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 non-marring fastener 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.

       7 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
   
   
       8 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the screen member is translucent.  
   
   
       9 . 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 non-marring fastener secured to the roll assembly for releasably and removably securing the roll assembly to the vertically extending edge of one of the upstanding walls, the non-marring fastener adapted to secure the roll assembly to the wall and maintain the roll assembly in a selected position, both horizontally and vertically, on the wall; and    a latch operably associated with the screen member and removably and releasably secured by a non-marring fastener 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, the non-marring fastener adapted to secure the latch to the wall and maintain the latch in a selected position, both horizontally and vertically, on the wall.    
   
   
       10 . The screen assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the upstanding walls are part of an open-office divider arrangement.  
   
   
       11 . The screen assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the non-marring fastener is hook-and-loop material securing the roll assembly and the latch to the respective edges of the upstanding walls.  
   
   
       12 . The screen assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the latch is a hook member for registry with a corresponding loop secured by the non-marring fastener to the vertically extending edge of the upstanding wall.  
   
   
       13 . The screen assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
   
   
       14 . The screen assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein the screen member is translucent.  
   
   
       15 . The screen assembly according to  claim 9 , wherein each non-marring fastener is a c-clamp, 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.  
   
   
       16 . A screen assembly for partially obstructing an opening between opposing, vertically extending edges of at least a pair of generally laminar, vertically 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 non-marring fastener secured to the roll assembly for removably securing the roll assembly to the edge of one of the upstanding walls, the non-marring fastener adapted to secure the roll assembly to the wall and maintain the roll assembly in a selected position, both horizontally and vertically, on the wall;    a hook member operably associated with the screen member; and    a loop member removably secured by a non-marring fastener 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, the non-marring fastener adapted to secure the hook member to the wall and maintain the hook member in a selected position, both horizontally and vertically, on the wall.
