APPARATUS AND METHOD TO ADJUST VANE ANGLE OF DOUBLE FABRIC SHADING BY RESTRAINT OF FACING
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus and method to adjust the angle of a double fabric shading by restraint of a facing in the double fabric shading. The apparatus may include a friction surface configured to selectively restrain movement of a first facing of a window shading. The first facing is coupled to a fabric supply roller of the window shading at a first position on an outer surface of the fabric supply roller and coupled to a second facing of the window shading through a plurality of vanes extending between the first facing and the second facing. Rotating the fabric supply roller of the window shading to extend or retract the second facing, while restraining movement of the first facing with the friction surface, adjusts an angular position of the plurality of vanes.
Aspects of the present disclosure include a bottom rail for a double panel window shading having opposing first and second panels coupled by a plurality of vanes. The bottom rail may include a body, a first connection point on the body coupled to the first panel, and a second connection point on the body coupled to the second panel. A weight distribution of the body may cause a center of gravity of the bottom rail to be on a side of a plane through the first connection point and the second connection point opposing the body. The bottom rail is adjustable between an open position in which the first and second connection points exert downward tensile force on the respective panels, and a closed position in which the first connection point solely exerts downward tensile force on the first panel without the second connection point exerting downward tensile force on the second panel.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for forming cellular or non-cellular window shades directly from raw stock to the final desired window shade color, height and width to fit a particular window size, with essentially no wasted material. The shade is fabricated from a bonded array of a predetermined number of stacked, identically shaped and sized, elements or preforms of uniform length corresponding to one of the height or width dimensions of the desired window covering. The number of preforms is selected so that the length of the fully expanded array will correspond with the other of the height or width dimensions of the window covering. The raw stock is in the form of a continuously fed narrow strip of uncolored fabric to which the necessary coloring, folding, cutting-to-length, stacking and bonding steps are applied within the disclosed apparatus.

A window shade (60) having a power actuation system. The window shade includes a fixed member (63); a rotatable member (62) that is rotatable relative to the fixed member; a reversible motor (64) mounted to the fixed member, wherein the reversible motor includes a mechanism for driving the rotatable member such that rotation of the reversible motor in a first direction deploys a shade material and rotation of the reversible motor in a second direction stows the shade material; and a control circuit (66) coupled to a set of motor leads of the reversible motor, wherein the control circuit switches the reversible motor among at least three operational states, including: a hold state in which the motor leads are shorted to resist rotation, a deploy state in which the motor leads are connected to a power source to deploy the shade material, and a stow state in which the motor leads are connected in reverse to the power source to stow the shade material.

A shutter-blind system for windows is provided. The system includes a frame and a plurality of rotatable parallel louvers coupled within the frame. Each louver of the plurality of louvers is operatively coupled to adjacent louvers with a collapsible linkage. The system may further comprise a biasing member coupled to a first louver located at a first end of the plurality of louvers and a resisting member coupled to a second louver located at a second end of the plurality of louvers. The biasing member pulls against the resisting member to maintain tension in the collapsible linkage. According to certain embodiments, the frame elements are coupled within a window opening and trim elements are coupled to cover gaps between the frame elements and the window opening.
