VIBRATION ISOLATOR FOR OVERHEAD DOORS
In an example an overhead door track is provided. The overhead door track includes a vertical track section having an opening to receive a roller of a panel of an overhead door and to guide movement of the roller within the opening and a single solid polymer based vibration isolator coupled to the vertical track section to reduce vibration of the vertical track section caused by movement of the roller within the opening.
MOSQUITO NET OF A COMPARTMENT OF AN ACCESS OF A VEHICLE
A mosquito net of a compartment of an access of a vehicle with a floor and a riser includes a frame and a curtain connected to the frame. The frame includes a first vertical upright, a top rail and a bottom rail configured to be secured to the vehicle, and a second upright free to slide on the top rail and bottom rail.
ROLLING SHUTTER LOCKING SYSTEM
A locking system for a rolling shutter that includes a plurality of rolling shutter slats, comprises a guide track with a U-shaped guide channel having a channel base, and first and second channel walls. A lock bar is coupled to the rolling shutter slats. In a locked position, the lock bar extends transverse to the channel base. The lock bar has a notch covered by a breakaway wall that is aligned with the channel base in the locked position. The lock bar may be slidably received in a sleeve that is positioned in the guide channel to increase resistance to torsional forces on the locking system. In an alternative embodiment, the locking system comprises a unitary extruded body, a lock bar, and a handle. A longitudinal channel is formed integrally in the body for receiving the lock bar and handle. The lock bar is slidable in the channel between an extended locked position and a retracted unlocked position. The handle is positioned in the channel to stop the retraction of the lock bar at the unlocked position.
Valance assembly
A valance kit and mounting assembly secure a valance adjacent a window frame. A mounting block is securable in a clamp ring cavity of the window frame and includes a snap connector on the frame side thereof and a valance groove in each of the top and bottom sides thereof. The valance grooves extend in a width direction across the mounting block and have a depth dimension parallel with a plane of the window opening. A valance assembly includes a plurality of shrouds that together define the valance. Each of the shrouds is provided with a pair of snap ridges disposed facing each other and spaced substantially corresponding to a space between the top and bottom sides of the mounting block. The snap ridges are sized and positioned to engage the valance grooves in a snap fit. The universal mounting block is suitable for mounting various types of window treatments.
ROLLER BLIND DEVICE WITH STEPLESS ADJUSTMENT
The invention provides a roller blind device with stepless adjustment comprising a roller blind base, a reel unit pivotally disposed on the roller blind base, and a blind fabric assembled on the reel unit, the reel unit comprises a first positioning unit, a second positioning unit, an outer tube accommodates the first positioning unit and the second positioning unit, a rotating shaft is assembled with the first positioning unit, and a first elastic member is disposed on the rotating shaft. Thereby, after a user combines the reel unit assembled with the blind fabric and the roller blind base, the user can drive the connected first elastic member to contract or loosen by adjusting the first positioning unit, so that a counterweight relationship between the reel unit and the blind fabric can be adjusted to achieve the roller blind device with stepless adjustment capable of adjusting a counterweight relationship.
Screen device
A screen device includes a screen retaining member defined by needle-shaped parts attached, in intervals, to a longitudinal base part which is bendable in a pivotally movable direction of each of plural guide units. In an attached condition of the screen retaining member, the longitudinal base part is supported between a rail part and a supporting piece of each of the guide units and all of the needle-shaped parts protrude inwardly between opposing side walls of each of the guide units.
Perimeter light blockout system
A perimeter light blockout system for minimizing light leakage between light gaps such as, for example, between the sides of a covering (e.g., shade) of an architectural-structure covering and the interior side surfaces of a window frame, or between the covering and the outer surface of an interior wall is disclosed. The perimeter light blockout system including a light blocking device and a mounting element for coupling the light blocking device to the interior side surface of the window frame, or the outer surface of the interior wall. The light blocking device may include rear and front channel members. The mounting element may be a mounting extrusion. Alternatively, the mounting element may be a spring clip. In use, the light blocking device may be adapted and configured so as not to contact the covering as the covering moves between extended and retracted positions. The mounting element may include a degree of adjustment so that the light blocking device may be aligned with an out-of-skew window frame.
SELF-TENSIONING MAGNETIC TRACKS AND TRACK ASSEMBLIES
A magnetic track assembly including an elongate channel having an open side, an end wall, and two parallel side walls; a first magnet disposed within the elongate channel near an interior side of the end wall; a compartment defined within the elongate channel spaced from the first magnet; and a screen receiver disposed within the compartment and including a second magnet arranged facing the first magnet. In the magnetic track assembly, the first and second magnets are of opposite polarity and the screen receiver is loosely disposed within the compartment such that a magnetic bond is intact between the first and second magnets when the first and second magnets are close together and the magnetic bond is broken when the first and second magnets are pulled apart.
FABRIC FIRE RATED DOOR
A fabric fire rated door is described. The door utilizes a fire resistant fabric curtain with an end lock attachment. A tubular steel shaft is driven by an internal tube motor. The shaft is supported to minimize deflection. Single door shafts can also be joined together with a coupler shaft to create infinitely wide doors. The coupler shaft is spring loaded to act as a take up reel for a coupling curtain which will overlap each adjacent single door shaft. All curtains are attached to the same bottom bar. A hood covers the shaft, curtain, and the supports that run across the width of the door. The curtain travels over these horizontal supports as it drops down through the hood opening. The horizontal supports keep the curtain in position for proper seal during a fire/smoke event.
SCREEN DEVICE
In a screen device, a screen retaining member formed by detachably attaching a plurality of needle-like parts in intervals to a longitudinal base part which is bendable in a pivotally moving direction of each of the first guide units, and in an attached condition of the screen retaining member, the base part is supported between the rail part and the supporting piece of each of the first guide units and all of the needle-like parts protrude inwardly between opposing side walls of each of the first guide units.
