RESTRICTION DEVICE FOR RESTRICTING WIRES FROM BEING PULLED OUT FROM SHADE
20170306695 · 2017-10-26 ·

A window shade includes a top box, a bottom bar and a shade connected between the top box and the bottom bar. Multiple wire units extend through holes of the shade. Each wire unit includes two connection wires and multiple cross wires which are spaced and transversely connected between the connection wires. Each wire unit has an operation wire for controlling the shade, the operation wire alternatively extends between the cross wires along the longitudinal direction of the shade. The holes in the shade each include two passages formed at two inner ends thereof. The connection wires extend through the two passages. At least one tooth extends from each of two insides of each of the holes and located between the two passages. When the wire unit is pulled outward, the cross wires are restricted by the teeth so that the operation wire is restricted from being pull out.

Interactive Objects Including Touch-Sensitive Cords

An interactive window treatment can include an interactive cord. The interactive cord can include a plurality of non-conductive lines; a plurality of conductive lines arranged together with one or more of the plurality of non-conductive lines to form a touch-sensitive area and a non-touch-sensitive area along the interactive cord. The interactive object can include at least one processor and at least one tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations. The operations can include detecting a user gesture using one or more of the plurality of conductive lines. The interactive cord can be connected with an upper attachment point at a first end of the interactive cord.

Safety window blind

A safety window blind includes a headrail, a blind body and two control units. Each control unit has a spacer cord having a plurality of cord loop units, a plurality of rings, and a control cord passing through the rings, being operable to retract and expand the blind body, and having a plurality of holding segments. Each of the cord loop units has first and second cords respectively forming first and second loops. For each holding segment and a corresponding cord loop unit, the holding segment has a first extending section passing through the first loop, a first turning section bent around the second cord, a second turning section bent around the first cord, and a second extending section passing through the second loop.

REGULATION MECHANISM FOR A VENETIAN BLIND
20170284155 · 2017-10-05 ·

A control mechanism for a blind suspended by lift cords, said control mechanism comprising a hollow rod articulated to the headrail and accommodating said lift cords extending to an elevation assembly operated by an actuator slidingly received over the rod; wherein upward displacing of the actuator entails lowering of the blind and downwards displacing of the actuator entails raising of the blind, said control mechanism further comprising a friction mechanism for arresting the blind at any respective elevation and a regulation mechanism configured for selectively setting the extent of displacement of the actuator based on the weight of the blind.
