A covering for an architectural opening is provided. The covering may include a roller rotatable about a longitudinal axis, a shade associated with the roller, and an operating system operably associated with the roller. The operating system may include a base, a drive mechanism, a transmission, an actuator arm, and an engagement arm. The drive mechanism may be associated with the base to provide an input torque. The transmission may be associated with the drive mechanism to selectively transmit the input torque to the roller. The actuator arm may be associated with the base to indirectly set a rotation direction of the roller. The engagement arm may be associated with the base and engageable with the transmission.

A high-speed rolling gate comprising a door leaf in the form of a flexible curtain, lateral guides in which lateral edges of the door leaf are received, and a drive which generates a driving force for driving the door leaf, wherein the door leaf has an elastically designed terminating element on a forward edge which is tensioned between the lateral guides by means of laterally applied transverse force components. The driving force of the drive engages on the terminating element of the door leaf and provides the laterally applied transverse force components for tensioning the terminating element of the door leaf and a tension force component substantially directed in the movement direction of the door leaf for closing the door leaf.

A battery-powered motorized window treatment for covering at least a portion of a window may be adjusted into a service position to allow for access to at least one battery that is powering the motorized window treatment. A headrail of the motorized window treatment may be adjusted to the service position to allow for easy replacement of the batteries without unmounting the headrail and without requiring tools. The motorized window treatment may comprise brackets having buttons that may be actuated to release the headrail from a locked position, such that the head rail may be rotated into the service position. The headrail easily rotates through a controlled movement into the service position, such that a user only needs one free hand available to move the motorized window treatment into the service position and change the batteries.

An architectural covering having a drive mechanism for extending and retracting a covering member between opposite first and second end positions. The drive mechanism includes an electric motor unit having a stationary end and a rotating end for rotating a winding core, such as a roller blind shaft, for receiving wound layers of a flexible element, such as a sheet of flexible material thereon. The drive mechanism further includes a motor head, separate from the electric motor unit, providing external electrical control for the motor unit via an electrical interface. A printed circuit board accommodated in the motor head may include at least one of end position limit switches, a switch for setting the first and second end positions, electronic communication means, or a remote control receiver. The electrical interface may include an electrical connector plug, an electrical socket, and/or an electrical cable.

A cordless blind device that can be operated in various types such as manual, semiautomatic, and automatic types is proposed. The cordless blind device includes: a winding roll, a screen, a driving motor, a weight connected to a lower end of the screen; a torsion spring applying torque in a direction in which the screen is wound; and a rotation conversion module transmitting power in two directions between the driving motor and the winding roll, in which when the driving motor does not generate driving force, the torque applied by the torsion spring, the torque applied by the weight, and resistance by the rotation conversion module and the driving motor make equilibrium, so the screen remains stopped, and when an external force is applied upward or downward to the weight, the equilibrium of the forces breaks, so the screen is wound on or unwound from the winding roll.

Disclosed are a roller blind balance regulator and a roller blind composed thereof. The roller blind balance regulator includes a stepped shaft and a friction cylinder, where the stepped shaft is provided with an external thread, the stepped shaft penetrates the friction cylinder, the friction cylinder is provided with an internal thread and is in threaded connection with the stepped shaft, and a friction layer is arranged between the friction cylinder and the stepped shaft. The roller blind includes a roller blind rod, a blind fabric, two mounting members, and the roller blind balance regulator, and a return spring is arranged in the roller blind rod. In the present invention, the roller blind rod drives the friction cylinder to rotate, so that the friction cylinder axially moves along a limiting screw while rotating, thereby increasing or decreasing a friction force between the friction cylinder and the friction layer.
