11131090 · 2021-09-28 · ·

A roll-up wall system including a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first roller disposed in the frame, a second roller disposed in the frame, and a tube disposed in the frame. A screen may be connected to the tube. The screen may be supported by the first roller and the second roller. Further, the screen may be movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the screen is rolled around the tube which is spaced a first distance from the first roller. In the second configuration, the screen forms a barrier adjacent the frame, and the tube is spaced a second distance from the first roller. The second distance may be less than the first distance. Also, the roll-up wall system may be an acoustic barrier which achieves a Sound Transmission Class rating ranging from approximately 31 STC to approximately 53 STC.

20210246721 · 2021-08-12 ·

A window includes a window frame and a screen mounting assembly. The window frame is formed with two rail slots. The screen mounting assembly is adapted to be connected to a window screen and includes a roller unit, a sliding unit and an interconnecting unit. The roller unit includes a roller seat. The sliding unit is slidable along the rail slots and defines an engaging groove. The interconnecting unit is operable between a disengaging state where the interconnecting unit is connected to the roller seat, and an engaging state where the interconnecting unit is separated from the roller seat and inserted into the engaging groove so as to engage the sliding unit, such that movement of the sliding unit along the rail slots results in winding and unwinding of the window screen.

Curtain for adjusting light transmittance

A curtain may include a blind shade stretched or contracted in a first direction to adjust transmittance of light, a base coupled to one end portion of the blind shade in the first direction thereof, and a transmittance adjusting device to adjust the transmittance of the light passing through the blind shade by pulling outward or releasing inward an other end portion of the blind shade in the first direction thereof, in the state that spacing from the base in the first direction is fixed.

A mounting system for a roller blind includes a tension bar for mounting under pressure between first and second sides of a windows frame. The tension bar may provide both long and short adjustment of mounting system width. The tension bar extends through a hollow roller tube of the roller blind, and through a clutch mechanism of the roller blind, and is coupled to end mounting fixtures. The length of the tension bar may be adjusted as a long adjustment of mounting width. Various mechanisms may be associated with one or both of the end mounting fixtures for short adjustment of mounting width, such as a latch mechanism, wedge mechanism, spring-loaded mechanism, or turn-buckle system. End pads at the ends of the blind provide friction and absorb excess pressure. The mounting mechanism serves as a universal window blind bracket and support rod, which requires no screws or nails to install.

In one aspect, a covering for an architectural structure may include a shade panel and a bottom rail assembly coupled to the shade panel. The bottom rail assembly may include a rail housing and a roller extending within the rail housing, with the shade panel being looped around the roller such that the bottom rail assembly is vertically supported by the shade panel as the panel is moved between extended and retracted positions. In addition, the relative positioning of the roller within the rail housing may be adjusted, as desired, between the top and bottom ends of the bottom rail housing.

Gym locker attached privacy cover
10975615 · 2021-04-13 ·

The gym locker attached privacy cover creates a privacy area behind an arched privacy screen where a user may change clothing without being seen. The gym locker attached privacy cover attaches to gym lockers at a first support column and a second support column. An opaque screen stored without the support columns is deployed from around spindles within each support column and wires in the opaque screen cause the opaque screen to form an arch that projects away from the lockers. The user may stand within the space defined between the lockers and the arch. The first support column and the second support column may each be held in place by a set of magnets. In some embodiments, the privacy screen may be retracted by a spring-loaded ratchet and pawl arrangement or by a manually operated knob attached to the spindle.
