Roller blind, process for manufacturing same and roller blind system with such a roller blind

A roller blind (10) with a curtain that can be wound up on a winding shaft and can be unwound against a spring tension, with a spring (31) for generating the spring tension. The spring (31) is configured such that the curtain remains in each unwound position in a self-retaining manner. A manufacturing effort can be reduced during the assembly by the spring drive being assembled from one or more modularly connected, prefabricated partial springs (31).

20230123707 · 2023-04-20 · ·

A window shade system may comprise a drive mechanism having a friction slip ring inside a brake hub, wherein the brake hub is configured to rotate with respect to the friction slip ring, in response to an at least partial rotation of the drive mechanism. The brake hub may be configured to overcome a break-away force between the drive hub and the friction slip ring. The brake hub may be configured to overcome a break-away force between the drive hub and the friction slip ring. The brake hub may be configured to overcome a break-away force of about double a maximum force that a window shade exerts on the friction slip ring. The system may include a spring plunger system abutting a bracket, wherein the spring plunger system may be configured to reduce friction against the bracket in response to a first at least partial rotation of a drive mechanism.

Folding shade

A folding shade includes a supporting seat having a first plate and a second plate opposite to the first plate. The first plate has an abutting portion. A rod unit is connected between the first plate and the second plate. The rod unit includes an axle and a transmission rod rotatably disposed around the axle. An annular space is defined between the transmission rod and the axle. A returning element is mounted around the axle and is connected to the transmission rod. The rod unit extends along a longitudinal axis. A braking mechanism is disposed in the annular space. The braking mechanism includes a limiting member. The abutting portion of the first plate releasably abuts against the limiting member to move the limiting member along the longitudinal axis. A shade is coiled around the rod unit.

ROLLER BLIND DEVICE WITH STEPLESS ADJUSTMENT
