  • Publication number: 20220100071
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention provides a system for dynamically repositioning a portion of a screen. The system includes: at least one knife moveable between a first position and a second position; a hook moveable between an open position in which the hook is disengaged from the at least one knife and a closed position in which the hook is removably engaged with the at least one knife; a node located on a back surface of the screen; and a linkage between the node and a distal end of the hook. When the hook is in the closed position and the at least one knife is moved from the first position to the second position, the linkage pulls the node causing the portion of the screen centered around the node to be moved distally away from a remaining portion of the screen.
