    Abstract: A screen for a projection system supported by a pair of cross members extending to the four corners of the screen where they receive a tensioning member disposed around the perimeter of the screen and held in stress by a tensioning mechanism secured to a portion of one of the cross members. The cross members may be secured in their "up" position by means of a restraining member and the screen may be tilted forward as permitted by one of several modes of support. The screen may be shaped with curvilinear edges preferably of a catenary configuration to increase tautness which is imparted thereto by the tensioning member.
