A modular shade includes at least one module that consists of a head rail unit, a foot rail unit, at least one intermediate rail unit, and a plurality of slat components. A top slat may be coupled to the head rail unit and the intermediate rail unit, and a bottom slat component may be coupled to the intermediate rail unit and the foot rail unit. Further, additional intermediate rail units and intermediate slat components may be added to the module to alter the shape and size of the module, and the module may be coupled to one or more additional modules to change the overall shape and size of the modular shade.

The present disclosure provides smart curtain light strings including a fixing unit, a mounting unit, a light-emitting unit, and a control unit. The fixing unit passes through and is engaged with the mounting unit. The fixing unit includes a first guiding rail and a second guiding rail. Fixing pieces are fixedly connected with a top portion of the second guiding rail by screws. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to a side of each fixing piece. Fixing plates are mounted on two sides of the first guiding rail. Positioning pieces are threadedly connected to the top portion of the second guiding rail. The mounting unit includes clamping sleeves and clump weights. A stabilizing sleeve passes through an interior of each clamping sleeve. Each stabilizing sleeve is screwed with each clamping sleeve through threads. A package cap is connected to a bottom portion of each stabilizing sleeve through threads.

A curtain assembly includes a curtain lamina made of a multifunctional multilayer composite sheet material, a top retaining member disposed on top of the curtain lamina and configured to receive the curtain lamina and to suspend the curtain lamina onto a curtain rail, and a counterweight portion disposed at a bottom of the curtain lamina and configured to receive the curtain lamina and stabilize the curtain lamina. The top retaining member includes a first holding piece, a second holding piece, a top fastener, and a top fixing device. The counterweight portion includes a first vertical weight piece, a second vertical weight piece, a bottom fastener, and a bottom fixing device.

A fastening system for a window shade includes a first and a second clipping base, and a first and a second clipping plate. In a first configuration, the first and second clipping bases are attached to each other with each of the first and second clipping plates respectively disposed between and in contact with the first and second clipping bases, whereby a first panel can be held between the first clipping base and the first and second clipping plates and a second panel can be held between the second clipping base and the first and second clipping plates. In a second configuration, the first and second clipping bases are attachable to each other without the first and second clipping plates, whereby a single panel of a window shade can be held between the first and clipping bases.

A drape element includes a sheet of flexible, non-magnetic material having opposed first and second longitudinal sheet edges, a longitudinal centerline toward which is defined an inward direction and away from which is defined an outward direction, and a first longitudinal pocket disposed proximate the first longitudinal sheet edge. A first straight magnetic wire is disposed in the longitudinal direction within an inward longitudinal portion of the first longitudinal pocket, and a first alternating sequence of magnets and non-magnetic spacers is disposed within an outward longitudinal portion of the first longitudinal pocket. Each of the magnets has opposed first and second magnetic poles, with a respective first magnetic pole of each of the magnets being disposed in contact with the first straight magnetic wire.

A folding hanger includes a hook extending from an upper end of a hinge pin for suspending the pin. First and second hanger arms each have proximal and distal ends and define a support surface therebetween. Each proximal end has a stop. A knuckle having a hole extends from each proximal end. The pin passes through the holes along an axis, coupling the arms and hook whereby the arms are movable between extended and folded configurations. The stops abut when the arms are extended, and are separated when folded. The hanger has a center of gravity when the arms are extended and suspended by the hook such that the axis is angled relative to vertical in a first direction and the stops bias abutting. The arms each have a center of gravity such that angular movement of the axis past an unstable equilibrium causes the arms to move toward folded.

A fastening system for a window shade includes a first clipping element having a first latching part, and a second clipping element having a second latching part operable to engage with the first latching part for attaching the first and second clipping element to each other, the first and second clipping element being attachable to each other for holding at least one panel of a window shade in a gap between the first and second clipping element. The first and second clipping element are attachable to each other according to a first and a second configuration, the gap between the first and second clipping element being greater in the first configuration than in the second configuration. The fastening system can hold two panels in contact with each other in the gap in the first configuration, and to hold a single panel in the gap in the second configuration.

A modular shade includes at least one module that consists of a head rail unit, a foot rail unit, at least one intermediate rail unit, and a plurality of slat components. A top slat may be coupled to the head rail unit and the intermediate rail unit, and a bottom slat component may be coupled to the intermediate rail unit and the foot rail unit. Further, additional intermediate rail units and intermediate slat components may be added to the module to alter the shape and size of the module, and the module may be coupled to one or more additional modules to change the overall shape and size of the modular shade.

A window shade may include a shade, a sliding base, a weight track, a first blocking unit, and two second blocking units. The shade has two mount bars respectively formed at an upper end and a lower end thereof, and the shade is connected to the sliding base and the weight track through the two mount bars. The position of the sliding base is limited by the first blocking unit while the second blocking units are configured to limit the position of the weight track. With the first blocking unit and the two second blocking units, the shade can be replaced easily, and also the structural stability of the window shade is improved.

A covering for an architectural opening has a dual cord operating system. The covering may include a head rail, blind panels depending from the head rail, and an operating system. The operating system may include a housing connected to the head rail, a first drive assembly rotatably mounted within the housing and operable to move the blind panels between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration, and a second drive assembly rotatably mounted within the housing and operable to move the blind panels between a closed configuration and an open configuration.
