Window blind
A window blind includes a headrail, a covering assembly including a plurality of slats and a bottom rail, a lifting mechanism including a driving module and a lift cord assembly operably connected to the driving module, a tilt mechanism adapted to drive the slats to rotate, and an auxiliary unit provided between the tilt mechanism and the lifting mechanism. The lift cord assembly is connected to the bottom rail for expanding or folding the covering assembly. The covering assembly is in a first state when each and every one of the slats is substantially parallel to each other and correspondingly rotatable by the tilt mechanism, and is in a second state otherwise. When the covering assembly is in the second state, the auxiliary unit is drivable by the tilt mechanism to make the lifting mechanism further release the lift cord assembly, changing the covering assembly into the first state again.
Skew Adjustment Mechanism for a Window Covering
A skew adjustment method and apparatus for adjusting the skewed condition of a movable rail of a window covering in which the movable rail is supported by lift cords wrapped around spools. A drive train disconnecting mechanism is used to disconnect a first spool from a second spool, the first spool is rotated relative to the second spool, thereby changing the length of the first lift cord relative to the second lift cord until the movable rail is in the desired position; and then the first and second spools are reconnected so the first and second spools rotate together. An end cap may be used to enable multiple disassemblies and reassemblies of the end cap to access the skew adjustment mechanism. In one embodiment, there are two movable rails, and the lift cords for both movable rails extend through the same rout holes in the covering. Disconnecting the first spool from the second spool may activate a mechanism that prevents the second spool from rotating.
SCROLLING UNIT FOR ELECTRIC WINDOW CURTAIN
A window curtain includes a top rail, a bottom rail and a curtain between the top and bottom rails. A transmission unit and a scrolling unit are received in the bottom rail. Transmission unit includes a control member, a motor, and a shaft connected to the motor. The scrolling unit includes a case in which a passive part, a first prat and a second part are accommodated. The shaft of the motor drives the scrolling unit. A first rope is connected to the first part. A second rope is connected to the second part. The first and second ropes pass through the curtain and are connected to the top rail via the first and second transition members. The transmission unit and the scrolling unit are received in the bottom rail to reduce the weight of the top rail, and are easily maintained.
Battery-Powered Motorized Window Treatment Having a Service Position
A battery-powered motorized window treatment for covering at least a portion of a window may be adjusted into a service position to allow for access to at least one battery that is powering the motorized window treatment. A headrail of the motorized window treatment may be adjusted to the service position to allow for easy replacement of the batteries without unmounting the headrail and without requiring tools. The motorized window treatment may comprise brackets having buttons that may be actuated to release the headrail from a locked position, such that the head rail may be rotated into the service position. The headrail easily rotates through a controlled movement into the service position, such that a user only needs one free hand available to move the motorized window treatment into the service position and change the batteries.
Non-stay-cord venetian blind and winding device thereof
A winding device for a non-stay-cord venetian blind is disclosed, which comprises a fixing seat, a fixer, winding drums with one-way dampers, a rear cover and iron cores. A non-stay-cord venetian blind adopting the winding device is also disclosed, which comprises a top beam, a bottom beam, slats, cords, a winding device, a motor and a shaft. The winding device adopts a unique separate settlement for the motor, which is convenient for mounting and displacement and easy to roll up and down. During the operation, the non-stay-cord venetian blind keeps horizontal and the bottom beam does not slide down or bounce back in any positions. The winding device is able to be applied on blinds adopt strip or string shaped ladder tape or blinds with center holes, side holes or side slots on the slats. Multiple cords are able to be winded the same winding drum.
SHADING DEVICE
A shading device including a first driving shaft that is rotatably supported within a headbox and may drive a first moving member and a second driving shaft that is rotatably supported within the headbox and may drive a second moving member, the shading device includes a first pulley that drives the first driving shaft, and a second pulley that is disposed at a position different from the first pulley in a longitudinal direction of the headbox and drives the second driving shaft.
SPRING BOX FOR WINDOW COVERING
A spring box, which can be used in a window covering, includes a prestressing device, a cord reel, and a cord-guiding shaft provided on a horizontal plane of a base. The prestressing device provides a force to the cord reel to rotate the cord reel and wind up a lift cord, wherein the lift cord contacts and goes around the cord-guiding shaft before being connected to the covering material of the window covering. By providing the cord-guiding shaft at a predetermined tilt orientation and tilt angle, the lift cord can be properly guided and the movement thereof can be restrained. In this way, during the process of winding up, the lift cord can be prevented from having its cord loops overlapping or tangling with each other.
WINDOW BLIND
A window blind includes a housing, a slat assembly, a slat angle adjusting device, and a first cord. The slat assembly is provided below the housing, and has multiple slats and a bottom end portion. The slat angle adjusting device includes a rotating shaft assembly provided in the housing, and a ladder assembly which includes at least two ladders connected to the rotating shaft assembly for turning the slats. The first cord passes on a front or a rear side of the slats, and connects the rotating shaft assembly and the bottom end portion. Throughout the duration of the rotation of the rotating shaft assembly, the first cord and a warp, which belongs to the ladder assembly and on the same side as the first cord, are both reeled into or out of the housing concurrently, and the slats and the bottom end portion are all rotated concurrently as well.
Battery-powered motorized window treatment having a service position
A battery-powered motorized window treatment for covering at least a portion of a window may be adjusted into a service position to allow for access to at least one battery that is powering the motorized window treatment. A headrail of the motorized window treatment may be adjusted to the service position to allow for easy replacement of the batteries without unmounting the headrail and without requiring tools. The motorized window treatment may comprise brackets having buttons that may be actuated to release the headrail from a locked position, such that the head rail may be rotated into the service position. The headrail easily rotates through a controlled movement into the service position, such that a user only needs one free hand available to move the motorized window treatment into the service position and change the batteries.
Blind cord guide seat
A blind cord guide seat includes a connection seat fixed under a blind rail and a cord restriction seat connected under the connection seat. The cord restriction seat includes a fixing section and a latch section. An outer face of each of the fixing section and the latch section is formed with a belt guide channel. The top end of the fixing section is formed with threaded holes for connecting with the connection seat by screws. When assembled with a cord winding device, an external force is applied to the latch section to outward bias the latch section to provide an opening for placing the cord winding device through the opening into the cord restriction seat. An iron-made hook bracket and a latch body are securely disposed at the upper end of the latch section for securely latching the latch section with the connection seat.
