The study deals with the rays that come out of an edge of a parabolic screen and after reflections by the concave side of the screen go away from the screen at some fixed direction. The formulas for calculation of a path and disconvergence of such rays are given. In the case of parabolic screens a limiting direction occurs. This direction proved to be caustic bound.
