A magnetic track assembly including an elongate channel having an open side, an end wall, and two parallel side walls; a first magnet disposed within the elongate channel near an interior side of the end wall; a compartment defined within the elongate channel spaced from the first magnet; and a screen receiver disposed within the compartment and including a second magnet arranged facing the first magnet. In the magnetic track assembly, the first and second magnets are of opposite polarity and the screen receiver is loosely disposed within the compartment such that a magnetic bond is intact between the first and second magnets when the first and second magnets are close together and the magnetic bond is broken when the first and second magnets are pulled apart.

A self-cleaning retractable partition apparatus includes a tower assembly defining an interior area, and a primary ultraviolet light mounted to bottom and top walls thereof operable to illuminate the interior area. A partition assembly in the tower assembly includes a reel and a flexible panel movable between coiled and uncoiled configurations wrapped about the reel. A mobile base is unconnected to a bottom wall of the tower assembly is movable between a stowed configuration proximate the tower assembly and a deployed configuration positioned away from the tower assembly and includes a grip member coupled to the leading edge of the panel. The partition apparatus includes a guide assembly having an upper guide member complementary to the upper fastener and operable for engaging the upper fastener, the upper guide member including a plurality of spacer segments each having a metallic core and being operable to maintain an angled configuration.

A pull across screen assembly has a flexible screen member (e.g. flymesh) wound about a vertical rod positioned at one side of the opening. A line member arrangement is attached to the front of the screen member and part of the line member winds about a tapered drum which is positioned on top of rod and which rotates with rotation of the rod. The arrangement allows the screen member to be tensioned and also to be balanced as it is pulled across the opening.

A screen structure comprising: at least one support element comprising a bistable extendable member; a panel element attached to the at least one support element and comprising a leading edge, wherein the at least one support element and the panel element are configured to be rollable about a first longitudinal axis, to provide for extension and retraction thereof along a direction generally perpendicular to the first longitudinal axis between a first fully extended position and a second position where the at least one support element and the panel element are at least partially retracted; a handle element for extending and retracting the support element and the panel element upon application of a force to the handle element; and characterised by: at least one spacer element configured so that when the at least one support element and the panel element are in the second position, the leading edge of the panel element is substantially parallel with the first longitudinal axis.

A shield apparatus is provided. A device may be powered by an engine and/or motor capable of hurling upward and/or outward flying debris. The apparatus includes supports, each having an upper end and a lower end. Bases, each having a rod insertable up to a bulge into the lower ends of the supports, are provided to maintain the supports in a substantially vertical orientation. Both hardscape and softscape bases may be provided. Also included are: a flexible screen between the supports and an optional retraction mechanism. Methods and kits associated with the device and/or apparatus are provided as well.

A book enclosure for the storage, transport and display of decorative pins. The book has page (s) that open for the viewing, securing, protecting and safe transportation of decorative pins in which the page surface is comprised of a puncturable and resilient material for the piercing through and repositioning of the post (s) portion of a decorative pin(s) and defining a mounting surface for decorative pins. Between the page (s) there is a protective page to prevent decorative pins from contact and potential damage. A translucent front with a zipper allows for the display and viewing of decorative pins. A zipper closure allows for the secure closure to protect pins from falling out. The book has a removable strap for shoulder or cross-body portage or to hang for display. The back of the book has a pouch enclosure for the storage of pin backs.
