Abstract: A remote control mechanism for controlling electricity from a non-interruptible electric supply, and for optionally and simultaneously controlling electricity from a second, but interruptible electric supply like that provided by a clock-actuated switch in series with a continuous electric supply. The mechanism is useful as an actuating means for electrical apparatus plugged-in to its outlet.

Abstract: A mechanism which engages the pull-cord that opens and closes draperies, whereby the mechanism possesses a unique motor control for its automatic operation by a lamp timer (any of the commercially available clock actuated switches which are used in many households to automatically turn lamps ON and OFF at desired times). An alternate control system whereby the mechanism may be operated by a wireless remote control system in concert with the lamp timer. An adjustable means whereby the draperies may be opened and closed to any of two independently selectable positions within the means of the drapery rod. An easy to install mounting bracket with an easy to adjust tension means for driving engagement and hand-operation of the pull-cord.
