A strip curtain door but affixed to the floor and made of semi
rigid plastic material resembling a tape measure except clear
and scaled up. Under the floor, a mechanism resembling a
double row of oversized retractable tape measures supports
2 rows of slightly curved plastic sheets which make
up the
curtain. When someone approaches the door, a motion
sensor cues the door mechanism to rapidly retract, like letting
go of a tape measure, and the plastic strips zip down into the
floor, neatly coiling. Then a minute or so later the coils would
slowly unfurl and re-extend up to block the door.
The benefit is the function of a strip curtain door without the
difficulty of pushing through hanging strips of plastic.

Would like it more if it was a "floor mounted trip
curtain door" Every time you approached it, it pops
out of its floor level slot and trips you up, so that
you crash head first through the door. |

Worth it just for the humour of xenzag's trip
door annotation. Still chuckling as I imagine the
hapless tripper reeling headlong through the
doorway |
