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.

1 . 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 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 non-marring fastener secured to the roll assembly for releasably and removably securing the roll assembly to an edge of one of the upstanding walls, the non-marring fastener including a clamp member that engages with a pre-existing aperture in one of the walls proximal the edge; 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 non-marring fastener further comprises: 
 a fibrous laminar strap, the strap adapted to be inserted through the pre-existing aperture in the upstanding wall;    a buckle secured to an end of the strap, the buckle for securing the strap in engagement with the pre-existing aperture in the upstanding wall; and    a stabilizing member secured to the roll assembly and adapted to engage the edge of the wall and the strap when the strap is engaged in the aperture.    
   
   
       3 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the latch includes a non-marring fastener for releasably and removably securing the latch to an edge of the upstanding wall opposing that to which the roll assembly is secured, the non-marring fastener engaging a pre-existing aperture formed in the upstanding wall proximal the edge.  
   
   
       4 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
   
   
       5 . The screen assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the screen member is translucent.  
   
   
       6 . 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 including a clamp member that engages with a pre-existing aperture in one of the walls proximal the edge; and    a latch operably associated with the screen member, the latch including a clamp member that engages with a pre-existing aperture in one of the walls proximal the edge to selectively secure the screen member across the opening.    
   
   
       7 . The screen assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the upstanding walls are part of an open-office divider arrangement.  
   
   
       8 . The screen assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the non-marring fastener further comprises: 
 a fibrous laminar strap, the strap adapted to be inserted through the pre-existing aperture in the upstanding wall;    a buckle secured to an end of the strap, the buckle for securing the strap in engagement with the pre-existing aperture in the upstanding wall; and    a stabilizing member secured to the roll assembly and adapted to engage the edge of the wall and the strap when the strap is engaged in the aperture.    
   
   
       9 . The screen assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
   
   
       10 . The screen assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein the screen member is translucent.  
   
   
       11 . 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 including a flexible strap adapted to be engaged with a pre-existing aperture in the upstanding wall proximal its edge; and    a latch operably associated with the screen member, the latch including a clamp member that engages with a pre-existing aperture in one of the walls proximal the edge to selectively secure the screen member across the opening.    
   
   
       12 . The screen assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein the screen member is opaque.  
   
   
       13 . The screen assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein the screen member is translucent.  
   
   
       14 . The screen assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein the non-marring fastener further comprises: 
 a fibrous laminar strap, the strap adapted to be inserted through the pre-existing aperture in the upstanding wall;    a buckle secured to an end of the strap, the buckle for securing the strap in engagement with the pre-existing aperture in the upstanding wall; and    a stabilizing member secured to the roll assembly and adapted to engage the edge of the wall and the strap when the strap is engaged in the aperture.
