Adjustable rod features
There is provided a lock mechanism for an adjustable rod. The lock mechanism provides a manually locking state and an automatic locking state. The automatic locking state provides a more secure locking engagement than the manual locking state. There is also provided improved end cap systems that minimize the number of components.
Shower curtain rod capable of adjusting an angle
A shower curtain rod contains: multiple coupling posts and multiple rotatable connection assemblies. A respective one rotatable connection assembly includes: a first connector, a second connector, a flexible seat, and a fixing bolt. The first connector has a first locating portion and a first rotatable joining portion. The first rotatable joining portion has a through hole and multiple notches. The second connector has a second locating portion and a second rotatable joining portion. The second rotatable joining portion has two opposite tabs and an accommodation groove. The flexible seat is received in the accommodation groove and includes a sole plate and two side plates. A respective one side plate has a passing aperture, a positioning protrusion, and at least one elastic sheet. The fixing bolt is configured to rotatably connect the first rotatable joining portion in the trench between the two side plates.
FOUR-DEVICE-IN-ONE MULTI-FUNCTION BUNGALOW
A multifunctional skybox bungalow integrates four devices: a dehydrator, sauna, skybox, and wind-redirecting structure. Equipped with adjustable louver blades linked to side gutter beams, it shields against rain and modulates sunlight entry. These blades house solar-rechargeable batteries, powering LED lights and reducing environmental impact. Solar panels on the blades harness solar energy, enhancing bungalow autonomy from power outlets. The design incorporates panel frames with inserts, converting the bungalow into a sauna, skybox, or dehydrator, offering wind protection and insulation. Louver braces within the frames allow louver repositioning and wind direction control. Axis pins grant eight locking points, enabling various louver functionalities. An inner-track insert facilitates curtain or screen attachment, ensuring privacy and protection. Features also include an extending-and-retracting door, door-spool housing, drainage, and base-plate elements for stability on uneven terrain, anchored securely with tube-screws and bolts.
Curtain rod
A curtain rod structure has an inner tube, an outer tube and a blocking unit disposed between the inner and outer tubes. The blocking unit is configured for securing and releasing the length adjustment for the inner tube and the outer tube. By rotating one of the inner tube or the outer tube, the packing cover of the blocking unit is released from the outer tube for adjustment.
Curtain rod with integrated speakers
A shower curtain and window curtain hanging structure provides constant stream of heated or ambient air as well as the ability to sound audio from an external source. The hanging structure includes a tubular body, an at least one fan assembly, a power supply, an at least one waterproof speaker, a microphone, and a wireless communication device. The tubular body supports various types of curtains. The fan assembly, and the wireless communication device are internally mounted within the tubular body. The waterproof speaker and the microphone is integrated into an external surface of the tubular body in order to sound audio towards a user and providing calling services. The fan assembly includes an impeller, a heating element, and an electric motor. The impeller is powered by the electric motor to forces air to pass by the heating element and expelling heated air onto the user.
DRAPE HAVING STABILIZER
A drape has a longitudinal pocket on two or both sides of the drape, A stabilizer is placed within the pocket and extends the length of the pocket. The stabilizer is supported by a drapery support such as a rod or track in a manner which enables the panel to move along the drapery support from a closed, drawn position to an open, slacked position. The stabilizer is supported by the drapery support and is free to move within the pocket. The stabilizer prevents the drape from flaring at the bottom. A wand may be attached to the stabilizer or to a carrier or other assembly to which the stabilizer is attached.
DRAPERY WITH INTEGRATED MOTOR AND FINIAL CONNECTOR
A drive assembly with finial connector for a drapery rod system that is configured to facilitate assembly of a drapery rod and finials with the finials aligned with the axis of rotation of the drapery rod and facilitate connection with and disconnection of drapery rod and finials from brackets while assembled. In one or more arrangements, the drive assembly includes a drive coupler, a gearbox, a motor, a control circuit housing positioned within a hollow interior of a drapery rod. In one or more arrangements, the drive assembly includes a lug and a shaft operably connected to an outward end of the control circuit housing. The lug is configured to connect with a bracket. In one or more arrangements, the drive assembly includes a finial connector configured to operably connect with the lug and/or shaft and facilitate connection with a finial aligned with the drapery rod.
TABBED DRAPERY SYSTEM
A wirelessly controllable, motorized and battery powered drapery apparatus is presented having a rotatable drive element having a guide structure in its surface. The rotatable drive is inserted through the open interior of a plurality of tabs in the shade material. A grommet driver is positioned over the rotatable drive element and connected to one of the plurality of tabs. The grommet driver has at least one tooth that is in communication with the guide structure in the rotatable drive element. As the rotatable drive element is rotated, the grommet drive is driven along the length of the rotatable drive element thereby moving the shade material between an open position and a closed position.
Motorized drapery apparatus with batteries positioned in the brackets
A wirelessly controllable, motorized and battery powered drapery apparatus is presented having a rotatable drive element having a guide structure in its surface. The drapery apparatus includes brackets that house conventional batteries which power the apparatus. The brackets connect to a motor assembly which houses a motor and a motor controller. The rotatable drive element includes at least one key feature in its hollow interior. The guide structure is indexed to the key feature such that two rotatable drive elements can be connected together in such a manner that the guide structure is aligned on the two rotatable drive elements ensuring that the shade material opens and closes evenly.
Room darkening curtain rods including removable finials
Room darkening window curtain rod assemblies that include a curtain rod and two bracket assemblies, each including a removable magnetic finial are disclosed. Each bracket assembly includes a wraparound leg that extends perpendicularly from an axis of the curtain rod toward a wall or window frame upon which the assembly is installed. The removable finials allow a curtain to be drawn onto the wraparound leg of each bracket assembly from the curtain rod to provide curtain wraparound regions. The curtain wraparound regions reduce or prevent light from entering into a room, and allow the bracket assemblies to be hidden. Once the curtain is extended into the wraparound regions, the magnetic finials are magnetically attached to the bracket assemblies with portions of the curtain located therebetween.
