ABSTRACT:
An extendible and retractable screen partition, and a hinge device suitable for incorporation into such a screen partition. The screen partition includes panel-shaped elements interconnected by hinge devices. A releasable fastener secures one end panel-shaped element to a wall. A telescoping leg extends from the bottom of the other end panel-shaped element. Preferably, this leg is spring-biased outwardly and has a wheel on its end, with a brake to secure the end panel-shaped element in a desired position. A second telescoping leg can extend from one of the centrally disposed panel-shaped elements. The hinge device includes first and second hollow body members having three interconnected curved wall portions, with an anchor extending from a concave surface of one of the wall portions to secure the hinge device to a panel-shaped element of a screen partition or other structure. Preferably the wall portions are resilient. An articulation member joins the two body members and permits pivoting of the hinge device, and thus the panel-shaped elements, as the screen partition is extended and retracted.
