DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] An embodiment of a screen device according to the present invention is described below using the accompanying drawings. In the following drawings, the scales of the dimensions of the components may differ depending on the component to facilitate visualization. The screen device according to this embodiment reflects light projected from a projection optical device such as a projector and displays it as an image on the interference side.

[0020] In the following description, the horizontal axis along the screen is referred to as the X-axis, the vertical axis along the screen is referred to as the Y-axis, and the axis along the front of the screen is referred to as the Z-axis. That is, from the observer's perspective, the left-right direction corresponds to the X-axis, the up-down direction corresponds to the Y-axis, and the depth direction corresponds to the Z-axis. Below, when describing the structure and arrangement of each component, the +X side is referred to as the "right side," the -X side is referred to as the "left side," the +Y side is referred to as the "upper side," the -Y side is referred to as the "lower side," the +Z side is referred to as the "front side," and the -Z side is referred to as the "rear side." Furthermore, the left-right direction along the X-axis is collectively referred to as the left-right direction X, and the up-down direction along the Y-axis is collectively referred to as the up-down direction Y.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the screen device as viewed from the front side (+Z side), which is the front side. Figure 2A This is a diagram of the screen device as viewed from the right side (+X side). Figure 2B This is a diagram of the screen device viewed from the left side (-X side). Figure 2C This is a diagram showing the screen device when the screen is stored, as viewed from the bottom side (-Y side).

[0022] As Figure 1 , Figure 2A , Figure 2B , Figure 2C indicated, the screen device 100 of the present embodiment is provided with a screen 10, a winding portion 20 that winds the screen 10, a first power outlet (first electric contact) 30, a second power outlet (second electric contact) 40, a power receiving portion 50, an illumination portion 60, a cover member 70, a counterweight portion 80, a suspension fitting 85, and a switch portion SW.

[0023] The screen 10 is used in a state of being pulled out from the winding portion 20. As Figure 1 indicated, the screen 10 is a sheet-shaped member that includes an image display region 11 and a height adjustment region 12. The image display region 11 is a region that displays projected light from a projector as an image. The height adjustment region 12 is located on the upper side (+Y side) of the image display region 11, and is a region for adjusting the height in the up-down direction Y of the image display region 11 by adjusting the amount of pull-out from the winding portion 20. Note that the height adjustment region can be composed of a material that does not transmit light, or a material that is translucent or transparent.

[0024] The rectangular screen 10 has an upper end portion 10a that is connected to the winding portion 20, and a lower end portion 10b that is opposite the upper end portion 10a. The counterweight portion 80 is provided at the lower end portion 10b of the screen 10. The counterweight portion 80 imparts a prescribed tension to the screen 10 that is pulled out from the winding portion 20, and functions as a counterweight for flattening the surface of the screen 10 in a use posture. As Figure 2C indicated, the counterweight portion 80 also functions as a cover that covers a housing opening 23K of a housing 23 described later when the screen 10 is housed in the winding portion 20. The suspension fitting 85 is provided to the housing 23, and is used when the screen device 100 is set in a suspended state from a ceiling. The screen device 100 can also be set to a wall portion by fixing a cutout 23c of the rear side (-Z side) of the housing 23 to a support pin 86 provided to the wall portion (refer to Figure 4A , Figure 4B , Figure 5A , Figure 5B ).

[0025] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view that shows the main portion structure of the counterweight portion 80. Figure 3 is a view that shows the cross section of the counterweight portion 80 along the YZ face along the thickness direction of the screen 10.

[0026] As Figure 3As shown, the weight 80 includes an engaging member 81 fixed to the lower end 10b of the screen 10 and a rod-shaped body 83 that engages with the engaging member 81. The rod-shaped body 83 has a slit 83K through which the screen 10 is pulled out, and a locking piece 83a that engages with the engaging member 81 to lock the engaging member 81. The slit 83K is an opening extending in the left-right direction X, and the width of the slit 83K in the left-right direction X is greater than the width of the screen 10 in the left-right direction X. The engaging member 81 is composed of a first portion 81a and a second portion 81b that sandwich the screen 10 in the thickness direction.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in a cross-section taken along the YZ plane in the thickness direction of the screen 10, the rod-shaped body 83 has a narrow portion 84, where the internal space narrows as it approaches the slit 83K. The thickness of the engaging member 81 on the side opposite the slit 83K (the lower side) is thinner than on the side facing the slit 83K (the upper side). The engaging member 81 hooks onto the locking piece 83a of the rod-shaped body 83, thereby securing the lower end 10b of the screen 10 to the rod-shaped body 83.

[0028] According to this structure, for example, when the lower end portion 10b of the screen 10 moves upward (+Y) relative to the rod-shaped body 83, the thicker portion of the locking part 81 contacts the inner wall surface of the narrow portion 84, thereby preventing the counterweight portion 80 from falling off from the lower end portion 10b of the screen 10.

[0029] The winding unit 20 includes a winding core 21 fixed to the upper end 10a of the screen 10; a motor 22 that rotates the winding core 21 to wind the screen 10; and a housing 23 that houses the screen 10 wound around the winding core 21. The housing 23 has an elongated shape extending in the left-right direction X. The housing 23 has a housing opening 23K for pulling out the screen 10. The screen device 100 of this embodiment is an electric screen device that uses electricity to drive the motor 22 that winds the screen 10.

[0030] The first power socket 30 and the second power socket 40 are connection ports for supplying external power to the screen device 100. Power is supplied to the first power socket 30 and the second power socket 40 via a power cable.

[0031] The first power socket 30 and the second power socket 40 are provided in the housing 23 of the winding portion 20. The first power socket 30 is provided at the right end 23a of the housing 23, which is one end. The second power socket 40 is provided at the left end 23b of the housing 23, which is the other end. With this configuration, the first power socket 30 and the second power socket 40 are provided at both ends of the housing 23, making them easily accessible. This increases the flexibility of placement of the screen device 100.

[0032] The power receiving portion 50 is supplied with electric power via the first power supply jack 30 or the second power supply jack 40. In the case of the present embodiment, the power receiving portion 50 is the motor 22 of the winding portion 20 and the lighting portion 60. The motor 22 and the lighting portion 60 are driven by electric power supplied via the first power supply jack 30 and the second power supply jack 40. The lighting portion 60 is constituted by, for example, an LED element, and functions as indirect lighting that emits illumination light toward the ceiling of a room in which the screen device 100 is installed. The configuration and structure of the lighting portion 60 are not particularly limited. The lighting portion 60 may, for example, also be driven on the basis of a battery, rather than by electric power supplied from the first power supply jack 30 or the second power supply jack 40. In this case, the lighting portion 60 is not included in the structure of the power receiving portion 50.
