Abstract
A retractable material enclosure system that can be custom fit to provide a secondary barrier within an opening that is unobtrusive when not in use. The retractable material enclosure system may be used with different types of materials that are capable of being rolled about and retained on a cylinder or other drum type member when they are not extracted and in use. The retractable material enclosure system is particularly useful for providing a custom fit retractable screen door that fits within single or double door opening.
Claims20
A retractable material enclosure system comprising:
- an encasement a drum member contained within the encasement for retaining a retractable material;
- a retractor spring contained within the drum member;
- a spring spline having one end in an interference fit with the retractor spring and another end in a clearance spline fit within an inside of the drum member;
- an encasement spring cap in an interference fit with an end of the encasement for retaining the drum member within the encasement;
- an extractor member having a magnet cavity, a material bar cavity, and an opening in communication with the material bar cavity;
- a material bar contained within the material bar cavity of the extractor member;
- a first magnet contained within the magnet cavity of the extractor member;
- a material having a first end connected to the drum member and a second opposite end connected to the material bar such that the material passes through the opening in the extractor member and is capable of being rolled about the drum member;
- a receiver member having a magnet cavity;
- and
- a second receiver magnet contained within the magnet cavity of the receiver member.

- a first retractor spring contained within the first drum member;
- a first spring spline having one end in an interference fit with the first retractor spring and another end in a clearance spline fit within an inside of the first drum member;
- a first encasement spring cap in an interference fit with an end of the first encasement and a first encasement cap in an interference fit with an opposite end of the first encasement for retaining the first drum member within the first encasement;
- a first extractor member having a magnet cavity, a material bar cavity, and an opening in communication with the material bar cavity;
- a first material bar contained within the material bar cavity of the first extractor member;
- a first magnet contained within the magnet cavity of the first extractor member;
- a first material having a first end connected to the first drum member and a second opposite end connected to the first material bar such that the first material passes through the opening in the first extractor member and is capable of being rolled about the first drum member;
- a second encasement;
- a second drum member contained within the second encasement for retaining a second retractable material;
- a second retractor spring contained within the second drum member;
- a second spring spline having one end in an interference fit with the second retractor spring and another end in a clearance spline fit within an inside of the second drum member;
- a second encasement spring cap in an interference fit with an end of the second encasement and a second encasement cap in an interference fit with an opposite end of the second encasement for retaining the second drum member within the second encasement;
- a second extractor member having a magnet cavity, a material bar cavity, and an opening in communication with the material bar cavity;
- a second material bar contained within the material bar cavity of the second extractor member;
- a second magnet contained within the magnet cavity of the second extractor member;
- a second material having a first end connected to the second drum member and a second opposite end connected to the second material bar such that the second material passes through the opening in the second extractor member and is capable of being rolled about the second drum member;
- a first top guide member in horizontal alignment with a second top guide member wherein the first and second top guide members are connected by a top receiver so that the first extractor member can be guided from the first encasement to the top receiver and the second extractor member can be guided from the second encasement to the top receiver so that the first and second magnets can adhere to one another;
- and
- a first bottom guide member in horizontal alignment with a second bottom guide member wherein the first and second bottom guide members are connected by a bottom receiver so that the first extractor member can be guided from the first encasement to the bottom receiver and the second extractor member can be guided from the second encasement to the bottom receiver so that the first and second magnets can adhere to one another.
