Publication number: 20150297014Abstract: A bracket system for window dressing includes two brackets configured to be attached to an architectural member, such as a window well, a wall or a ceiling and receive the ends of window dressings. The brackets have edges adapted to receive a fascia designed to hide the window dressing. Preferably, the fascia has a front wall designed to snap onto the brackets and is sized so that it extends above the brackets to provide a neater and cleaner look. The fascia may be L-shaped with a vertical and a horizontal member and the brackets may be configured so that the horizontal member attaches either to the top or to the bottom of the brackets.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2015Publication date: October 22, 2015Applicant: ROLLEASE, INC.Inventor: Joseph CANNAVERDE

Patent number: 9033841Abstract: An apparatus for selectively activating a window treatment includes an input member, such as a pulley activated by a bead chain, an output member such as a sleeve activating a mandrel, a stationary guard for mounting the window treatment and a rotor. The rotor, pulley, and stationary base are coupled to form a cycloid drive, wherein rotation of the pulley causes the rotor to precess with respect to the pulley.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: ROLLEASE, INC.Inventor: Christopher D. Clark

Patent number: 8695680Abstract: A device for disabling a window treatment operated by a cord includes at least one member with a gear engaging the cord. When the cord is not tensioned correctly, the gear of the member intermeshes with teeth on another member impeding movement of the cord along its length. In one embodiment, two gears engage different sections of the cord and intermesh with each other. In another embodiment, a stationary member intermeshes with the gear of member selectively pivoted by the cord in accordance with the tension on the cord.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Rollease, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Cannaverde

Patent number: 8579004Abstract: The present application pertains to a system for adjusting the height of a covering, such as window or a wall covering formed of two or more covering segments that are axially aligned. The system includes a link that selectively transmits rotation between two adjacent coverage thereby allowing the two coverings to be controlled, e.g., raised or lowered, simultaneously. The link includes a clutch that allows one of the segments to be rotated with respect to the other so that the bottom end of one of the coverings can be adjusted and aligned horizontally independently of the other. Optionally, the clutch includes an internal member that provides a mechanical advantage while the one covering is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Rollease, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Cannaverde

Patent number: 8360130Abstract: A tension device that prevents a window covering from operating properly until the tension device is installed. The tension device incorporates a drive wheel, casing, anchoring arm and drive stud. The drive stud has two sections, one keyed and one cylindrical. Before the tension device is installed, the keyed section of the drive stud engages the drive wheel and the casing, thereby preventing them from rotating relative to each other. When the tension device is installed, the drive stud must be inserted into the anchoring arm causing the keyed section of the drive stud to disengage the drive wheel and thereby allow the drive wheel to rotate relative to the casing.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Rollease Inc.Inventors: Joseph Cannaverde, Roger Redin

Patent number: 8286686Abstract: In a window treatment with a cover for covering a window or other architectural opening, a cord assembly includes an elongated housing arranged to be installed next to the cover. The housing includes a channel around most of its periphery receiving the cord. Operating elements are provided on the housing to move the cord with respect to the housing to operate the window treatment and its cover.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2011Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Rollease, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Cannaverde

Patent number: 8025089Abstract: A lifting system for a window covering has a movable shaft disposed within a cradle that is held within a head rail. The movable shaft has an end portion and a lift cord wrapping portion. A lift cord is connected to the movable shaft. A transition member is disposed between the end portion and the lift cord wrapping portion. The transition member acts as a ramp to facilitate migration of the lift cord to the lift cord wrapping portion once bird nesting has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2006Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Rollease, Inc.Inventors: George Chelednik, Joe Zakowski, Amnouy Athitang

Patent number: 7137430Abstract: The invention includes apparatus for controlling the lift and tilt of a horizontal window blind. A tilting drum, conic cord-gathering shaft, torsion spring and support cradle may be combined to provide lift and tilt adjustment with a single rotational control. An angular surface near one end of the cord-gathering shaft deflects winding coils of a lifting cord down the length of the cone. The torsion spring and spring stops in the device allow tilt adjustment to take place in conjunction with the rotation of the cord-gathering shaft. The preferred embodiment includes a cord cover to guide the coils as the diameter of the cord-gathering shaft decreases.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2003Date of Patent: November 21, 2006Assignee: Rollease, Inc.Inventor: Richard Fraczek
