A support arrangement is provided for mounting in a wall or roof for supporting at least one extendable covering, the covering being arranged for movement between a retracted state and an extended state for at least partly covering an opening in the wall or roof. The support arrangement includes at least one elongated support member adapted to be attached to a wall portion or roof portion defining the opening and a closing structure for at least substantially concealing the elongated support member.

The present invention discloses a flexible and force-variable curtain fabric retractable device, including a hollow metal rod for wrapping a curtain fabric and a fixing mounting member mounted on both left and right ends of the hollow metal rod, wherein one end of the hollow metal rod is inlaid and installed with a flexible force-variable elastic structure, and the other end of the hollow metal rod is inlaid and installed with a driven structure, both ends of the hollow metal rod are rotatably connected with a fixing mounting member through a flexible force-variable elastic structure and a driven structure respectively.

A battery-powered, motorized window treatment may include a fascia that pivots between a conceal position wherein the fascia covers a window treatment assembly and a battery compartment, and an expose position wherein the fascia does not cover the battery compartment. The fascia may be a two part fascia that includes an arm and a cover that pivots relative to the arm when the battery compartment is operated between respective opened and closed positions. The arm may be attached to the battery compartment such that the arm remains in a fixed orientation relative to the battery compartment. The arm and the cover may define complementary pivotally interlocking connectors that define a pivot axis about which the cover may pivot relative to the arm. The fascia may be configured to generate a perceptible indication when the fascia pivots into the conceal position, and/or when the fascia pivots into the expose position.

A portal structure has an air seal device including an air sealing element movable between a lowered and a raised configuration. The portal structure has a compartment for storing the closure element, delimited by a front wall. A space is provided which communicates with the compartment and with the outer environment between the wall and the closure element. The air seal device includes first and second sealing members adapted to reach a facing position in which they adhere by magnetic attraction to close the space, one connected to the wall for supporting a ferromagnetic plate, the other consisting of a magnetic member fixed to the closure element. The first sealing member includes a base structure which can be fixed to said wall by first and second adjustable fasteners in a position corresponding to the position of the sealing member fixed to the surface of the closure element.

This disclosure presents a safe high speed roll-up door with spiral brackets. To enable a high speed operation, robust spiral brackets having efficient spacing are provided to guide the plurality of sectional slats. Durable and low noise signature rollers are used. A unique assembly configuration of the slats and the tracks guiding the rollers enable quick replacement of each individual roller without disassembling the door. A double-belt counter weight mechanism balances the door and incorporates safety sensors that prevent loosening the belts when the door is jammed. The belts are further adjustable using ratchets such that adjustment for the horizontal balance as well as weight position is made effortless. In all, the high speed roll-up door using sectional slats performs faster and quieter, withstands greater loads, and lasts longer than other existing roll-up doors with spiral brackets.

A header assembly and method for installing built-in retractable screens. A header assembly is installed after the structure's framing is completed but before the wall finishes are applied. The header assembly includes opposing end boxes and a header board. The side tracks from the screen unit are installed so that the upper ends open into the bottom of the end boxes. This defines a cavity customized to the selected screen unit. With the header assembly and side tracks in place, the wall surfaces can be applied around them. After the wall surfaces are completed, the screen unit is placed inside the header assembly through an access opening, which is then covered with a cover panel. Thus, the present invention eliminates the need to apply wall finishes around an undefined space, which requires multiple measurements and often results in expensive mistakes in the finished cavity dimensions.

A fire or smoke barrier (1) having a head box (2) for housing a curtain (4) which is open at its underside to allow the curtain to be deployed and withdrawn. The head box (2) houses a roller (3) for the curtain (4) to be rolled from for deployment and rolled back onto for withdrawal and attached at the bottom of the curtain (4) is a bottom bar (7) for weighing down the curtain (4) when deployed. The head box (2) has one or more apertures (14, 15) for cleaning air circulation and being provided at the, or each, aperture (14,15) with a spring (22) loaded trap (16,17) normally held open by a fusible link (31), the link fusing (31) in event of fire.

A containment device including a curtain that can be deployed from a first wound or folded position into a second unwound position, and a case for storing the curtain in the first position. The case is formed by a plurality of adjacent modules, the plurality of modules including active modules that are equipped with means for retaining and releasing the curtain and passive modules that are not equipped with means for retaining and releasing the curtain.
