Eachtubular member 331 is inserted into the first andsecond hinge rings second hinge rings packing members 82 are disposed respectively above and below the first andsecond hinge rings second link 32 to the correspondingfirst link 31, so that the first andsecond links hinge fastener 5 has ahead 51, and astem 52 having a screw thread. Thestem 52 of thehinge fastener 5 extends through one of thepacking members 82, thetubular member 331, and theother packing member 82, and engages threadedly ascrew hole 411 in atop end 41 of the corresponding upright post 4 (seeFIG. 5 ) so that thehinge unit 33 is secured on top of the correspondingupright post 4. - The
endmost connectors 312 are connected respectively to theoutermost ends 311′ of thefirst links 31, and are disposed respectively on top ends of two outer ones of theupright posts 4. Eachendmost connector 312 has aconnector body 3121 formed with athrough hole 314, and aretainer 5′. Theretainer 5′ is similar to eachhinge fastener 5 in construction, and has ahead 51′, and astem 52′ that has a screw thread and that extends through the throughhole 314 in theconnector body 3121 so as to engage threadedly ascrew hole 411 in the top end of the correspondingupright post 4 so that eachendmost connector 312 is secured on top of the correspondingupright post 4. Apacking member 82 is disposed between eachconnector body 3121 and thehead 51′ of thecorresponding retainer 5′, and anotherpacking member 82 is disposed between eachconnector body 3121 and the top end of the correspondingupright post 4. - Each of the
screen members 6 is disposed between two adjacent ones of theupright posts screen member 6 is made of a fabric material, but may also be made of any soft material that is non-transparent or that has different patterns formed thereon. Eachscreen member 6 has a top end provided with atop fastening unit 81 fastened to a corresponding one of the first andsecond links top folder 3, and a bottom end provided with a bottom fastening unit (not shown) fastened to a corresponding one of the first andsecond links bottom folder 3. The top andbottom fastening units 81 are Velcro (RTM) fasteners having a plurality of hooks and loops. Alternatively, thefastening units 81 may be male and female snap fasteners, or other suitable fasteners. - During assembly, after the
hinge units 33 and theendmost connectors 312 of the top andbottom folders 3 are fixed to the top and bottom ends of the correspondingupright posts 4, the top and bottom ends of two of thescreen members 6 are fastened to thefirst links 31 of the top andbottom folders 3, and the top and bottom ends of the remaining one of thescreen members 6 are fastened to thesecond links 32 of the top andbottom folders 3. To perform disassembly, thehinge units 33 and theendmost connectors 312 of the top andbottom folders 3 are separated from the top and bottom ends of the correspondingupright posts 4 by simply loosening and removing thehinge fasteners 5 and theretainers 5′ from the screw holes 411, 421 in the top and bottom ends of the corresponding upright posts 4. Hence, assembly and disassembly of thefolding screen 2 of the present invention are simple and easy. Further, since the top andbottom folders 3 are foldable, storage and transport of thefolding screen 2 are convenient. Moreover, by varying the patterns on thescreen members 6, the appearance of thefolding screen 2 can be enhanced. - To use the
folding screen 2 of the present invention, thefolding screen 2 is first supported on the ground through thehinge fasteners 5 and theretainers 5′ of thebottom folder 3, after which the user pulls outwardly the two outer ones of theupright posts 4 so as to pivot the first andsecond links bottom folders 3. Thefolding screen 2 can be totally unfolded to form a straight line, or partially unfolded, as shown inFIG. 3 . - It should be noted that the
packing members 82 provided in association with theendmost connectors 312 and thehinge units 33 serve to prevent direct contact between theendmost connectors 312 and the correspondingupright posts 4 and between thehinge units 33 and the corresponding upright posts 4. Theheads 51′, 51 of theretainers 5′ and thehinge fasteners 5 of thebottom folder 3 serve to support theupright posts 4 on the ground. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , the top end of eachscreen member 6 may be initially folded and sewn to form atop sleeve 61 for receiving the correspondingfirst link 31 or thesecond link 32 of thetop folder 3, and the bottom end of eachscreen member 6 maybe initially folded and sewn to form abottom sleeve 61 for receiving the correspondingfirst link 31 or thesecond link 32 of thebottom folder 3. Thus, during assembly, thefirst links 31 or thesecond links 32 of the top andbottom folders 3 are first inserted into the top andbottom sleeves 61 of thecorresponding screen member 6 prior to fastening of thehinge units 33 and theendmost connectors 312 by thehinge fasteners 5 and theretainers 5′ to the corresponding upright posts 4. - Referring to
FIGS. 8 and 9 , to reduce the number of components and to minimize the cost of thefolding screen 2, thetubular members 331 may be dispensed with, and thestem 52 of eachhinge fastener 5 may be partially threaded. Hence, when the first andsecond rings hinge unit 33 of the top andbottom folders 3 are intermeshed and are placed on the top or bottom end of the correspondingupright post 4, thestem 52 of eachhinge fastener 5 is inserted through the corresponding packingmember 82, the first andsecond rings member 82, and engages threadedly thescrew hole upright post 4, thereby securing eachhinge unit 33 on the top or bottom end of the correspondingupright post 4. - Referring to
FIGS. 10 and 11 , the second preferred embodiment of themodular folding screen 2 according to the present invention is shown to be similar to the first preferred embodiment. However, in this embodiment, thefolding screen 2 further comprises fourcoupling units 7 each having aflange portion 71, and two threadedshanks 72 extending outwardly and respectively from two opposite sides of theflange portion 71. Thesecoupling units 7 can permit the user to increase the height of thefolding screen 2 as desired/required. Each of theupright posts 4 has upper andlower sections coupling unit 7 interconnects detachably the upper andlower sections upright post 4 through engagement of the threadedshanks 72 of thecoupling unit 7 with the screw holes 421, 411 in the upper andlower sections upright post 4. Thus, thefolding screen 2 in this embodiment has a height higher than that in the first preferred embodiment. - An alternative method for increasing the height of the
folding screen 2 of the present invention is shown inFIG. 12 . Thefolding screen 2 is provided with anintermediate folder 3′ that is similar in construction to the top andbottom folders 3 of the first preferred embodiment and that interconnects detachably the upper andlower sections intermediate folder 3′ is similar to that of either the top orbottom folder 3 of the first preferred embodiment, a detailed description of the same is dispensed herewith for the sake of brevity. In this case, as shown inFIG. 13 , eachscreen member 6′ may be in the form of a plate, each of the first andsecond links bottom folders 3 may be provided with anelongate groove 317, and each of the first andsecond links 31′, 32′ of theintermediate folder 3′, may be provided with upper and lowerelongate grooves 317′. Eachscreen member 6′ is inserted into thecorresponding grooves first links second links intermediate folders - From the aforementioned descriptions, it is apparent that due to the configuration of the
folding screen 2 of the present invention, assembly and disassembly of thefolding screen 2 is quick and easy. Furthermore, through variations that can be made on the connections of thescreen members intermediate folders coupling units 7 with the upper andlower sections upright posts 4, thefolding screen 2 of the present invention can be assembled to form various structures. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
