Abstract:
Presently, room screens or dividers are made for office cubicles; privacy
in medical facilities and one size fits all in decorating homes. The
current decorative tri-fold screens are not adjustable in size or
patterns. They are heavy, cumbersome and expensive. The consumer cannot
change the color if he/she decided to redecorate or move.
This new screen product is easily portable. It can be assembled and
disassembled by the consumer. It will not take up a lot of retail space
because it will be sold in a narrow box. The consumer can easily
transport it home.Claims:
1. I Nichola Elaine Dutre claim the invention of a decorative and
functional screen which is adjustable in height and width, easily
assembled and disassembled for convenient transport by one person,
changeable in color and pattern with curtain type fabrics in which the
frame of the screen is constructed with wood, metal and or vinyl.am
claiming small entity status due to being an individual inventorDescription:
[0001]This room divider has ten metal poles; two for each left and right
side, two for the top and bottom and two for the base. Each paired hollow
metal pole will have one slightly larger than the other so the smallest
of the pair can slide into the largest of the pair. There will be several
holes for screws, washers and nuts to hold the poles together. The holes
will allow the consumer to make size adjustments of 4 feet or 6 feet in
height and 2 feet, 3 feet or 4 feet in width.
[0002]The fifth pair of poles would be the base of the room divider to attach the three legs of the room divider. The legs of the room divider and the topper would vary in design to give the consumer options. The topper of the room divider is optional. The front and back of the screen are identical.
[0003]To assemble the room divider FIG. 1 shows the leg-poles will be fitted together to the desired width and secured by hardware (machine-screw, washer and wing-nut).
[0004]The top of the page on FIG. 2 demonstrates the three legs sliding onto the leg-pole. After the legs are slid on, the bottom of the page in FIG. 2 shows how the two side legs would be screwed into the leg-pole. The leg-pole will contain an internally attached long hex-nut to secure the machine-screw, which will hold the side legs to the leg-pole. FIG. 3 repeats the demonstration of the side leg attaching to the leg-pole from a side view. After the legs are attached vinyl caps will be placed on the ends of the leg poles. The center leg would not be screwed in but would be centered as a decorative balance.
[0005]In FIG. 4 the bottom-side-poles will be vertically pushed in to fit into the accommodating holes in the leg-pole. The bottom of the bottom-side poles will have a rubber cap and to prevent slippage from inside the leg-pole. The bottom-side poles will also have two symmetrical-grooves, which fit into corresponding holes and grooves in the leg-pole holes.
[0006]FIG. 5 the consumer will adjust the bottom-curtain-pole to the same desired width of the leg-pole. The adjusted size will be secured with hardware (machine screw, washer and nut). Vinyl caps will be placed on the ends of the bottom-curtain-pole.
[0007]In FIG. 6 the assembled bottom-curtain-pole is slid through the screen curtain bottom hem.
[0008]In FIG. 7 the bottom-curtain-pole is slid vertically down the bottom-side-poles carrying the attached curtain.
[0009]FIG. 8 shows the top-side-poles being placed vertically into the bottom-side-poles. The top-side-poles are secured to the desired height by hardware (machine screws, washer and wing nut).
[0010]In FIG. 9 the consumer will fit together the top-curtain pole to the matching width of the bottom-curtain-pole. The top-curtain pole would also be secured by hardware (machine screw, washer and nut).
[0011]For FIG. 10 the assembled top-curtain-pole will be slid into the screen curtain top hem.
[0012]FIG. 11 is a device of metal over a wooden cork-like top. The upper third of the device is wooden to accommodate the finals' screws. The lower two-thirds of the device is a long-tapered-metal tube with two symmetrical-grooves, which fit into corresponding holes and grooves in the top-curtain-pole and top-side-poles.
[0013]FIG. 12 shows that top-curtain-pole has a groove, which fits on the top-side-pole. The top-curtain-pole is secured onto the top-side-poles (left and right) by the wooden and metal device from FIG. 11. Finals are screwed into both sides of the top of device form FIG. 11 to embellish the now completely assembled decorative screen.
[0014]In FIG. 12 the decorative screen is completely assembled without the topper. The front and back of the screen will appear identical.
[0015]FIG. 13 is if the consumer uses the topper then the topper is placed on top of the top-curtain-pole and is secured with the final, which is screwed into the wooden and metal device in FIG. 11.
[0016]FIG. 14 is a side view of the assembled decorative screen with the topper before the final is screwed in to secure the topper.
[0017]In FIG. 15 the decorative screen shows completely assembled with the topper. The front and back of the decorative screen will appear the same.
