OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A screen system comprising:
a top frame member;
a first corner bracket and a second corner bracket configured to connect to the top frame member and configured to receive and support a roller tube, the first corner bracket defining a proximal side and the second corner bracket defining a distal side, wherein the first corner bracket comprises a side wall with a roller tube support structure comprising at least a central support and a slot, the slot comprising a slot opening and the slot extends rearward from the slot opening and at least a central portion of the slot is defined by a top wall, a face and a bottom wall in the central support and the top wall and the bottom wall are parallel surfaces, and the face comprises a plurality of electrical contacts which are connected to a power connector provided in an external surface of the first corner bracket,
the roller tube housing a tubular motor and a drive wheel within an interior cavity of the roller tube, wherein a distal end of the tubular motor comprises a spindle which passes through the drive wheel, and the drive wheel is locked to the roller tube such that rotation of the spindle drives rotation of the roller tube, and a proximal end of the tubular motor is connected to a motor head and the motor head has a proximal face with a plurality of electrical contacts wherein at least two of the plurality of electrical contacts on the proximal face are connected to a battery located in the tubular motor, and a crown wheel is located over the motor head and locked to the roller tube and mounted on the motor head such that the crown wheel can rotate with respect to the motor head and the motor head further comprises a projecting portion that extends proximally from a proximal end surface of the crown wheel and the projecting portion comprising a top wall and a bottom wall that define the proximal face on which the plurality of electrical contacts are located, wherein the top wall and bottom wall are parallel surfaces and the projection portion has a cross sectional profile matching the shape of the slot in the first corner bracket;
an antenna connected to the tubular motor wherein in use, the tubular motor is configured to drive rotation of the spindle in response to receiving a drive command from a remote controller via the antenna;
a screen wound onto the roller tube; and
wherein, in use, the roller tube is inserted into a front side of the first corner bracket by inserting the projecting portion of the motor head into the slot opening until the electrical contacts in the face of the slot engage with the electrical contacts on the proximal face of the motor head to provide an electrical connection to the electrical contacts to enable the battery to be charged by power provided by the power connector in the first corner bracket.
