A sun protection apparatus includes a shading device, including an upper bar, a lower bar and a screen disposed between the upper and lower bars. The apparatus also includes a motorized drive device, designed to deploy and fold away the screen, including a first electromechanical actuator, configured to move the upper bar, a second electromechanical actuator, configured to move the lower bar, and a control unit, configured to control the first and second actuators. The control unit controls the first actuator so as to move the upper bar then the second actuator so as to move the lower bar depending on the position and/or movement of the upper bar, or vice versa.

Control method in operation of a sun protection apparatus and associated apparatus

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 range of motorized-drive devices () for screening blinds comprises: at least one first drive device () for driving a first screening blind, comprising a first support (), a first shaft () rotating about a first axis of revolution () with respect to the first support (), at least a winding drum () for winding a drive cord of the first screening blind, rotating as one with the first shaft (), a first geared motor unit () for driving the first shaft (), housed in the first support () and kinematically connected to the first shaft (), preferably via an overdrive (), and a first electronic control module () fixed remote from the first geared motor unit (), and at least one second drive device () for driving a second screening blind, comprising a second support (), a winding tube () for the second screening blind mounted in the second support () so as to rotate about a second axis of revolution () with respect to the second support (), a second geared motor unit () for driving the winding tube (), housed inside the winding tube (), and a second electronic control module () fixed remote from the second geared motor unit (). The first geared motor unit () and the second geared motor unit () are identical and define a model of geared motor unit () that is common to the motorized-drive devices () of the range.

Range of motorized-drive devices for screening blinds

This motorized carriage for opening/closing a curtain is able to move along a rail thanks to a friction wheel driven by an electric motor and pivot mounted in a casing containing this electric motor. The casing is provided with at least two members for suspending it from the rail or from the rod, which include a support and/or a base element and at least one pivoting roller. The casing is equipped with at least one housing for partially accommodating and reversibly immobilizing each suspension member, so that the pivoting rollers or the shoes of the suspension members are mounted removably on the casing. The support is mounted, removably and via a rotational movement (F), in the housing. Elements allow the support to be immobilized about its axis of rotation. The movement assembly (E) includes a casing and at least two sets of two suspension members.

Motorized carriage, screen-moving assembly comprising such a carriage, screening installation and method for operating such an installation

This electro-mechanical actuator is used to operate a curtain mounted to slide along an axis. It comprises a motor (), a power supply unit () for powering the motor and a box (), the motor () and the power supply unit () being received in a first housing (L) that is internal to the box (). The box () forms at least one second internal housing (L, L'), separated from the first internal housing by a wall () of the box, and in which an electrical or electronic component () of the actuator is received that is distinct from the motor () and from the power supply unit (). A removable cover () isolates the or each second housing (L, L&#x2032;) from the outside of the box ().

Actuator for operating a sliding curtain

A device for the roll-up of blinds or the like that has a tubular motor mounted in a roller tube. An automatic stop and a detector for detecting that the motor is blocked, causing the motor to be stopped. The automatic stop has a screw carrying a traveling nut restrained against rotation in a tubular housing. The motor is stopped by detecting blockage of the motor through the traveling nut or the end of a blind or the like coming against a stop. Adjustment is carried out by manually rotating the housing via the housing end cheek.

Motorized roller device equipped with adjustable automatic stop

Motorized device (2) for rolling up cords or tapes (13, 15) of Venetian or folded blinds, equipped with an automatic stopping device detecting a blockage of the motor. This automatic stopping device consists of a screw (6) carrying a traveling nut (7) rotationally retained in a tubular housing (9). Stoppage of the motor is caused by the detection of a blockage of the motor by the travelling nut (7) rotationally retained in a tubular housing (9). Stoppage of the motor is caused by the detection of a blockage of the motor by the travelling nut (7), or the blind, coming up against the casing. The bottom stopping point is adjusted by unblocking the cage (9) and rotationally driving it.

Motorized roll-up device for venetian blinds

The device includes a winding drum (1) on which there is fixed one end of the cord to be wound. This drum includes a smooth portion (8) having a diameter which is greater than the initial diameter of the drum (1), is located at a distance from the cord fixing point (12) and is limited by a shoulder (9). The cord (11) to be wound is guided approximately tangentially to this shoulder so that the turns (11a) formed on the portion of greater diameter are pushed back by the shoulder (9) under the effect of the load, the length of the portion of greater diameter (8) being such that the tension on the cord is zero in the turns (11b) leaving this portion of greater diameter. These loose turns are positioned beside each other on the portion (1) of the drum ensuring an even winding without overlapping of the cord.
