DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0043] That assembly of a screen device (2) and a frame profile (21) which is depicted in the figures comprises a screen device (2) which is depicted separately in FIG. 1 and a frame profile (21) which is depicted separately in FIG. 2.

[0044] The screen device (2) from this assembly is provided to be mounted in front of the frame profile (21) in order thus to be able to at least partially close off or to be able to liberate the frame which is delimited by this frame profile (21). This screen device (2) comprises for this purpose a screen (4), which can be rolled up and unrolled on a vertical screen roller. This screen roller is accommodated in a vertically placed screen box (3).

[0045] On the side away from the side where the screen (4) is rolled up and unrolled on the screen roller, an end lath (5) is fastened to the screen (4). The end of this end lath (5) at the bottom of the screen device (2) is guidingly fitted in the bottommost lath guide (6), so that this end, during the roll-up and unrolling movement of the screen (4), is guided in this bottommost lath guide (6). The end of the end lath (5) at the top of the screen device (2) is guidingly fitted in the topmost lath guide (23), so that this end, during the roll-up and unrolling movement of the screen (4), is guided in this topmost lath guide (23).

[0046] On both lateral sides, the screen (4) is provided with a half-zip, which is guidingly accommodated in a screen guide (6), arranged in the respective lath guide (6, 23), for guiding this half-zip and the corresponding lateral side of the screen (4) during the roll-up and unrolling movement of the screen (4).

[0047] The frame profile (21) is provided with drainage openings, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0048] In order to mount the bottommost lath guide (6) against the frame profile (21), the screen device (2) comprises first holders (9), which are more clearly visible in FIGS. 3, 6 and 7. The topmost lath guide (23) can be mounted with similar holders (24) against a topmost frame profile which delimits the said frame.

[0049] The first holders (9) for the mounting of the bottommost lath guide (6) comprise two legs (14, 15) and are realized with a virtually L-shaped cross section.

[0050] A first leg (14) of each first holder (9) is mounted against the frame profile (21), as can be seen in FIG. 3, and extends, following assembly, on the rear side of the bottommost lath guide (6), as can be seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, so as thus to extend between the guide profile (6) and the frame profile (21). A second leg (15) of each first holder (9) extends, following assembly, at the bottom of the bottommost lath guide (6), as can be seen in FIGS. 6 and 7.

[0051] Each leg (14, 15) of the first holders (9) is provided with a hook-shaped rib (12), which can be fitted in a corresponding slot (11) of the bottommost lath guide (6) in order to fasten this bottommost lath guide (6) detachably to these first holders (9).

[0052] As can be seen in FIG. 3, the first holders (9) are mounted at a distance apart next to the drainage openings (13) in the frame profile (21). In this way, a free space (22) between these first holders (9), the bottommost lath guide (6) and the frame profile (21), and a free space (22) between these first holders (9) at the bottom of the bottommost lath guide (6), are left clear. Run-off which comes out of the drainage openings (13) in the frame profile (21) can thus be led off via these free spaces (22).

[0053] In the first holders (9) are provided openings (16), so that it is possible, depending on the marginal conditions, to fasten these first holders (9) to the environment. Here these first holders (9) could be fastened to the frame profile (21), for example, with the aid of screws. However, these first holders (9) could also be fastened to this frame profile (21), for example, with the aid of bonding. If these first holders (9) could be placed on a base surface, it would also be possible, for example, to fasten these first holders (9) to this base surface with the aid of screws. Alternative fastening methods with alternative fastening means are, of course, conceivable.

[0054] These first holders (9) and bottommost lath guide (6) together form a first embodiment of a guide device (1) according to this invention. Together with the frame profile (21), they form a guide assembly (1) according to an embodiment of this invention.

[0055] In the bottommost lath guide (6) is accommodated the corresponding screen guide (6) with the aid of second holders (9), as can more clearly be seen in FIGS. 5 and 7.

[0056] Each of these second holders (9) comprises a cavity (17), which is defined by a base (18), two sides (19) standing vertical to the base (18), and two collars (20), which extend away from the base (18), with respect to the vertical sides (19), towards each other, so that a slot (11) extends between each collar (20), corresponding vertical side (19) and base (18). The screen guide (6) comprises two flanges (12), forming the said ribs (12), which in the mounted state each extend at least partially into a corresponding slot (11) in the cavity (17). In this way, the screen guide (6) is detachably attached to the second holders (9).

[0057] The second holders (9) are arranged at a distance apart in the bottommost lath guide (6), so that dust and dirt will fall next to the screen guide (6), this in the bottommost lath guide (6). In this way, this dust or dirt leaves the sliding movement of the screen (4) in this screen guide (6) unimpeded. The bottommost lath guide (6) can consist, for example, of a plurality of parts, wherein one of these parts is easily detachable, so that the dust and dirt which accumulates in this bottommost lath guide (6) can be easily removed, if necessary, by detachment of one of these parts.

[0058] These second holders (9) and screen guide (6) together form a second embodiment of a guide device (1) according to this invention.
