Automatic tensioning side track assembly for an operable screen

1 . An automatic tensioning side track assembly for maintaining a retractable screen of a retractable screen enclosure assembly at a desired tensioned state, said automatic tensioning side track assembly comprising:

a base track having a first side and a second side opposed therefrom;

a screen receiver being adjustably positioned within said base track and configured to reciprocate between said first side and said second side;

a first magnet being engaged with said screen receiver; and

a second magnet being engaged with said base track and positioned proximate to said second side;

wherein said first magnet and said second magnet are configured to automatically repel each other such that said first magnet is displaced away from said second magnet after said first magnet reaches a threshold position proximate to said second magnet;

wherein a repelling magnetic force between said first magnet and said second magnet is configured to increase as said first magnet moves towards said second magnet;

wherein said first magnet and said screen receiver are located proximately to said first side of said base track, wherein said second magnet is located distally to said first side of said base track;

wherein said second magnet is configured to physically block said first magnet from passing beyond said second magnet as said screen receiver moves away from said first side of said base track and towards said second side of said base track.

2 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 1 , wherein said first magnet is configured to be dynamic relative to a stationary position of said second magnet.

3 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a screen being passed through said second side of said base track and further being attached to said screen receiver.

4 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 3 , wherein said screen is configured to lose tension and bow as said first magnet is displaced towards said second magnet; wherein said screen is configured to gain tension and straighten as said first magnet is displaced away from said second magnet.

5 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 1 , wherein said second magnet is stationary relative to said base track and relative to said screen receiver; wherein said second magnet is stationary relative to said first magnet.

6 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 1 , wherein said first magnet is configured to selectively reciprocate along a bi-directional travel path between said first side of said base track and said second magnet.

7 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 1 , wherein said screen receiver is configured to remain within said base track and further configured to be prohibited from exiting said base track while said first magnet travels towards and away from said second magnet.

8 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 1 , wherein said screen receiver comprises: a first magnet channel statically affixed thereto, said first magnet being entirely seated within said first magnet channel, said first magnet channel having a continuous outer wall being extended about an entire perimeter of said first magnet.

9 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 1 , wherein said base track comprises: a second magnet channel statically affixed thereto, said second magnet being entirely seated within said second magnet channel, said second magnet channel having a continuous outer wall being extended about an entire perimeter of said second magnet.

10 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 9 , wherein said second magnet channel is located proximate to said second side of said base track, said second magnet channel being configured to prohibit said first magnet channel from reaching said second side of said base track.

11 . An automatic tensioning side track assembly for maintaining a retractable screen of a retractable screen enclosure assembly at a desired tensioned state, said automatic tensioning side track assembly comprising:

a base track having a first side and a second side opposed therefrom;

a screen receiver being adjustably positioned within said base track and configured to reciprocate between said first side and said second side;

a first magnet being engaged with said screen receiver; and

a second magnet being engaged with said base track and positioned proximate to said second side;

wherein said first magnet and said second magnet are configured to automatically repel each other such that said first magnet is displaced away from said second magnet after said first magnet reaches a threshold position proximate to said second magnet;

wherein a repelling magnetic force between said first magnet and said second magnet is configured to increase as said first magnet moves towards said second magnet;

wherein said base track is stationary and said screen receiver is dynamic relative to said base track;

wherein said first magnet and said second magnet are linearly aligned parallel to a bi-directional travel path and located proximate to an inner longitudinal wall of said base track and laterally offset from a center of said base track.

12 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 11 , wherein said first magnet is configured to be dynamic relative to a stationary position of said second magnet.

13 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 11 , further comprising:

a screen being passed through said second side of said base track and further being attached to said screen receiver.

14 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 13 , wherein said screen is configured to lose tension and bow as said first magnet is displaced towards said second magnet; wherein said screen is configured to gain tension and straighten as said first magnet is displaced away from said second magnet.

15 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 11 , wherein said second magnet is stationary relative to said base track and relative to said screen receiver; wherein said second magnet is stationary relative to said first magnet.

16 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 11 , wherein said first magnet is configured to selectively reciprocate along said bi-directional travel path between said first side of said base track and said second magnet.

17 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 11 , wherein said screen receiver is configured to remain within said base track and further configured to be prohibited from exiting said base track while said first magnet travels towards and away from said second magnet.

18 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 11 , wherein said screen receiver comprises: a first magnet channel statically affixed thereto, said first magnet being entirely seated within said first magnet channel, said first magnet channel having a continuous outer wall being extended about an entire perimeter of said first magnet.

19 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 18 , wherein said base track comprises: a second magnet channel statically affixed thereto, said second magnet being entirely seated within said second magnet channel, said second magnet channel having a continuous outer wall being extended about an entire perimeter of said second magnet.

20 . The automatic tensioning side track assembly of claim 19 , wherein said second magnet channel is located proximate to said second side of said base track, said second magnet channel being configured to prohibit said first magnet channel from reaching said second side of said base track.
