ABSTRACT:
A roll-up screen door includes a long, narrow housing having a length adapted to extend vertically for the full height of a door casement opening. The housing contains a conventional spring-biased roll upon which is initially wound a large sheet of flexible screen material, one end of which is secured to the roll so that the screen material can be unwound from the roll against the tension of the roll. When the housing is mounted adjacent to one side of the vertical trim strip along one side of the door casement opening, the screen material passes through a longitudinal exit slot in the housing in a plane located inwardly of the front face of the vertical trim strip, so that the screen material sealingly engages the adjacent vertical trim strip when it is stretched across the door opening. The front vertical edge portion of the sheet of screen material extends into and is anchored within a vertical groove formed in the inner end of a main curved body portion of a sealing and anchoring strip which extends for the full height of the door opening. The sealing and anchoring strip has extending inwardly of opposite sides of the sheet of screen material handle-forming projections which can be gripped when the sheet of screen material is in its door-covering position. The main body portion of the strip has a slot which receives an anchoring pin extending from one of the vertical trim strips. The curved body portion of the strip is held in sealing engagement with the latter vertical trim strip by this anchoring pin.
