Patent number: 10526837Abstract: A control system for a shutter is disclosed. The shutter includes a force-bearing mechanism and a plurality of slats. The control system includes a power source, a driving device connected to the power source to output a first driving force, which drives the force-bearing mechanism to rotate the slats, and a clutch mechanism, which includes an input member and an output member which are drivable to be connected together for synchronous operation, or to be mutually disconnected for independent operation. When the driving device outputs the first driving force, the input member is engaged with the output member, and the first driving force can be transmitted to the force-bearing mechanism through the clutch mechanism to rotate the slats. When the driving device stops, the input member is disengaged from the output member, and the slats and the force-bearing mechanism are rotatable relative to the driving device.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: NIEN MADE ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.Inventors: Jui-Pin Jao, Wei-Ting Hsu, Shu-Wei Hu, Lin Chen, Chao-Hung Nien

Publication number: 20170067288Abstract: A control module of a cordless window covering is disclosed, wherein a first prestressing device and a second prestressing device are provided on two lateral sides of a reel which is adapted to be wound around by lifting cords. In the condition that one single reel is wound around by two lifting cords, the number of gears linked to be rotated together could be reduced. In the condition that the control module is applied to a large window covering which has odd numbers of lifting cords, the pulling force provided by the first prestressing device and the second prestressing device could be distributed evenly on the reel, and the control module could effectively withstand the loadings of the lifting cords, which prevents the window covering from tilting, or prevents the problem that the springs are insufficient to bear the loadings.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2016Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Chao-Hung NIEN, Chih-Yao CHANG

Publication number: 20170022754Abstract: A separable tilting device includes a case, a first driving member, a second driving member, and a connector. The first driving member and the second driving member are provided in a chamber of the case, and are movable by each other. The connector is connected to the first driving member, wherein the connector has an engaging slot. An end of a stop member of the case extends into the engaging slot, so that the connector could not be disengaged from the first driving member. An end of the connector is controllable to rotate the first driving member. Whereby, the first driving member and the second driving member are completely hidden inside the case, which prevents the tilting device or slats of a window covering from being damaged.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Inventors: Chao-Hung NIEN, Chih-Yao CHANG, Wei-Xue YUAN
