Dual action retractable screen to be mounted to a curb inlet

Abstract

A dual action retractable screen includes a first screen portion with a first screen portion perforated surface connected to the hinge mount via a horizontal hinge, which allows the first screen portion to rotate within a substantially horizontal plane. The screen also has a second screen portion with a second screen portion perforated surface and a latch pin. A vertical hinge connects the first screen portion to the second screen portion and allows the second screen portion to rotate within a substantially vertical plane. The screen also includes a latch mount that connects to the curb inlet and has a latch saddle that receives the latch pin. The screen operates in two modes: (1) a closed mode where the latch pin is disposed of in the latch saddle, inhibiting rotation about the horizontal hinge; and (2) an open mode where the latch pin is dislodged from the latch saddle, permitting rotation about the horizontal hinge and about the vertical hinge.
