A screening device includes a rail, a drive shaft, a motorized drive device, including an electromechanical actuator, and an autonomous electrical power supply device, including a battery module. The battery module includes first and second mounting brackets, each arranged inside the rail and configured to hold the battery module inside the rail. The actuator includes third and fourth mounting brackets, each arranged inside the rail and configured to hold the actuator inside the rail. The brackets are identical. Furthermore, each of the brackets includes an opening, configured to accommodate the drive shaft.

Screening device

The invention relates to a method for installing a piece of home automation equipment, and to a system for adjustably attaching a piece of home automation equipment to a wall, comprising at least two supports (), each one comprising a support shaft and a holding device, and at least two adjustable attaching elements. The adjustable attaching elements each comprise a supporting frame () and a mechanical connection element (). The adjustable attaching elements also comprise a locking device.

A spring loaded brake for an actuator for driving a household screen includes a helical spring having radially extending end lugs, a friction piece including a friction surface against which the spring presses, an input piece which drives the spring in rotation in one direction to reduce a force of contact between the spring and the surface, an output piece which drives the spring in rotation in a direction to increase the force of contact between the spring and the surface and wherein the brake also includes two end stops which always rotate as one about an axis of the spring and each of which forms a stop to limit axial movement of the spring in opposite directions.
