  • Patent number: 10017987
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motorized drive device for a closure or solar protection home-automation facility which includes an electromechanical actuator, an electronic control unit and a standalone electric power supply device. The electronic control unit is configured to detect electric power supply and supply interruption periods of the electromechanical actuator from at least one photovoltaic cell, using only a unit for measuring a magnitude linked to the electric power supply of the electromechanical actuator by the at least one photovoltaic cell, and resetting at least one portion of the data stored by the electronic control unit, following the simulation of a sequence of electric power supply and supply interruption periods of the electromechanical actuator, wherein the electric power supply and supply interruption periods are detected via measurement elements.

  • Patent number: 9702190
    Abstract: An operating control method of a motorized driving device of a home automation installation comprises at least one step for entering a configuration mode of the device, a step for pairing a control point with an electronic control unit of the device, a step for activating at least one selection element of the control point during a predetermined time period beginning after the pairing step and a step for entering a second standby state of a control order receiving module of the electronic control unit. The second standby state of the control order receiving module has a wake-up frequency of the control order receiving module lower than the wake-up frequency of the control order receiving module in a first standby state.

  • Patent number: 9260915
    Abstract: This actuator device (1) is for actuating a release member for a motor and gearbox unit for applying rotary drive to a tube for winding a closure or solar protection screen. The release member is controlled by means of a cable. The device comprises a tensioner mechanism (20, 30) for tensioning the cable (11) in an actuation direction (Fa, Fa?), at least one locking means for locking the tensioner mechanism, and at least one unlocking means (41a) for unlocking the tensioner mechanism. The unlocking means are actuatable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the actuation direction.

  • Patent number: 7639155
    Abstract: A transmitter is adapted to transmit a command, toward one or more receivers. Each receiver is adapted to receive said command and identify said transmitter, which as transmitted it. Furthermore, each receiver is adapted to supply a signal addressed to an installer, for example, a visual signal, by actuating an operator connected to the receiver. The method for matching a transmitter and a receiver includes assigning a subset or a rank to each receiver; then the receivers supply a signal, depending on their subset or their rank, for example, in response to a rank modifying command. When only the receiver to be matched supplies a signal, the installer emits a command from the transmitter. The receiver, which has just supplied the signal, receives the command and is matched to the transmitter, which has transmitted it. the matching is carried out without any action on the receivers, simply by means of commands transmitted from the transmitter.

  • Patent number: 7600553
    Abstract: A safety mechanism for a closing installation, comprising a shaft and an element having teeth for cooperating with a catch which oscillates during rotational movements of the shaft. The mechanism further comprises a safety system including a ring for braking the oscillatory movement of the catch. The movement of the ring is controlled by a detecting system that detects the state of a spring which used to compensate the torque exerted on the shaft by the screen body.

  • Patent number: 7325584
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mechanism comprising at least one spring (3) for compensating the weight of a closing screen, said spring (3) being fixed, at one of its ends (32), to a ring (6) which is rotatably arranged around a shaft (4) having a circular cross-section. A stop spring (7) which is arranged around the shaft (4) ensures a one-way coupling between the ring (6) and the shaft (4), means (8) being provided for controlling the centripetal effort exerted on said shaft (4) by the stop spring (7).

  • Patent number: 7237592
    Abstract: A mechanism (1) comprising a driving element (4) for rotationally driving a winding shaft (2) for a closing or sun-protection installation of an opening (0) and at least one spring (5) for compensating a weight of the installation. The spring (5) is mounted around the driving element (4) and is jointly associated with a sub-unit (10), which can be at least partially introduced in a unitary manner inside the shaft (2). The spring (5) includes a first end (51) kinematically linked to said driving element (4) so that the first end (51) is immobilized in rotation abut an axis of rotation (X-X?) of the shaft (2), and a second end (52) kinematically linked to the shaft (2) when the sub-unit (10) is placed inside the shaft (2) so that the second end (52) rotates about the axis of rotation (X-X?).
