160382000 | FABRIC FASTENING MEANS | 11 |
20090065157 | Connection device and a method of forming a panel assembly - A connection device | 03-12-2009 |
20090165966 | FOLDING PLASTIC CLIP FOR PLEATED BLINDS - Traditional fixing of raising cords on pleated blinds occurs by means of plastic flaps sewn in place that hold knots on the raising cords. Adjustment of tension in the raising cords is difficult, because it may be required to loosen the knot and re-tie it i a better location. According to the invention this is avoided in that a plastic clip has slits, in which the raising cords are pinched and locked after being wound 1½ turn around an interjacent tongue in the plane of the plastic clip. | 07-02-2009 |

The system includes a bracket having a first panel and a second panel, the panels each having a surface, the first surface and the second surface of the bracket having a plurality of protrusions disposed thereon (and various embodiments thereof). Another embodiment utilizing at least one inclined planar portion connected to a planar portion of the bracket at the first edge of the inclined planar portion and an elongated member connected to the at least one inclined planar portion for securing a flexible material. A last embodiment includes a planar bracket having a first end and a second end, the planar bracket made of a resilient material. All embodiments operable to hold a flexible material (fabric, screen . . . etc.) over an opening to a building to protect the opening during a storm. | 12-20-2012 |
20140041816 | ONE-PIECE SLIDE-ON SUNSHADE HOOK - A sunshade hook assembly includes a body having a generally J-shaped hook. The hook has a first, proximal portion that merges into the body, and a second, distal portion forming an open-ended terminal end dimensioned to receive a rod of the associated sunshade. An attachment member extends from the body and includes a detent mechanism that requires a predetermined force for securing the body to an associated bracket. | 02-13-2014 |
160383000 | To elongated element | 7 |
20110000630 | Hanger Device for Window Shade - A hanger device includes a pin fixed to a shade of a window blind. The pin includes an end extending away from the shade in a thickness direction. A hanger body includes a slot having first and second sections spaced in a vertical direction perpendicular to the thickness direction. The first section is in communication with and above the second section. A width of the first section in a width direction perpendicular to the thickness and vertical directions is larger than a diameter of the pin, which, in turn, is not smaller than a width of the second section. The pin is extended through the first section. The hanger is moved upward with the pin moving from the first section into and tightly engaged with the second section. A slide is coupled to an upper end of the hanger body and slideably received in a head rail of the window shade. | 01-06-2011 |
160391000 | Longitudinally divided or with fabric receiving externally exposed channel or groove | 6 |
160392000 | Internal fastener larger than groove or channel fabric exit | 2 |
20120132378 | Spline Apparatus - A spline apparatus is provided which includes a spline section and a spline channel cover section. The spline apparatus includes an intermediate section that is intermediate and joined to the spline section and a spline channel cover section. A frame member is also provided that can be used with the aforesaid spline apparatus. A center divider is also provided which can be used with the aforesaid frame member and spline apparatus to form a complete main frame assembly that can retain a screen insert and/or glazed insert. An “R” channel member is also provided for use with the aforesaid frame member. | 05-31-2012 |
20140209258 | SYSTEM FOR TIGHTENING FABRIC PANELS - A system for tightening panels between two fixed structural members. The system includes a mechanism which can selectively loosen or tighten the panels between the structural members. The system can also include flaps to conceal any gaps between the panels as well as conceal certain structural elements. A series of these systems can be used to create a covering for a frame made of a plurality of fixed structures. | 07-31-2014 |
160395000 | Elongated fastener in channel or groove | 3 |
20100096094 | FASTENING DEVICE FOR ATTACHING A FLEXIBLE MATERIAL TO A STRUCTURE - A fastening system | 04-22-2010 |
20120073771 | Screen retention assembly - A retention assembly for securing an edge portion of a screen to a surround arrangement is disclosed where the surround arrangement includes a receiving channel to receive the edge portion of the screen and the receiving channel is formed by first and second opposed wall portions. The retention includes an engagement member to secure the received edge portion of the screen in the receiving channel, the engagement member having a substantially planar surface and an opposed wedging surface, wherein on insertion of the engagement member into the receiving channel, the wedging surface of the engagement member bears against a complementary wedging surface on the first wall portion of the receiving channel to capture and secure the edge portion between the second wall portion of the receiving channel and the substantially planar surface of the engagement member, and wherein upon further insertion of the engagement member into the receiving channel the engagement member releases to allow the edge portion to be removed from the receiving channel. | 03-29-2012 |
20150289702 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WINDOW TREATMENT MANAGEMENT - Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and method for window treatment management. The apparatus may include a material strip and a pulling device. The material strip may include a hook threaded onto at least one end of the material strip and a plurality of loops stitched longitudinally onto the material strip. The pulling device may be utilized for pulling the material strip through the hook from a first end opening of a rod pocket of a window element to a second end opening thereof. Herein, the hook may be connected to one of the loops to create a securing loop around the window element when the material strip is exposed at the second end opening. | 10-15-2015 |
