According to the one or more embodiments as described herein, a shade having at least a cloth can be transformed between different types of window shades with an adjustable length and width. For example, and according to the one or more embodiments described here, the window treatment may be transformed from a Flat Roman Shade to a Hobbled Roman Shade or a curtain. In addition to being utilized to cover a window, the window shade according to the one or more embodiments described herein may also be utilized as a shower curtain or a protective cover to, for example, cover furniture of different shapes and dimensions.

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 fastening system for a window shade includes a first and a second clipping base, and a first and a second clipping plate. In a first configuration, the first and second clipping bases are attached to each other with each of the first and second clipping plates respectively disposed between and in contact with the first and second clipping bases, whereby a first panel can be held between the first clipping base and the first and second clipping plates and a second panel can be held between the second clipping base and the first and second clipping plates. In a second configuration, the first and second clipping bases are attachable to each other without the first and second clipping plates, whereby a single panel of a window shade can be held between the first and clipping bases.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide retractable canopies, kits of parts for assembling retractable canopies, and methods for assembling and operating retractable canopies. The retractable canopies provide tracks extending in a longitudinal direction and transversely spaced apart. A support extends in a transverse direction between the tracks and is moveably coupled to the tracks via mounts to the tracks. The mounts include engagement members, such as wheels, to engage with the tracks. The engagement members may be biased transversely away from the support (e.g. toward the track), thereby permitting the engagement members to adjust their transverse positions relative to the support as the support moves along the track.

A driving assembly for window blinds includes a mounting plate, a winding roller and driving wheels that are engaged with one another, at least one first guiding roller, and at least one second guiding roller. An elastic element is elastically wound around the driving wheels, a pull rope has a starting end fixed to the winding roller and is divided into at least two sections, under a first status, the pull rope partially winds around the winding roller then winds around the second guiding roller and the first guiding roller in turns along outer edges of the second and the first guiding rollers; while under a second status, the pull rope disengages from the winding roller, the second guiding roller and the first guiding roller in turns. The driving assembly has simple structure and convenient assembly, and brings effortless and quick operation to pull or lift the window blind.

A mount and associated method for facilitating movement (e.g., pivotable) of a valance relative to a headrail of an architectural-structure covering is disclosed. The device or mount interconnects the valance and the headrail so that the valance can readily move (e.g., pivot) with respect to the headrail. In use, during retraction of the covering, bunching of the covering may cause the covering to contact the valance resulting in the valance moving away from the headrail thus minimizing or eliminating any adverse effects.

An adjustment device for a drawstring of a curtain with a curtain body includes a base fixed to a bottom end of the curtain body and defining a shaft hole, a reel received and rotatably mounted in the shaft hole of the base, and a locking assembly for limiting an axial displacement of the reel. A sidewall bounding the shaft hole of the base defines a through slot. The base forms a number of first positioning portions distributed in a circle about a central axis of the shaft hole. An end of the drawstring passes through the through slot of the sidewall bounding the shaft hole and is wound on the reel. The reel forms a number of second positioning portions cooperating with the first positioning portions to prevent the reel from rotating.

Disclosed herein is a cordless window covering that has one or more removable securement mechanisms that are positionable at various locations along one or more straps that are coupled to a first side of the window covering. Different portions of each of the one or more straps are coupled to the window covering at a number of different positions. This enables the one or more removable securement mechanisms to be removably coupled to each of the different positions.

The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of a system that controls a dynamic-shading system for a window/skylight. This system includes a photosensor array, and an optical element having a field of view corresponding to the window/skylight, which directs light onto the photosensor array. It also includes a processing mechanism that automatically generates a digital luminance map from signals received through the photosensor array to determine locations of one or more light sources in the field of view. The processing mechanism also automatically controls the dynamic-shading system in response to the determined locations of the one or more light sources.

A pull cord safety device includes a pull cord and a safety unit allowing extension of the pull cord. The safety unit includes a plurality of barrier units. Each barrier unit includes two front barrier ropes and two rear barrier ropes. Each front barrier rope has a front portion extending across and disposed forwardly of the pull cord, and a first intersection portion connected to the front portion. Each rear barrier rope has a rear portion extending across and disposed rearward of the pull cord, and a second intersection portion connected to the rear portion and intersecting and disposed forwardly of the first intersection portion.
