Office cubicle door

Abstract

A screen assembly for partially obstructing a doorway or opening in an office cubicle comprises a screen member formed of flexible laminar material. A spring-loaded roll assembly retractably stores the screen member in a rolled fashion about its vertical axis. At least one adjustable clamp is secured to the roll assembly for releasably securing the roll assembly to the vertically extending edge of one of the upstanding walls of the office cubicle. A latch is operably associated with the screen member for selectively securing the screen member across the opening.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A screen assembly for partially obstructing an opening between opposing, vertically extending edges of at least a pair of upstanding walls of an open-office divider arrangement, the screen assembly comprising: 
 a screen member formed of flexible laminar material and having an at least partially rigid frame member at least partially coextensive with an edge of the screen member;    a roll assembly for retractably storing the screen member in a rolled fashion about a vertical axis of the roll assembly;    at least one adjustable clamp secured to the roll assembly for releasably securing the roll assembly to the edge of one of the upstanding walls; and    a latch operably associated with the screen member and frame member, the latch for selectively securing the screen member across the opening.    
     
     
         2 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the adjustable clamp further comprises a pair of adjustable clamps, each of the adjustable clamps disposed proximate an end of the roll assembly.  
     
     
         3 . The screen assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein each adjustable clamp is a c-clamp that includes a each having a retaining screw associated with it, wherein the c-clamp can be adjusted by means of the retaining screw to secure the roll assembly to the edge of the upstanding wall.  
     
     
         4 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the latch is a hook member for registry with a corresponding loop releasably secured to the vertically extending edge of the upstanding wall opposing that to which the roll assembly is secured.  
     
     
         5 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the latch includes a c-clamp with a retaining screw.  
     
     
         6 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
     
     
         7 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the screen member is translucent.  
     
     
         8 . A screen assembly for partially obstructing an opening between opposing, vertically extending edges of at least a pair of upstanding walls, the screen assembly comprising: 
 a screen member formed of flexible laminar material;    a roll assembly for retractably storing the screen member in a rolled fashion about a vertical axis of the roll assembly;    at least one adjustable c-clamp secured to the roll assembly for removably securing the roll assembly to the vertically extending edge of one of the upstanding walls; and    a latch operably associated with the screen member and removably secured by an adjustable latch c-clamp to the vertically extending edge of the upstanding wall opposite the edge to which the roll assembly is secured, the latch for selectively securing the screen member across the opening.    
     
     
         9 . The screen assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the upstanding walls are part of an open-office divider arrangement.  
     
     
         10 . The screen assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the latch is a hook member for registry with a corresponding loop secured by the adjustable latch c-clamp to the vertically extending edge of the upstanding wall.  
     
     
         11 . The screen assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
     
     
         12 . The screen assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the screen member is translucent.  
     
     
         13 . A screen assembly for partially obstructing an opening between opposing, vertically extending edges of at least a pair of upstanding walls of an open-office divider arrangement, the screen assembly comprising: 
 a screen member formed of flexible laminar material;    a roll assembly for retractably storing the screen member in a rolled fashion within the roll assembly;    at least one adjustable c-clamp, the c-clamp including a retaining screw, secured to the roll assembly for removably securing the roll assembly to the edge of one of the upstanding walls;    a hook member operably associated with the screen member; and    a loop member removably secured by an adjustable latch c-clamp to the edge of the upstanding wall opposite the edge to which the roll assembly is secured, the loop for selectively receiving the hook member to secure the screen member across the opening.    
     
     
         14 . The screen assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
     
     
         15 . The screen assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein the screen member is translucent.
