such that the door or window may be in a closed position simultaneously with the screen being contained within the receiving grooves, wherein the receiving grooves are of a depth D such that the width W of the side members of the screen frame are substantially less than the depth D so that the screen frame does not obscure the line of sight through the door or window opening.
