TENT FEATURING RETRACTABLE ROOF AND SIDE CANVAS PANELS OR SHEETS
Retractable roof and/or wall panels are disclosed herein. Such panels may be used as roof or wall portions for tents or other temporary structures allowing for variable outdoor exposure and easy transitions from indoor to outdoor spaces.
Retractable Screen Retention System
The retractable screen retention system is a guiding device for retractable screens that is sturdy, secured, and does not displace easily. To accomplish this, the system includes a track assembly, a guiding rail, and a sliding assembly. The sliding assembly further includes a retention housing and a weight bar. The design and components of the retention housing allows for movement of the weight bar and the retractable screen and yet keeps them retained in the system. Furthermore, the arrangement of the sliding assembly is designed to be flexible and doesn't allow it to come out of the track during deflective motions such as due to wind or some other physical impact. Thus, the system provides a track assembly with a guiding channel for the retractable screen that prevents the displacement of the retractable screen from the track while providing flexibility.
Roller assembly and screen end retention features for a hidden screen assembly and a fenestration assembly
A fenestration assembly includes a sash, a frame surrounding the sash, and at least one screen assembly. The sash includes at least one magnet. The sash is slideably engaged with the frame. The at least one screen assembly includes a roller assembly, a control bar, and screen material attached to the roller assembly and the control bar. The roller assembly is substantially hidden from view. The control bar includes a ferromagnetic material. The screen assembly is configured to apply tension to the screen material to wind the screen material around the roller assembly and to permit the screen material to unwind from the roller assembly under a tension applied to move the control bar away from the roller assembly. The control bar automatically engages the at least one magnet of the sash when the sash is in the closed configuration to attach the control bar to the sash.

Hem bar for use with an architectural-structure covering
A hem bar for use with an architectural-structure covering such as, for example, a rollable screen (e.g., an outdoor insect screen, a solar screen, a hurricane screen, a privacy and security screen, etc.). The hem bar includes a weather strip for contacting or resting on a contacting surface when the covering is in a fully extended position. The weather strip is vertically, movably positioned relative to the hem bar. Additionally, the weather strip may be downwardly biased relative to the hem bar. The hem bar may also include a plurality of weight-receiving chambers for receiving, for example, a weighted rod, a weighted bar, or the like to assist in maintaining the covering in a taut condition (e.g., assists with maintaining constant tension on the covering) in the extended position. The hem bar may have a symmetrical design to eliminate any tilting or rocking motion.
SCREEN EDGE RETENTION AND SCREEN RETHREADING FEATURES FOR A HIDDEN SCREEN ASSEMBLY AND A FENESTRATION ASSEMBLY
A fenestration assembly includes a sash, a frame surrounding the sash, and at least one screen assembly mounted in at least one of: the top portion and the bottom portion. The frame includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and two jambs forming first slots extending lengthwise along at least a portion of the jamb. The first slots each include a screen edge retention feature. The screen assembly includes a roller assembly substantially hidden from view, a screen material attached to the roller assembly, and a plurality of raised features. Edges of the screen material extend into the first slots. The raised features are attached to each of the edges of the screen material. The raised features are configured to engage the screen edge retention features and retain each of the edges of the screen material at least partially within the first slot of each of the two jambs.
