  • Patent number: 10060184
    Abstract: A looped zebra blind with height compensation and a height compensation method of the same are revealed. The looped zebra blind includes an upper rod, a lower rod and a height compensable looped fabric. The looped fabric consists of a zebra fabric part and at least one compensation part connected to form a loop wound around the upper and lower rods vertically. The loop includes a front fabric and a rear fabric with the same height. The zebra fabric part includes zebra fabric units arranged vertically and periodically. The net length or/height of the compensation part is preset to make total length of the looped fabric become equal to the sum of the total length of the zebra fabric part and the net length of the compensation part. Thereby the height of the front/rear fabric matches up to the preset height of a preset covered area of a window.

  • Patent number: 9708848
    Abstract: A magnetic curtain and a sliding panel formed therefrom are revealed. A magnetic curtain includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a plurality of a plurality of middle portions arranged between the upper portion and the lower portion, and a plurality of magnetic parts disposed on an interface between two adjacent portions of the magnetic curtain. While the magnetic curtain is retracted, the two adjacent middle portions are folded in half in turn to form a curved part respectively. The two adjacent curved parts are away from each other so as to prevent protrusion and extension caused by overlapping of the curved parts. Thus the magnetic curtain has more applications and higher use efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8646509
    Abstract: A blind with a looped blind sheet for adjusting opacity is revealed. The blind includes a top rod supporter, a top rod with two ends connected to the top rod supporter, a bottom rod supporter, a bottom rod with two ends connected to the bottom rod supporter, and looped blind sheet. The looped blind sheet with predetermined length and width includes alternate see-through parts and opaque parts and connected to form a loop having a front blind sheet and a rear blind sheet wound between the top rod and the bottom rod. When the front blind sheet or the rear blind sheet is pulled down or up, the opacity is adjusted by overlap degree of the see-through parts and the opaque parts of the front and the rear blind sheets changing without changing the length of the looped blind sheet.

  • Patent number: 8297334
    Abstract: A sliding panel includes multiple connecting/adjacent carrier tracks such as two/three/four carrier tracks while connectors of each carrier track are disposed in opposite directions or at intervals. Thus the multiple connecting/adjacent carrier tracks slide in parallel under the same channel. Moreover, the positions of each connector on top surface of respective carrier track are in alternating arrangement so as to allow runners of multiple connecting/adjacent carrier tracks being mounted inside the same channel simultaneously. The runners of the connecting/adjacent carrier tracks move inside the channel of a rail at the same time and the connecting/adjacent carrier tracks slide in parallel under the same channel. Therefore, the number of channels of the rail is decreased and the amount of material used for producing the rail is reduced. Furthermore, the rail can be designed to have two-step inner and outer rails for adjusting length of the rail.

  • Publication number: 20060021719
    Abstract: A fabric slat of Venetian Blind, wherein a thin film such as aluminum film with suitable width and fabric material such as artificial fiber or blended fiber with heat-sealing property are used to form the slat by covering said fabric on the surrounding surface of said thin film and having both sides or one side of the excessive fabric heat-sealed and heat-cut. The adhesive is used to get an adherent layer between said thin film surface and said fabric surfaces, so that the said fabric become the outer cover surface of slat, in order to make the slat of Venetian Blind with fabric appearance and feeling to increase the decoration effect of Venetian Blind.

  • Patent number: 6397918
    Abstract: A Venetian blind includes a tilt means having multiple ladder strings for tilting slats of the blind connected to the ladder strings. Each of the ladder strings includes a front and a rear vertical strings, and a plurality of transverse ladders spaced between and along the front and the rear vertical strings. Upper ends of the two vertical strings are upward extended to provide a front and a rear hanging section, respectively, without any transverse ladders spaced between the hanging sections. Upper ends of the hanging sections are upward and movably extended through a tilter and then wound around a reel fixedly mounted on a rotary shaft in the head rail of the Venetian blind.
