Abstract
A filter screen assembly for use with an air intake structure, the structure including a face within which is formed an air intake opening. The filter screen assembly includes a screen having a flexible mesh material and an outer perimeter edge. The perimeter edge is secured at specified locations to the face of the air intake structure, by a plurality of fastener components each including a fixed portion and an actuating portion, in order to filter out contaminants associated with an air stream entering the intake structure and to prevent the screen from being drawn into the air intake opening. Alternatively, at least one elongated track may be secured to a face of the intake structure proximate the intake opening and, in use with a plurality of traversably secured trolley hooks, operates to advance the screen in a given fashion across the intake opening.
