  • Patent number: 10316583
    Abstract: In the screening arrangement, a screening device is provided with end pieces adapted to be mounted on mounting brackets (6). Locking members are provided on the end pieces and the mounting brackets for providing engagement, between these components. The locking members include mutually cooperating female and male locking members, of which the mounting brackets (6) are provided with two female locking members (12, 14) to cooperate successively with one male locking member of the respective end piece, so that it is possible to provide engagement between each end piece and the respective mounting bracket in at least two positions including a first, temporary position and a second, terminal position on the mounting bracket, when the end pieces are moved with the screening device in the third direction from the point distant from the pane to the point proximate to the pane.

  • Patent number: 8256491
    Abstract: A screening device for mounting in a frame structure, which has at least one pair of opposed frame pieces, has two opposite ends and carries at each end a coupling member for supporting the screening device in the frame structure, wherein at least one of said coupling members has a recess having at least one coupling member engagement side for engaging a bracket member in a frame structure and an electrical terminal in the recess. The electrical terminal is resilient and movable in directions towards and away from a body part of the screening device, and the resilience of the electrical terminal is configured so that retaining of the coupling member on the bracket member may, at least in part, be fulfilled by the resilience of the resilient electrical terminal.

  • Patent number: 8051891
    Abstract: A bracket member (9) of a supporting means for supporting a screening device in a frame structure, which has at least one pair of opposed frame pieces (5, 6), said supporting means comprising a pair of bracket members (9, 9?) provided for mounting on a respective frame piece (5, 6) of said pair of opposed frame pieces and a pair of coupling members (30) positioned at either of two opposing ends of the screening device. The bracket member (9) comprises a base (10) for abutment on the frame piece (5), a main face (11) opposite the base (10) and at least one bracket member engagement side (12) for engaging a coupling member of the screening device. A part of the main face (11) is provided by a releasable cover member (15), below which an electrical contact point is provided. The coupling member comprises a recess having at least one coupling member engagement side for engaging a bracket member (9) and an electrical terminal in the recess.
