First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A screen for an air intake portion of a machine, the screen comprising: an assembly of screen members that form a plurality of screen cells; wherein at least a portion of the screen cells define an irregular configuration. 2 . The screen of claim 1 , wherein the screen includes a barrier screen member that extends into a cavity of at least one of the screen cells. 3 . The screen of claim 2 , wherein the barrier screen member terminates at an open end, and wherein the open end does not touch any portion of the screen cells. 4 . The screen of claim 3 , wherein the barrier screen member extends orthogonal to a portion of the screen cells. 5 . The screen of claim 3 , wherein the barrier screen member extends oblique to a portion of the screen cells. 6 . The screen of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of screen cells include a staggered and alternating arrangement of a plurality of barrier screen members. 7 . The screen of claim 3 , wherein each of the screen cells define the irregular configuration. 8 . A screen for an air intake portion of a machine, the screen comprising: a modified mesh geometry of screen members that form a plurality of screen cells; and a barrier screen member that extends into a cavity of each of the screen cells. 9 . The screen of claim 8 , wherein each of the barrier screen members terminate at an open end, and wherein the open end of each of the barrier screen members do not touch any portion of the screen cells. 10 . The screen of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the barrier screen members extend orthogonal to a portion of the screen cells. 11 . The screen of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the barrier screen members extend oblique to a portion of the screen cells. 12 . The screen of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of screen cells include a staggered and alternating arrangement of barrier screen members. 13 . The screen of claim 9 , wherein each of the screen cells include a second barrier screen member that extends into the cavity of the screen cell and terminates at a second open end, and wherein the second open end of each of the second barrier screen members do not touch any portion of the screen cells. 14 . A method for forming a screen for an air intake portion of a machine, the method comprising: forming an assembly of screen members that form a plurality of screen cells; and eliminating a portion of screen within each of the screen cells. 15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein each of the screen cells having the portion of screen removed extend into a cavity of the screen cell and terminate at an open end, and wherein the open end of each of the screen cells having the portion of screen removed do not touch any portion of the screen cells.
