Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to screens for projecting images onto and in particular, the present invention relates to portable screens that are easily opened for projection of images onto and closed for storage or transport.
- Screens are widely used in homes and in offices for displaying movies, television programs, computer displays or the like, from projectors.
- screen assemblies that are commonly used in both homes and in offices for housing such screens.
- Wall mounted screens are convenient as a wall provides a stable and flat surface on which to mount the screen.
- Ceiling mounted screens are also convenient as the screen is opened by extending the screen downwardly for use and the screen is closed by retracting the screen into a housing mounted to the ceiling.
- the ceiling mounted housing provides a convenient storage location that can be hidden from view. Both wall and ceiling mounted housings are inconvenient for movement of the screen to other locations. Such screens are not intended to be portable for movement throughout a house, an office, between offices, etc.
- Portable screen assemblies have found use as portability of screens is useful for changing venues in which the screen is used.
- One example of such a screen is the large screen on a tripod stand that has commonly been used for projecting, for example, slides from a slide projector.
- these screens found extensive use in the past, such screens are somewhat awkward to carry and to erect.
- a screen assembly that includes a first frame member, a second frame member and a spring biased roller rotatably mounted in one of the first frame member and the second frame member.
- a screen is fixed at one end to the spring biased roller and is fixed at a second end to an other of the first frame member and the second frame member.
- An extendable linkage assembly connects the first frame member to the second frame member.
- the extendable linkage assembly includes a first arm hingedly connected the first frame member, at a point offset from a center thereof, a second arm hingedly connected to the first arm and hingedly connected to the second frame member, proximal a center thereof, a third arm hingedly connected to the first frame member, at a point on an opposing side of center as the first arm and a fourth arm hingedly connected to the third arm and hingedly connected to the second frame member, proximal the center.
- the extendable linkage assembly also includes a first biasing member connected to the second arm and connected to the second frame member, at a point offset from the center and a second biasing member connected to the fourth arm and connected to the second frame member, at a point on an opposing side of the center as the first biasing member.
- the first and second frame members are positionable between a closed position in which the first and second frame members are adjacent each other and the screen is rolled on the spring biased roller, and an open position in which the first and second frame members are separated and the screen is at least partially unrolled from the spring biased roller.
- improved stability of the screen is realized through the use of the extendable linkage assembly.
- Tension is maintained across the screen as the extendable linkage assembly is biased to counter the bias of the spring biased roller.
- the spring biased roller is biased to roll the screen and move the frame members into the closed position.
- the extendable linkage is biased to counter the bias of the spring biased roller and maintain the frame members in an open position.
- the spring biased roller and the extendable linkage assembly reduce screen edge curling and provide a substantially flat projection surface.
- the width of the screen that is used can be adjusted as the separation of the two frame members is adjustable and therefore the screen assembly can be used even when the two frame members are not in the fully opened position. Improved screen stability and reduced screen edge curling is realized even when the frame members are not in the fully opened position.
- two arms are hingedly connected to each frame member for providing stability.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a screen assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, the screen assembly shown in an open position;
- Figure 2 is an alternative perspective view of the screen assembly of Figure 1 , the screen assembly shown in the open position;

- Pivot pins 78 extend outwardly from each of the shaped surfaces 70 of the two outermost semi-circular projections 66, approximately from the center of each semi-circular projection 66 of each foot.
- the pivot pins 78 are received in the apertures 62 of the bottom end cap 54 for hinged connection of each foot 52 in the bottom end cap 54.
- the semicircular projections 66 extend into the semi-circular slot 58 and the shaped surfaces 70 cooperate with the walls 60 for positioning the foot 52 in an open position and a closed position.
- each of the walls 60 abuts a respective forward inclined edge 75 of the shaped surface 70.
- each inclined edge 75 is forced against the edge of the respective wall 60 to move the side of the rib 72 into abutment with and adjacent the respective wall 60. It will be understood that this movement in each of the semicircular projections 66, and the interaction with the walls 60, causes the ends of the U-shaped body 64 to be urged together.
- each rib 72 is moved past the respective wall 60 and the rearward shoulder 76 abuts the edge of the wall 60. In this position, the ends of the U-shaped body 64 are no longer urged together and therefore they are returned to the separated position, as best shown in Figure 9A.
- each foot 52 extends outwardly from the bottom end cap 54 to stabilize the remainder of the screen assembly 20 in the upright position.
- the ends of the U-shaped body 64 are urged together as best shown in Figure 9B, and the foot 62 is moved to the closed position.
- the screen assembly 20 includes releasable locking mechanisms on each side thereof, to maintain the screen assembly 20 in the closed position during, for example, transporting.
- Each releasable locking mechanism includes a spring biased latch 80 on the first frame member 22 that cooperates with a respective catch 82 on the second frame member 24.
- each latch 80 is located approximately central to a respective side of the first frame member 22.
- each catch 82 is located approximately central to a respective side of the second frame member 24 such that each latch 80 is received in the respective catch 82 when the screen assembly 20 is in the closed position.
- the screen assembly 20 also includes a handle 84 fixed at either end, to the second frame member 24.
- the handle 84 is approximately centrally located along an end surface of the second frame member 24.
- the screen assembly 20 is set up by moving each of the feet to the open position as shown in Figure 6.
- each latch 80 is released from the respective catch 82 by urging each latch 80 inwardly toward the first frame member 22.
- the first and second frame members 22, 24 are separated, thereby unrolling the screen 28 in between.
- the first and second frame members 22, 24 are moved toward each other until each latch 80 is received in the respective catch 82.
- the screen 28 is rolled on the spring biased roller 26.
- the feet 52 are then moved into the closed position by urging the ends of the U-shaped body 64 together, thereby releasing the rearward shoulders 76 from abutment with the edges of the respective walls 60.
- the feet 52 are then pivoted into the respective recessed receptacles 56.
