The invention relates a double-canvas door; comprising a frame (1) provided with guides (2a, 2b) for moving the canvases (3a, 3b) between door open and closed positions, said canvases defining an intermediate chamber (8) therebetween. The door comprises a single motor-driven roller (6) for the simultaneous winding of both canvases, and a single motor (61) for actuating the roller, the upper ends of the canvases (3a, 3b) being connected to one another and to a band (5) coupled to the winding roller (6), said connection closing the upper end of the intermediate chamber (8) when the door is closed.

DRIVING MECHANISM FOR ROLL BLIND CAPABLE OF SHADE ADJUSTMENT
20200263493 · 2020-08-20 ·

A driving mechanism for a roll blind capable of shade adjustment is proposed. The driving mechanism includes: a cover housing (212) having a stopper (212c) protrudingly foamed; a driving shaft (213a) relatively and rotatably coupled to the cover housing (212); a torsional coil spring (220) wound and tightened around an outer circumferential surface of the driving shaft (213a); and a clutch wheel (223) integrally rotating with the driving shaft (213a), wherein, in a case when the torsional coil spring (220) is caught by the stopper (212c) while the driving shaft (213a) is rotating, rotation of the torsional coil spring (220) is blocked therethrough, whereas the driving shaft (213a) is continuously rotatable regardless of whether the rotation of the torsional coil spring (220) is blocked, and wherein the driving mechanism further includes a tilting gear (222) and a tilting wheel (224) rotated in conjunction with the tilting gear (222).

Winding Structure for Cordless Window Covering
20200256124 · 2020-08-13 ·

A winding structure includes two automatic winding mechanisms each including a side plate, a rotary member and an elastic member. The rotary member is provided with a receiving space, a through hole and a first fitting portion. The elastic member is mounted in the receiving space and is disposed at a oneway helical state. The elastic member is provided with a clamping portion secured on the side plate and a second fitting portion secured on the first fitting portion of the rotary member. The side plate is provided with an extending portion extending through the through hole of the rotary member. The rotary member is rotated on the extending portion of the side plate and is returned to an original position automatically by the restoring force of the elastic member.

VERTICAL CELLULAR DRAPE FOR AN ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE

A vertical cellular drape configured for use as a covering for an architectural structure may include a front drape panel and a rear drape panel. The front and rear drape panels may be coupled to each other so that the drape panels are configured to be moved laterally between an extended position and a retracted position to cover or expose an adjacent architectural structure, as desired. In addition, the drape panels may be configured to be positioned relative to each other such that a plurality of vertically oriented, internal cells are defined between the drape panels.

DOUBLE-LAYER ROMAN SHADE FOLDING STRUCTURE
20200173227 · 2020-06-04 ·

A double-layer Roman shade folding structure includes a bracket. The bracket is provided with an outer curtain fabric, a roller tube, and an inner curtain fabric. The outer curtain fabric is provided with a plurality of strip-shaped limiting members that are arranged horizontally and spaced apart at equal intervals. An opening is defined between the limiting members and the outer curtain fabric for the inner curtain fabric to pass therethrough. When the bottom end of the inner curtain fabric drives the bottom end of the outer curtain fabric to be moved up, the plurality of limiting members are pushed and moved up in sequence so that the outer curtain fabric is folded and overlapped continuously.

SELF-POWERED DYNAMIC PHOTOVOLTAIC SUNSHADE
20200173229 · 2020-06-04 · ·

A self-powered dynamic photovoltaic sunshade system having sunshades constructed of lightweight ETFE panels covered with at least one thin film of photovoltaic cells. The sunshades track the sun by light detectors, and move against the sun from east to west to block direct rays. The ETFE fabric is stretched on a lightweight frame, which rotates vertically around its axis as a pivotal panel for maximum solar protection. Sunshades rotate to face the sun by day, and reset to a starting position at night. Each sunshade is rotated by a stepped electric motor, powered by thin film(s) of solar photovoltaic cells. Sunshades are suspended between an electric motor shaft and a lower hinge. The sunshades are designed to provide sustainable dynamic shading for building facades exposed to different sun angles, are self-powered, and can generate electric power for other building functions, such as lighting and fan ventilation inside a building.

Panel unit with multiple integrated and commonly adjustable blind assemblies

A panel unit includes an interconnected first and second pair of juxtaposed panels, a spacer joining together opposing inner faces of the pairs of panels about a periphery of the interconnected pair to define common air space therebetween, first and second blind assemblies positioned in the air space between the first and second pair of panels respectively, a first drive shaft coupled to a first set of louvers of the first blind assembly and a second drive shaft coupled to a second set of louvers of the second blind assembly, an actuator connected to the first drive shaft, and an interface structure rotationally fixing together opposing ends the first and second drive shafts, wherein the first drive shaft is responsive to actuation of the actuator to axially rotate and thereby cause simultaneous rotation of the first and second sets of louvers between the open and closed positions thereof.

ROLLER SHADE ASSEMBLY WITH MULTIPLE SHADE CONFIGURATIONS
20200123848 · 2020-04-23 · ·

In one aspect, a roller shade assembly for an architectural opening may generally include a first roller, a second roller and a looped shade extending around the first and second rollers. The looped shade may include at least one outer shade web forming a continuous loop around the rollers. In addition, the roller shade assembly may include an inner shade web configured to be wrapped around the first roller or the second roller such that the inner shade web is positioned within the continuous loop. The inner shade web may be coupled to the outer shade web(s) at a location along an inner perimeter of the continuous loop. Additionally, rotation of the first roller and/or the second roller in an unwinding direction may result in the inner shade web being unwound from the first roller or the second roller along the inner perimeter of the continuous loop.
