Motorized Retractable Screen System

A motorized retractable screen system comprising:

• a screen axle disposed adjacent a first end of a framed area that is configured to be rotated by a motor;
• at least one spool operatively connected to the screen axle such that the screen axle and the at least one spool are opereable to rotate together;
• a cable including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is at least partially wound around the at least one spool and wherein the cable is run through a series of pulleys between its first end and its second end, the series of pulleys including a first pulley system disposed adjacent the first end of the framed area and a second pulley system disposed adjacent the second end of the framed area;
• a screen including a first end operatively connected to the screen axle, a second end operatively connected to a bottom bar, a first side, and a second side;
• and
• a corner tensioning system including a tensioning arm having a first end configured to be operatively connected to a corner of the first side of the screen, a second end configured to be operatively connected to a first side of the bottom bar, and attachment means for operatively connecting to the second end of the cable;
• wherein, the screen axle is operable to be rotated in either a first direction or a second direction by the motor such that the cable is operable to pull the bottom bar at the second end of the screen between a deployed position and a retracted position while the corner tensioning system maintains downward and outward tension on the screen.
