Abstract: The present invention relates to a shading device which runs along guide rails, allowing said device to be installed and removed easily regardless of the area in which said device is arranged. The shading device prevents wear of the canvas due to the arrangement thereof relative to the guide rails along which said canvas slides. Likewise, the shading device allows the canvas-winding casing to be placed in an intermediate position relative to the guide rails, enabling the configuration of shading devices in which some rails are longer than others.

Abstract: The present invention refers to an end cap with entry guide of the type used as lateral cover for a blind housing. The end caps consist of a base which has an outlet point corresponding to the lateral vertical profiles which serve as a guide for the slats of the blind as it ascends and descends. The entry guides consist of elements situated in the end caps and adjacent to their outlet point, the function of which is to ensure that the slats attack the outlet point of the end cap at an angle which facilitates operation of the blind. The end cap is characterised in that the entry guide is provided with means for adjusting its position so that it varies the distance between it and the mouth of the outlet point. In this way it is possible to use the same end cap for different types and sizes of slats and blinds.

Abstract: The invention relates to an attachment link for louvers, used to provide a connection between the louver and the winding shaft. The attachment link according to the invention provides a mode of coupling on one or more cavities or boreholes of the shaft by means of a particular mode of expansion of mobile parts which press against the walls of the cavity or the borehole. The preferred embodiment uses floating parts which enable a rapid fixing operation by means of the rotation of two pivoting parts.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is an end stop device for blind-rolling shafts that can be used for a wide range of blinds regardless of their length, as well as having a high breaking strength as a helical cylindrical pinion must only engage an endless gear, so that its lifetime measured in number of cycles resisting fatigue is very high, as well as having a special construction of the helical cylindrical pinion formed by two parts, as well as of the assembly meant to determine the end of run, which has a counter for the number of turns made by the blinds shaft.

Abstract: A locking device for a roller blind gimbal includes a drive worm gear meshed with a crown gear to which a roller blind is coupled, and a pair of pinion gears meshed to the crown gear for co-rotation therewith, the pinion gears having locking openings in their hubs engageable by a locking element that is spring biased towards the locking openings when they are aligned in a locking position. The locking position of the openings is periodically reached by rotation of the crown gear and pinion gears in a blind raising direction. Release of the locking element is obtained by rotating a driving worm gear in a blind lowering direction to release the engagement between the locking element and the hub openings in the pinion gears.
