Claim:
1. A screen made of a radioprotective material for protecting an operator from the ionising radiations, comprising: (i) a lower part that has a base and at least one front wall made of a radioprotective material, said front wall extends in a vertical or substantially vertical plane and has an upper edge, a front face and a rear face, (ii) an upper part having at least one front wall made of a radioprotective material, at least one part of which is transparent to allow a visual access through said front wall, said front wall has a front face, a rear face and a lower edge, and (iii) at least one passage for the operator's arms, wherein said passage for the operator's arms is arranged at a level of the lower edge of the front wall of the upper part and comprises a flexible curtain comprising a plurality of vertical strips or bands juxtaposed to each other, made of a radioprotective material, and an upper end of said flexible curtain is fixed on an upper panel made of a radioprotective material, and a lower edge of the flexible curtain constitutes the lower edge of the front wall, said front wall of the lower part and said front wall of the upper part being arranged in a continuation of each other, by juxtaposition of their respective upper and lower edges, then occupying an active position ensuring the desired protection, wherein said front walls of the upper part and of the lower part are separable from each other, said upper part being carried by said lower part through linking means allowing the reversible operation thereof to a retracted position in which the lower edge of said front wall of said upper part is spaced apart from the upper edge of said front wall of said lower part, to clear a space above said lower part, and said linking means including means for the pivoting operation of said upper part with respect to said lower part, about at least one horizontal axis, the movements about said at least one horizontal axis being obtained by a manual operation by the operator by means of operation handles.
