Abstract:
A screen assembly intended for being mounted on the frame of an opening, which roller screen comprises:a gauze screen; a pull beam connected to a free end of said gauze screen; and guides for holding said pull beam and the side edges of said gauze screen, wherein said guides each include an outer housing having a substantially cylindrical chamber, the outer housing being fixable to the frame, and a likewise substantially cylindrical inner housing, which is accommodated in said cylindrical chamber in such manner as to be concentrically rotatable therein, which outer housing and which inner housing are each provided with a longitudinal slot which extends substantially along their entire length, the longitudinal slot of the outer housing being wider than the longitudinal slot of the inner housing and wherein the longitudinal slots of the outer housing and that of the inner housing overlap, in a circumferential direction thereof, in an operative position of the roller screen such that the inner housing can be rotated at least 15Â° in relation to the outer housing from a position where one set of proximate edges of the longitudinal slots of the inner and outer housings coincide to a position where the other set of proximate edges of the inner and outer housings coincides, while maintaining an overlap of the longitudinal slots of the inner and outer housings.
