  • Patent number: 10920488
    Abstract: There is provided a screen device that is capable of preventing deformation such as loosening of a horizontally-sliding roll screen due to the weight of the screen. A guide member has a slit that allows a fastener-like member at an upper end of the screen to be slidably engaged therewith in a retained state. In a state in which a space, which allows bending in the vertical direction, is formed above the guide member, both end portions and of the guide member are fixed to an upper horizontal frame of a screen frame, flange portions of the guide member are positioned above protruding walls in the upper horizontal frame, and spring members that apply upward urging forces to the guide member are provided between the protruding walls and the flange portions. Thus, deformation of the screen due to the weight thereof is suppressed by using the guide member.

  • Patent number: 7984744
    Abstract: In a folding screen device pulled in the lateral direction, the widthwise dimension limit of the screen device in the opening and closing direction of the screen is eliminated. A plurality of screen units include movable vertical frame members attached to both ends of a screen expandable in an accordion manner. The vertical frame members are slidable along a lateral frame member of a building opening. Screen guides in the screen units move out and into the interior of the vertical frame member through upper and lower ends thereof in a bent state, and are led along upper and lower ends of the screen in an extended state. A parallel movement mechanism causes the vertical frame members to move in parallel during opening and closing of the screen. The screen units can be arranged in parallel in the building opening by connecting adjacent vertical frame members of the screen units.

  • Patent number: 7891398
    Abstract: A screen device includes an expandable and contractible folding screen connected to a side frame member and to a movable stile to be opened and closed, and a translation mechanism for the movable stile. The translation mechanism includes a single wire having three or more segments arranged in rows extending through the screen. The wire segments are redirected at an inlet to the movable stile, are guided along the length of the movable stile, are redirected in upper and lower areas of the movable stile, and are guided along the lateral frame members toward the opposite frame member, thereby the wire stretches between the movable stile and the opposite frame member the same number of times as the number of wire segments extending through the screen to absorb changes in the length of the wire segments extending through the screen in accordance with movement of the movable stile.

  • Patent number: 5456303
    Abstract: An openable and closeable screen door has a wire-netting screen that can be freely expanded and contracted and a mechanism to ensure that a handle bar moves smoothly without breaking the parallelism between its top and bottom end. The handle bar is attached to the leading end of the screen that can be pulled out from a screen case that constitutes one side of a doorframe. The handle bar is movable along upper and lower guide frames. The tail ends of a pair of strings are attached to the bottom end of the handle bar. The strings are extended and wrapped over deflectors disposed at the lower ends of the screen case handle bar stopper, deflectors disposed at their upper ends, and again over deflectors. The leading ends of the strings are fastened to the top end of the handle bar. All segments of the two strings thus extended run in the same direction, thereby markedly decreasing friction therebetween.
