| 20090212148 | SPRING-BIASED EXTENDABLE AND RETRACTABLE HANGER WITH A ROLLER, SUPPORT LINES AND RETURN LINE CONFIGURED TO FACILITATE RETRACTION OF THE FULLY EXTENDED HANGER - A spring-biased extendable and retractable hanger assembly with a roller, support lines and a return line configured to facilitate retraction of the fully extended hanger bar includes a spring-biased window shade style roller assembly. The roller assembly features a pair of mounting pintles that extend from opposed ends of the roller. As the support lines are extended, the roller rotates in an extension direction and the roller's spring is wound, so that a biasing force is generated which will restore the assembly to a desired position upon disengagement, such as by quickly rotating the roller in the extension direction and releasing. The support lines are configured to support the hanger bar at a desired height when the lines are fully extended. The return line is longer than the support lines by an additional length sufficient to wrap around the roller one or more times when the support lines are in their fully extended position. The bottom end of the return line is a free end. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20120091246 | CORD WINDER SEAT STRUCTURE - A cord winder seat structure installed in a shutter rail for controlling opening/closing of the slats of the shutter.

The polygonal drum body has several angles contained between the plane sidewalls. A pull cord is wound around the polygonal drum body for rotating the cord reel. The angles of the polygonal drum body serve as pull points for the pull cord. When a user pulls the pull cord to rotate the cord reel, the pull cord can apply a pull force to the angles to more precisely operate and locate the cord reel and save strength. An oblique slot is formed on a plane sidewall of the drum body on an inner side thereof to avoid tangling of the pull cord. | 04-19-2012 |

| 20090057464 | Method for controlling the tension of the yarn unwinding from a negative yarn-feeder for textile machines, and apparatus for carrying out such method - The tension is modulated by a weft-braking device controlled by a tension control block programmed for comparing the measured tension with a reference tension, and for transmitting a braking level signal to the weft-braking device, which braking level signal is adapted to minimize the difference between the measured tension and the reference tension. The yarn consumption speed is calculated, then the yarn consumption speed is compared with a predetermined threshold speed, and if the calculated consumption speed overcomes the predetermined threshold value, the tension control block is enabled, while, if the calculated consumption speed is lower than the threshold value, the tension control block is disabled and the last signal generated by the latter is maintained as braking signal, until the yarn consumption speed overcomes again the threshold value. | 03-05-2009 |
