FLEXIBLE SCREEN DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM
A display system, a display process, and an engagement device are disclosed. The display system includes a first display arrangement and a second display arrangement in close proximity to the first flexible display arrangement. The first display arrangement and the second display arrangement are simultaneously deployable between an extended position and a retracted position.
1 . A display system, comprising:
a first flexible display arrangement deployable between an extended position and a retracted position; and
a second flexible display arrangement in close proximity to the first flexible display arrangement, the second flexible display arrangement deployable between an extended position and a retracted position;
wherein the first flexible display arrangement and the second flexible display arrangement are simultaneously deployable between the extended position and the retracted position.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first flexible display arrangement and the second flexible display arrangement are selectably engaged by an engagement device when the first flexible display arrangement and the second flexible display arrangement are located in at least a partially extended position.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the engagement device includes at least one magnet.
4 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one magnet is an electromagnet.
5 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the engagement device is a mechanical device.
6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a first collection container to receive at least a first flexible display arrangement when the at least first flexible display arrangement is deployed toward the retracted position.
7 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a first collection container to receive the first flexible display arrangement when the first flexible display arrangement is deployed toward the retracted position, and a second collection container to receive a second flexible display arrangement when the second flexible display arrangement is deployed toward the retracted position.
8 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the first collection container and the second collection container are interconnected.
9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the first collection container and the second collection container are interconnected in a staggered arrangement.
10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the first collection container and the second collection container each include an alignment device.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein at least a portion of the alignment device of the second collection container is usable with the alignment device of the first collection container.
12 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the first collection container and the second collection container each include a collection device.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the collection device is gravity fed.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the collection device includes a plurality of dividers.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of dividers are selectably movable.
16 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the collection device rotatably collects the display arrangement.
17 . The system of claim 15 , further comprises a separator having a separator material providing a spacing between at least a portion of the rotatably collected display arrangement.
18 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the collection device includes an oscillating guide that alternately arranges substantially horizontally disposed portions of the collected display arrangement inside the collection device.
19 . A method for deployment of the display system, comprising:
providing a first flexible display arrangement deployable between an extended position and a retracted position, a second flexible display arrangement in close proximity to the first flexible display arrangement, the second flexible display arrangement deployable between an extended position and a retracted position;
simultaneously deploying the first flexible display arrangement and the second flexible display arrangement between the extended position and the retracted position.
20 . An engagement device configured to selectably engage a first flexible display arrangement to a second flexible display arrangement, the engagement device comprising:
an engagement feature capable of adjusting a relative position of the first flexible display arrangement in comparison to the second flexible display arrangement, thereby permitting simultaneous deployment of the first flexible display arrangement and the second flexible display arrangement between an extended position and a retracted position.
