20100294438 | ROMAN SHADE SYSTEM - A shade system comprises a shade fabric, such as a roman shade fabric, a roller tube, at least one wide flexible lift band (i.e., a section of flexible material) windingly received around the roller tube and extending from the roller tube to a bottom end the of the shade fabric, and a plurality of coupling structures for holding the flexible material adjacent to a rear surface of the shade fabric. Each coupling structure is attached to the rear surface of the shade fabric at attachment points that are spaced apart, such that the coupling structures and the shade fabric form openings for slidingly receiving the lift band. The lift band is coupled to the bottom end of the shade fabric, such that bottom end of the shade fabric moves up and down as the roller tube is rotated in respective directions, so as to raise and lower the shade fabric. | 11-25-2010 |
20120255689 | 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. | 10-11-2012 |
20130153162 | 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. | 06-20-2013 |
20130240165 | Motorized Drive Unit Assembly For A Shade System - A motor drive unit assembly for a motorized drapery system having a drapery fabric can include a motor having a drive shaft, an output member rotatable about a drive axis, such that rotation of the output member about the drive axis causes the drapery fabric to move, and a clutch member operatively coupled between the drive shaft of the motor and the output member. The clutch member is configured to automatically couple the output member to the drive shaft such that rotation of the motor drive shaft causes the output member to rotate about the drive axis when the motor drives the drive shaft. The clutch member is further configured to automatically decouple the output member from the motor drive shaft so that the output member rotates about the drive axis relative to the motor drive shaft when the output member is manually driven. | 09-19-2013 |
20130333849 | Window Treatment having an Adjustable Bottom Bar - A window treatment includes mechanisms allowing for easy leveling of a bottom bar of the window treatment without the use of tools and without requiring any portion of the window treatment to be disassembled. The mechanisms allow for incremental adjustment of the amounts of each of two lift cords that extend from the bottom bar to a drive shaft to thus provide fine-tuning adjustment of the levelness of the bottom bar. The mechanisms may be hidden from view on the sides of the bottom bar, such that the mechanisms do not detract from the attractive, aesthetically pleasing appearance of the window treatment. Each lift cord extends from the drive shaft to a pulley of the respective mechanism and wraps around the pulley, such that the amount of the lift cord that extends from the drive shaft to the mechanism may be adjusted in response to rotations of the pulley. | 12-19-2013 |
20140374033 | 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. | 12-25-2014 |
20150059993 | WINDOW TREATMENT MOUNTING SYSTEM - A window treatment system can be mounted to a plurality of vertical surfaces that separate adjacent windows from each other. The window treatment system can include at least two mounting clips, a window treatment housing and a window treatment assembly (e.g., a motorized roller shade assembly). The at least two mounting clips can be affixed to the plurality of vertical surfaces. As well, the window treatment housing can include a housing clip that is configured to mate with the at least two mounting clips. In this manner, the window treatment housing can be mounted to the plurality of vertical surfaces. | 03-05-2015 |
20150240560 | 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. | 08-27-2015 |
