A shutter adjustment device for utilizing a tool such as a drill to easily and effortlessly raise or lower storm shutters. The shutter adjustment device generally includes a housing adapted to be connected between a drill and a shutter lever of a storm shutter. The housing may be connected to a drill such that the housing rotates when the drill is activated. The shutter lever may be removably engaged within a clamp assembly of the housing such that the shutter lever may be easily rotated by activating the drill. In this manner, the shutter may be easily raised or lowered with little effort using the drill.

A roller blind assembly is securable between horizontally spaced apart first and second support brackets. The assembly includes a roller tube, a connector for securing one end of the roller tube to the first bracket, an actuator for securing the other end of the roller tube to the second bracket, and a blind supportable by the roller tube. The roller tube includes circumferentially spaced apart first and second grooves. The blind includes a bottom rail and a blind material having a first edge securable to the first groove, and an opposed second edge securable to the second groove. The blind material has alternating first and second strips with different light transmissibility. When secured to the roller tube, the blind material defines superposed front and rear segments. The front segment extends from the first edge to the bottom rail. The rear segment extends from the second edge to the bottom rail.

A rotary drive system for a roller blind. The drive system comprises a handle a worm gear, a bull gear, and a planetary gear drive system. The handle causes rotation of the worm gear, that engages the bull gear, that engages the planetary gear carrier of the planetary gear drive system. The sun gear of the planetary gear drive system is configured to engage the roller tube of the roller blind. Rotation of the worm gear causes a rotation of the bull gear which rotates the planetary gear carrier, causing the planetary gears to impart rotational motion to the sun gear and rotation of the roller tube at a rate faster than the rotation of the worm gear, said planetary gear carrier causing said planetary gears to impart rotational motion to said sun gear and rotation of the roller tube at a rate faster than the rotation of said worm gear.

A blind control for a window covering having a narrow profile; and particularly relates to a control module for a window shade where the location of the drive mechanism is selected to minimize the gap between the end of the window shade and inside edge of a window opening; locating the drive mechanism in a shell disposed in a housing to rigidify a reduced thickness of the drive so as to minimize the gap; and use a single rod depending from the control module to activate the drive mechanism in a safe and secure manner.

The invention also includes a housing with an end wall adjacent one end of the shade; a clutch projecting from said end wall and rotatable about a clutch axis, a drive gear engageable at one end of the clutch for rotatably driving said clutch and shade, said drive gear disposed in said housing adjacent said end wall; and a wand for driving said drive gear.

The invention provides for a wand to raise and lower the window shade.

A scrolling system for a window curtain includes a transmission device connected between a shaft to which the curtain is wrapped, and a fixed frame fixed. The transmission device includes a housing in which a first transmission unit and a second transmission unit are accommodated. The first transmission unit includes a first bevel gear which is engaged with a second bevel gear of the second transmission unit. The shaft is connected to the second transmission unit. The first transmission unit includes a loop which is located beyond the housing. A driving rod is hooked to the loop and drives the first bevel gear which drives the second bevel gear so that the second transmission unit is rotated, such that the shaft is rotated to operate the curtain up and down.

An awning adjustment device with variable speed and direction control serves to automatically open and close eclectic types of awnings by way of an elongated rod terminating at a hook. The hook detachably couples to an awning handle or crank mechanism. A motor powers the rod, so as to rotate the rod in variable speeds, directions, and durations. The rotational speed of the rod is either controlled by a user, or controlled by a rotation counter to variably increase or decrease the rotation of the rod, so as to prevent damaging the awning by rotating too fast. The control portion comprises a power on switch, a power off switch, a pause switch, a directional switch, and a speed switch. The motor operatively couples to at least one electrical power source through a power cord, or a battery to receive electrical power for operating the device.
