Patent number: 10822868Abstract: This electric screen device is provided with an electric motor that causes slidable screen mounting frame part(s) to automatically slide. Torque generated by rotation of a rotation shaft of the electric motor is transmitted to a tension member that is provided inside the screen mounting frame parts, that connects screen guiding frame parts to each other at free ends thereof, and that forms a loop. The tension member moves in a state of being hung around the folded portions which apply tension to the tension member. The slidable screen mounting frame part(s) automatically slide in association with movement of the tension member. Thus, the screen automatically opens and closes.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2016Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: METACO, INC.Inventors: Yasubumi Okachi, Yuichiro Nishioka, Kazumasa Noda
