A partition has an air blowing function of blowing air to a predetermined region. The partition includes a casing, a blower mechanism arranged in the casing, and a blow-out port formed in the casing. On a virtual plane facing the blow-out port and having a wind velocity of 0.2 m/s or more, an airflow with an average momentum per unit area from 0.05 kg/ms.sup.2 to 0.75 kg/ms.sup.2 is generated.

Disclosed is an outdoor privacy screen for space-dividing residential and commercial landscapes with innovatively, snap fasteners that attach to a rigid horizontal support bar which suspends, for breeze-propelled, independent and not interconnected for motion, a decorative fabric panel that is easily secured, removed, and interchanged by means of sliding the panel's top hem pocket onto and across the bar. The fabric panel bottom edge may overlap an additional panel top edge to form a louver arrangement affording privacy; sunlight mitigation; and, airflow allowance for the creation of a wind resistant privacy partition.

An office screen includes a screen frame and an LED lighting/gardening device. The frame includes a table board and multiple screen boards connected together and supporting the table board. The LED lighting/gardening device includes a container for growing a plant, means for installing the container on top of the screen boards, and an LED lighting source arranged above the container and containing multiple LEDs affixed to a support. The LEDs are located at a predetermined distance from a top of the plant, and located at a height from the table board, such that the LED lighting source provides the plant with an illumination level not greater than a photosynthesis light saturation point of the plant, and provides an illumination for the table board, wherein the predetermined distance between the LEDs and the top of the plant is less one quarter of the height between the LEDs and the table board.

A portable expandable device with a contracting mechanism which allows for many forms of recreational products and structures to be expanded, reinforced in the expanded shape, and then contracted easily to regain its portable form. The expansion means is exercised by the use of at least one of the following, resiliently extending, unfolding, inflating, as to become an expanding form which can then be easily retracted to the redeployed form. The retraction mechanism reverses the expansion process utilizing a mechanism which sequentially exerts the forces needed in the proper locations in order to ensure proper contraction. Disclosed embodiments utilized supplemental structural reinforcement of the expanded form through the use of joints, releasable interlocks, latching mechanisms, air bladders, to ensure the form is stable and usable. The objective being a stable structure with a rapid and easy deployment and a supplemental retraction means as to be easily transportable.

A folding room divider may include at least two divider panels, a plurality of connectors, and at least an anti-pinch plate. Each of the divider panels is connected to a frame at outer edges thereof, and the connectors are positioned on the frame so as to enable the anti-pinch plate to connect to the frame. The two divider panels are pivotally connected through the anti-pinch plate to achieve the anti-pinch effect for the folding room divider.

An office workplace system includes a vertically extending frame with a base to be placed on, or fixed to, a floor, a wall, a ceiling or a desk top; and a sound reducing and/or absorbing screen. The screen is elongated, the front surface of the screen and the short edges of the screen extend vertically and the long edges of the screen extend horizontally. The frame can hold the screen at a height relative to the floor, the wall, the ceiling or the desk top. The height of the frame is adjustable relative to its base. The lower edge of the screen can extend higher than the height of the top front surface of an office desk with which the system is used. A computer display mount for holding at least one computer display. The frame holds the display mount at a height relative to the floor, the wall, the ceiling or the desk top. The frame can hold the display mount at a height relative to the base of the frame. The system can fix the relative height between the screen and the display mount while the height of the screen and the display is being adjusted.

A knock down privacy screen assembly is shippable in an unassembled condition. The components include a rectangular knitted privacy screen having a cutout at each corner and pockets along each side of the rectangular knitted privacy screen, hollow frame members and corner members for connecting the hollow frame members. The assembly may be assembled without tools. The assembly may include mounting brackets for securing the assembled privacy screen to a desk or the like. Alternatively, stabilizer feet may be secured to the corner members for supporting the assembled privacy screen on a support surface such as a floor.

A screen mountable on a chairback of a chair can include a primary panel, a vertical strap, and a brace assembly. The primary panel can have a front and back sides, extend between first and second lateral edges and between top and bottom vertical edges. The vertical strap can be fixed to the front side at first and second ends and extend around the chairback. The vertical strap can be formed to elastically stretch around the chairback. The brace assembly can be fixed to the front side to urge the top vertical edge forward. A second end of the brace assembly can be selectively engageable with the front side at a second position above the first position. The second end can be engaged with the front side in operation and disengaged from the front side when not in operation.
