A rope fixing apparatus for use in pleated or honeycomb curtain systems for all kinds of stable, movable or folding windows, doors and glass balconies.

A pleated and honeycomb blinds system having first blinds that open and close by contacting under the upper profile, a middle profile that open and close by contacting under the first blinds, second blinds that open and close by contacting under the middle profile a rope that connects upper, middle and lower profiles by passing through the first blinds and the second blinds, and a rope fixing apparatus that allows the rope to be fixed to the upper profile and lower profile. The system includes a cover body connected to both ends of the middle profile to ensure the connection of the ropes to the middle profile, a connection element positioned mutually on the cover body, and a middle profile cover between the connection elements and having a pin that holds the ropes coming from the upper profile and the lower profile and moves them on it.

An expandable shelter includes a ceiling panel that unfolds from a top, a floor panel that unfolds from a bottom, a flexible sidewall having a first end coupled to the ceiling panel and a second end coupled to the floor panel. The flexible sidewall further includes a window disposed in the sidewall, and a shade to cover the window. The shade is configured to transition between a closed state and an open state. A first line and a second line couple to the shade, extend between an interior of the expandable shelter and an exterior of the expandable shelter, and are usable to transition the shade between the closed state and the open state.

An actuating system for a window shade includes an axle coupling part rotatable for raising or lowering a bottom part of a window shade, an arresting part and an arrester coupling part connected with each other, the arresting part having a braking state and a release state, a clutching part carried with the arrester coupling part and movable relative to the arrester coupling part between a retracted state where the clutching part is disengaged from the axle coupling part and an extended state where the clutching part is engaged with the axle coupling part, and an actuating wheel movably linked to the clutching part, the actuating wheel being rotatable in a first direction to urge the clutching part to move from the retracted state to the extended state, and in an opposite second direction to urge the clutching part to move from the extended state to the retracted state.

This invention relates to a charging adapter 30, 40 for charging a battery 20, 50 of a solar blind, a roller blind, a roman blind, a Venetian blind, a pleated blind, an electric curtain all having the battery 20, 50, the battery 20, 50 being charged by an output 14 of an external power supply 10, the charging adapter 30, 40 comprising a first plug converter 30 and a second plug converter 40, the first plug converter 30 having a first plug 34 and a second plug 36, the first plug converter 30 connectable to the second plug converter 40, the second plug converter 40 comprising a flexible cord 42 having a third plug 44 at one end of the flexible cord 42, and a fourth plug 46 at the other end of the flexible cord 42, the fourth plug 46 magnetically connectible with the second plug 36.

A method for controlling curtain position of a curtain assembly includes a motor and a control unit. The motor includes a detection unit for detecting the working current of the motor. When the curtain moves upward and stops, the detection unit detects the working current increases. The detection unit sends a signal to a processor of the control unit to judge that the curtain reaches the upper-most position. Then the control unit stops the motor and demands the motor to operate reversely a range to lower the curtain slightly. The curtain that is lowered by operating the motor reversely is defined as at a limited position. When the curtain is lowered by the motor, the lower-most position of the curtain is defined by a pre-set number of revolutions of the motor. The pre-set number of revolutions of the motor is set by the control unit.
