Abstract
A screen mountable on a chairback of a chair can include a primary panel, a vertical strap, and a brace assembly. The primary panel can have a front and back sides, extend between first and second lateral edges and between top and bottom vertical edges. The vertical strap can be fixed to the front side at first and second ends and extend around the chairback. The vertical strap can be formed to elastically stretch around the chairback. The brace assembly can be fixed to the front side to urge the top vertical edge forward. A second end of the brace assembly can be selectively engageable with the front side at a second position above the first position. The second end can be engaged with the front side in operation and disengaged from the front side when not in operation.
Claims18
A screen mountable on a chairback of a chair comprising:
- a primary panel having a front side and a back side, said primary panel extending laterally between first and second lateral edges, said primary panel extending vertically between top and bottom edges, said front side operable to confront and contact a back side of the chairback in operation, said primary panel sized to extend beyond at least part of a perimeter of the chairback in operation;
- a horizontal strap fixed to said front side at first and second ends, said horizontal strap configured to extend laterally around a front side of the chairback in operation whereby the chairback is positioned between said horizontal strap and said primary panel in operation, said horizontal strap formed from elastic material whereby said horizontal strap is configured to elastically stretch around the chairback in operation;
- a brace assembly fixed to said front side at a first brace end and extending to a second brace end, said first brace end of said brace assembly fixed to said front side at a first position closer to said bottom edge than at least part of said horizontal strap, said brace assembly configured to confront and contact the back side of the chairback in operation to urge said top edge forward, said second brace end selectively engageable with said front side at a second position spaced closer to said bottom edge than at least part of said horizontal strap, said second brace end is capable of being engaged with said front side in operation and is capable of being disengaged from said front side when not in operation;
- and
- wherein said brace assembly is configured to lay flat on said primary panel when not in operation, said brace assembly defines a length when lying flat, and said length is less than one-half a distance between said top edge and said bottom edge.

- a brace assembly fixed to said front side at a first brace end and extending to a second brace end, said first brace end of said brace assembly fixed to said front side at a first position closer to said bottom edge than at least part of said horizontal strap, said brace assembly configured to confront and contact the back side of the chairback in operation to urge said top edge forward, said second brace end selectively engageable with said front side at a second position spaced closer to said bottom edge than at least part of said horizontal strap, said second brace end is capable of being engaged with said front side in operation and is capable of being disengaged from said front side when not in operation;
- and
- wherein said brace assembly further comprises:
- a plurality of panels pivotally interconnected to one another.
