An actuating system includes an actuating wheel coupled to an operating element, an axle coupling part disposed substantially coaxial to the actuating wheel and rotatable for raising or lowering a bottom part of a window shade, and a clutching part carried with a carrier and movably linked to the actuating wheel. The clutching part is movable between a retracted state for disengaging from the axle coupling part and an extended state for engaging with the axle coupling part. The actuating wheel is rotatable in a first direction to urge the clutching part to move from the retracted state to the extended state and drive the carrier and the axle coupling part to rotate in unison, and in a second direction to urge the clutching part to move from the extended state to the retracted state so that the actuating wheel is rotationally decoupled from the axle coupling part.

Various technologies for computing are disclosed. For example, these technologies can enable to output a content including a visual content and a sound content.

A curtain hanging assembly that consists of a curtain assembly able to effect horizontal opening and closing of curtains, and includes two elastic motor units provided with elastic feedback. Interactive dynamics between the two elastic motor units, through linear linkage, respectively cause torque forces produced to be in mutual opposition, enabling the let down area of the curtains to be naturally fixed at any height position.

An arrangement for securing an end cap onto a rail of a covering for an architectural opening includes an elongated rail extending in a longitudinal direction and an end cap having a slightly arcuate shape when at rest. At least one post projects inwardly from the end cap into the rail to contact a surface that is fixed relative to the rail to secure the end cap to the rail in a flattened condition. When the end cap is coupled the rail, the arcuate shape of the end cap is flattened out.

A mounting assembly for mounting an architectural-structure covering to an architectural structure, in particular a movable structure is disclosed. In use, the mounting assembly is used in combination with the architectural-structure covering so that the architectural-structure covering can be movable between a retracted position and an extended position. All the while, the mounting assembly constrains movement of the covering portion of the architectural-structure covering so that, for example, in use, when the mounting assembly is mounted to a movable structure, the covering is prevented from moving relative to (e.g., away from) the architectural structure when the movable structure is opened and closed.

A blinding arrangement for shielding a vehicle front windshield. The blinding arrangement includes at least one blinding system which includes a cassette, a spannable blinding body which can be moved out of and into the cassette, a horizontal upper guide rail for guiding the spannable blinding body in a horizontal direction, and a cassette locking arrangement. The horizontal upper guide rail is fixedly mounted above the vehicle front windscreen. The cassette pivots within a cassette pivot plane between a horizontal non-use position in which the cassette is arranged parallel to the horizontal upper guide rail and a lowered use position in which the cassette is arranged perpendicular to the horizontal upper guide rail. The cassette locking arrangement locks the cassette in the horizontal non-use position.

An electric curtain includes an upper beam, two curtain ropes, a curtain body and a lower beam. The upper beam includes a rotating shaft, a pivotal member, two rope winders, a controller and a wireless control unit installed inside the controller. The wireless control unit has the technical feature of receiving and matching with a wireless transmission communication protocol originated from the external, thereby allowing the electric curtain to achieve the effect of establishing the most optimal electrical conduction and wireless communication transmission between the two based on the external wireless transmission communication protocol selected and matched.

A window covering including a frame, a panel section inside the frame, and two separate cord pulley systems, wherein the panel section includes two rails with a panel in between, and wherein one of the two cord pulley systems enables the one of the two rails to be moved along inside the frame and the other of the two cord pulley systems enables the other of the two rails to be moved along inside the frame. The window covering frame enables installation over a window or door frame through attachment means on the outer back frame, such as sticky tape, or through attachment means on the back frame and corresponding attachment means on a door or window frame, such as corresponding magnetic strips or a strip with hooks and a strip with corresponding loops. For each of the two cord pulley systems, cord holders in the corners of the frame hold a continuous cord which is looped to a rail including a spring to maintain tension of the panel section. End plates on each end of the rails direct the cord into a channel of the frame.

A vertical shade has a head rail suspending a shade. The shade moves horizontally along the head rail which has components for moving the shade. The shade has vertical pleats that divide the fabric into vertical segments. Each pleat extends from the top of the shade to the bottom of the shade. The vertical segments can fold together into a folded position. Each of the hangers is individually attached to each vertical segment and also attached to the head rail. The hanger can be formed as a hole on the rectangular profile. The hanger hole is preferably reinforced using a reinforcing edge strip to prevent fabric from tearing when hung from the head rail. The edge strip is selected from the group of an eyelet, a grommet, a clip, or a ring.

A motorized window treatment provides a low-cost solution for controlling the amount of daylight entering a space through a window. The window treatment includes a covering material, a drive shaft, at least one lift cord rotatably received around the drive shaft and connected to the covering material, and a motor coupled to the drive shaft for raising and lowering the covering material. The window treatment also includes a spring assist unit for assisting the motor by providing a torque that equals the torque provided by the weight on the cords that lift the covering material at a position midway between fully-open and fully-closed positions, which helps to minimize motor usage and conserve battery life if a battery is used to power the motorized window treatment. The window treatment may comprise a photosensor for measuring the amount of daylight outside the window and temperature sensors for measuring the temperatures inside and outside of the window. The position of the covering material may be automatically controlled in response to the photosensor and the temperature sensors to save energy, or may also be controlled in response to an infrared or radio-frequency remote control.
