Abstract:
A window system comprising:a plurality of side assemblies, each side assembly having a first flexible material frame member and a second flexible material frame member, the first and second flexible material frame members being coupled together along a seam;first and second magnetic material strips, each magnetic material strip having magnetic material aligned along a length of the magnet strip, the first magnet strip coupled to an interior wall of the first flexible material frame member, and the second magnet strip coupled on an opposite interior wall of the second flexible material frame member adapted so that the magnetic material of the first magnet strip attracts the magnetic material of the second magnet strip;a plurality of corner closure assemblies, each corner assembly adapted for joining a first adjacent side assembly and a second adjacent side assembly of the plurality of side assemblies and each corner closure assembly having a first flexible material corner member and a second flexible material corner member, the first and second flexible material corner members being coupled together along a seam, and having first and second magnetic material pieces, the first magnet piece coupled to an interior wall of the first flexible material corner member, and the second magnet piece coupled on an opposite interior wall of the second flexible material corner member adapted so that the first magnet piece attracts the second magnet piece;a window material removably clamped between the first and second magnet strips of each side assembly and between the first and second magnet pieces of each corner closure assembly; andfor each second flexible material corner member of a corner closure assembly, means for removably coupling the second flexible material corner member to the second flexible material frame member of the first adjacent side assembly and removably coupling the second flexible material corner member to the second flexible material frame member of the second adjacent side assembly.
