Abstract

Disclosed herein is a rolling screen assembly. The rolling screen assembly may include a frame, a screen assembly mounted to the frame, a wheel assembly mounted to the frame, and a foot affixed to the frame, where wheels of the wheel assembly are height adjustable relative to the frame to allow the foot to be raised from, and lowered onto, a support surface. Such assembly may facilitate replacement of a rolling screen assembly with minimal downtime.

Claims (10)

1. A rolling screen system comprising:

two rolling screen assemblies, the two rolling screen assemblies each comprising a frame; a screen assembly mounted to the frame; at least one wheel assembly mounted to the frame, the wheel assembly comprising one or more wheels and a wheel adjustment mechanism; and at least one foot affixed to the frame; wherein, the wheels are height adjustable relative to the frame to allow the foot to be raised from and lowered onto a support surface;

a set of rails upon which the rolling screen assemblies traverse; and

a support surface adjacent an operating position;

wherein a first rolling screen assembly is configured to maneuver from the operating position, wherein the foot of the first rolling screen assembly engages with the support surface, to a first storage position offset along the rails from the operating position; and

wherein a second rolling screen assembly is configured to maneuver from a second storage position, offset along the rails from the operating position and the first storage position, to the operating position, wherein the foot of the second rolling screen assembly engages with the support surface.

2. The rolling screen assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wheel adjustment mechanism comprises a wheel bracket pivotally mounted to the frame.

3. The rolling screen assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wheel adjustment mechanism comprises an actuator to move the wheel relative to the frame between at least an in use position and a stowed position.

4. The rolling screen assembly of claim 1 , wherein the frame is generally rectangular and wherein the wheel assembly and associated wheels are located in each of the four corners of the frame.

5. The rolling screen assembly of claim 1 , wherein the wheel assembly comprises a stopper.
