Example motor assemblies for architectural coverings are described herein. An example architectural covering assembly includes an architectural covering movable between an upper limit position, a lower limit position, and a transition limit position between the upper limit position and the lower limit position. The example architectural covering assembly also includes a motor, a consumer touchpoint, and an architectural covering controller. In response to detecting a first gesture at the consumer touchpoint, the architectural covering controller is to activate the motor to move the architectural covering to the transition limit position and stop, and in response to detecting a second gesture at the consumer touchpoint, different from the first gesture, the architectural covering controller is to activate the motor to move the architectural covering through the transition limit position and to the upper limit position or the lower limit position.

A solar adjustment apparatus includes a control circuit, two optical encoders, two driving modules, and a power circuit. The control circuit is arranged in an upper rail, and the upper rail is fixed on the upper side of a door or window of a building or vehicle. The two driving modules pivot two spools at the same speed. One of the driving modules controls a height of a middle rail in vertical direction of the door or window through one of optical encoders and one of spools. The other driving module controls a height of a lower rail in vertical direction of the door or window through the other optical encoder and the other spool.

A motorized window treatment may include a roller tube, a covering material that is attached to the roller tube, and a motor drive unit configured to be located within the roller tube. The motor drive unit may include a motor drive shaft defining a motor drive shaft rotational axis in a longitudinal direction. The motor drive shaft may be configured to rotate the roller tube to adjust the covering material between a raised position and a lowered position. The motorized window treatment may be configured to adjust a visible light transmittance of the covering material by rotating the roller tube, for example, when the covering material is in a fixed position between the raised position and the lowered position.

An architectural covering and a method of manufacturing the covering is provided. The panel may include multiple strips of material extending lengthwise across a width dimension of the panel. The strips of material may be overlapped and coupled to one another to define cells between adjacent strips of material. The panel may be retracted and extended across an architectural opening, and the strips of material may include a resilient support member to expand the cells as the panel is extended across the architectural opening. The panel may be manufactured by helically winding a continuous, elongate strip of material about a drum in an overlapped manner.

Systems and methods for configuring a user device to remotely control a plurality of architectural structural coverings are described. A user device receives a plurality of broadcast signals from a plurality of architectural structural coverings. Each individual broadcast signal is associated with an individual architectural structural covering and relays position information for the individual architectural structural covering. Each broadcast signal is also associated with an individual entry in a list of entries displayed on a user interface of the user device. Each entry comprises a representation of an architectural structural covering having a displayed position that matches position information from the broadcast signal and a position control for controlling a physical position of the associated architectural structural covering. When a user adjusts the position via the position control, an adjusted position instruction is sent to the associated architectural structural covering. The displayed position of the representation on the UI is changed to mirror a change in the physical position of the architectural structural covering as the user device observes broadcast position data from the architectural structural covering.

An assembly of cellular window blinds features a manufacturing process that accounts for the different physical properties of materials, helps the rate of shrinkage while cooling, and helps regulate the various heat and pressure for each material in the manufacturing process. The process describes a joining method using two strips of material to form a single-cell product or double-cell product. The assembly involves joining to strips of material to one another via application of an adhesive and curing the adhesive via a curing station. The strips of material are folded, pressed, and cooled prior to being fed into the assembly, thereby reducing or eliminating bowing or otherwise misshaping.

A rope fixing apparatus for use in pleated or honeycomb curtain systems for all kinds of stable, movable or folding windows, doors and glass balconies.

A pleated and honeycomb blinds system having first blinds that open and close by contacting under the upper profile, a middle profile that open and close by contacting under the first blinds, second blinds that open and close by contacting under the middle profile a rope that connects upper, middle and lower profiles by passing through the first blinds and the second blinds, and a rope fixing apparatus that allows the rope to be fixed to the upper profile and lower profile. The system includes a cover body connected to both ends of the middle profile to ensure the connection of the ropes to the middle profile, a connection element positioned mutually on the cover body, and a middle profile cover between the connection elements and having a pin that holds the ropes coming from the upper profile and the lower profile and moves them on it.

An actuating system for a window shade includes an axle coupling part rotatable for raising or lowering a bottom part of a window shade, an arresting part and an arrester coupling part connected with each other, the arresting part having a braking state and a release state, a clutching part carried with the arrester coupling part and movable relative to the arrester coupling part between a retracted state where the clutching part is disengaged from the axle coupling part and an extended state where the clutching part is engaged with the axle coupling part, and an actuating wheel movably linked to the clutching part, the actuating wheel being rotatable in a first direction to urge the clutching part to move from the retracted state to the extended state, and in an opposite second direction to urge the clutching part to move from the extended state to the retracted state.

A static mitigation end cap, for an architectural covering is provided. The covering may include a head rail having an end cap. The end cap may include housing extending along a longitudinal length of the head rail and defining a chamber. The end cap may include a printed circuit board received within the chamber and configured to control a motor assembly operatively connected to the at least one end cap. The end cap may include an actuation member slidably coupled with the end cap for selective engagement with the printed circuit board.
