Abstract
Bead strings comprising beads connected by means of threadlike cords are provided on both edges of a screen member attached to a roller sleeve of the roller screen unit, and are engaged slidably with guide grooves of a pair of guide groove members arranged on both sides of the screen member. The beads have an aperture through the center thereof, with a string disposed in the apertures. A space portion of the string between each of the beads is attached to the screen member by sewing. This permits very smooth operation of drawing/expanding and winding/housing of the screen member, and facilitates more efficient design and manufacture of the unit.
