Benefits of technology

[0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a modular folding screen that can be easily assembled and disassembled by the user so as to reduce the volume of the folding screen, thereby facilitating its storage and transport.

Problems solved by technology

Although the conventional folding screen 1 can be folded to facilitate storage and transport, the volume of the conventional folding screen 1 when folded is still large, so that it does not only occupy a relatively large space, but is also inconvenient to transport.

Embodiment Construction

[0023] Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, the first preferred embodiment of a modular folding screen 2 according to the present invention is shown to comprise top and bottom folders 3, four upright posts 4, and three screen members 6 (only one is shown in FIG. 6).

[0025] Since the top and bottom folders 3 are similar in construction, only the construction of the top folder 3 is described hereinafter for the sake of simplicity. The top folder 3 includes a plurality of first and second links or rods 31, 32, which are interconnected end to end and alternately, two hinge units 33, and two endmost connectors 312. While two first links 31 and one second link 32 are used in this embodiment, if a longer folding screen 2 is desired, the second link 32 may be increased in number.

[0026] The two first links 31 have respective ou...

Abstract

A folding screen includes top and bottom folders, and a plurality of upright posts. Each folder includes a plurality of links which are interconnected in an end-to-end manner and which are foldable one over the other, at least one hinge unit interconnecting two adjacent ends of two adjacent ones of the links, and two endmost connectors connected respectively to two outermost ends of the links. The two adjacent ends of the two adjacent ones of the links are connected pivotally to each other. One upright post has top and bottom ends connected respectively to the hinge units of the top and bottom folders. Top ends of two other upright posts are connected respectively to the endmost connectors of the top folder. Bottom ends of the two other upright posts are connected respectively to the endmost connectors of the bottom folder.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a folding screen, more particularly to a modular folding screen. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional folding screen 1 includes four panels 12, and four wooden frames 11 enclosing respectively the panels 12. Lateral edges of two adjacent ones of the wooden frames 11 are connected pivotally to each other by hinges 13 so that the wooden frames 11 can pivot relative to each other from an unfolded state shown in FIG. 1 to a folded state shown in FIG. 2. [0005] Although the conventional folding screen 1 can be folded to facilitate storage and transport, the volume of the conventional folding screen 1 when folded is still large, so that it does not only occupy a relatively large space, but is also inconvenient to transport. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a modular folding screen that...
