Abstract
A screen door entry system particularly useful for camper accessory screen enclosures is shown which is conveniently foldable for transporting and stowing when not in use. The entry system includes adjustable elements to engage with a camper canopy roller bar having different pitch angles for desired drainage, a door which is convertible between a single door and a Dutch door type, and anchor elements which are adapted to anchor the entry system at a selected location. The entry system in its folded condition is receivable in a carrying case for safe transporting and stowing.

A permanently interconnected, foldable screen door entry system for use with camper attached canopy screen enclosures comprising:
- closure side upper and lower vertical door frame supports having respective upper and lower distal portions,
- hinge side upper and lower vertical door frame supports having respective upper and lower distal portions,
- hinge means respectively coupling the lower distal portion of the upper and the upper distal portion of the lower closure and hinge side supports together so that the upper supports can be folded from an extended position to a folded position onto the lower supports,
- locking means to lock the upper and lower supports in the extended position,
- an upper door frame stabilizer element fixedly interconnected with the upper distal portions of the upper supports,
- a lower door frame stabilizer element fixedly interconnected with the lower distal portions of the lower supports,
- an upper door section hingedly connected to the hinge side upper vertical door frame support,
- a lower door section hingedly connected to the hinge side lower vertical door frame support,
- means to selectively lock the upper door section to the lower door section, and
- means to detachably interconnect the door entry system to adjacent portions of a screen enclosure in which an opening is defined for reception of a door system, whereby the door entry system, when the upper and lower supports are not locked by the locking means and the upper and the lower door sections are not locked together, can be folded about the hinge means as a self contained system including the door frame supports, stabilizer elements and door sections.
