Claim:
A window film anchoring device ( 10 ) comprising; a body ( 12 ) further comprising; at least one film retaining limb ( 100 ) having at least one film retaining limb working surface ( 105 ) and a film retaining limb adhesive means ( 110 ) on at least a portion of the at least one film retaining limb working surface ( 105 ); at least one frame retaining limb ( 200 ) having at least one frame retaining limb working surface ( 205 ) and a frame retaining limb adhesive means ( 210 ) on a portion of the at least one frame retaining limb working surface ( 205 ); at least one central area ( 300 ) having at least a central area working surface ( 305 ), the at least one central area ( 300 ) disposed between the at least one film retaining limb ( 100 ) and the at least one frame retaining limb ( 200 ); at least one anchor limb ( 400 ) confluent with the central area working surface ( 305 ), the at least one anchor limb ( 400 ) having at least one first anchor ridge ( 410 ) having a first anchor ridge axis ( 416 ) and a first anchor ridge first side ( 412 ) and a generally opposing first anchor ridge second side ( 414 ), wherein the first anchor ridge first side ( 412 ) has at least one window barb ( 420 ), the at least one first anchor ridge ( 410 ) further comprising at least one first anchor barb ( 440 ) capable of releasable engagement with at least one portion of a window frame (WF); wherein the at least one window barb ( 420 ) has a first window barb axis ( 426 ) that is non-orthogonal to the first anchor ridge axis ( 416 ) thereby forming a window barb proximal base angle ( 422 ) and a window barb distal base angle ( 424 ) and the window barb proximal base angle ( 422 ) is an acute angle and the window barb distal base angle ( 424 ) is an obtuse angle; and wherein the at least one film retaining limb ( 100 ), the at least one frame retaining limb ( 200 ), and the at least one central area ( 300 ) all lie along a common plane.
