Hi, in the picture you can see a tensioned projector screen that I plan to attach to some kind of mechanism to pull up and then fold up to the ceiling. A new TV will be where the current screen is now.

To pull up the screen so that it almost reaches the ceiling, I was thinking of using some type of expansion fitting, and to fold it in, some type of hinge, but I want the screen to end up between the two hinge surfaces. I can't find any hinges like that, or are there any other similar things you can use?
 
  • A fixed frame projector screen on a wall showing an animated cartoon with a red car in a city scene.
  • Sketch of a mounting mechanism for a projector screen, featuring expansion brackets and hinges, for retracting the screen into the ceiling.
  • Sliding metal drawer slides mounted on a wooden board, used for expanding and retracting in a DIY projector screen mechanism.
Should work to attach a rib in the ceiling of the same thickness as the frame and swing the hinges the other way..?
