  • Patent number: 11781378
    Abstract: A shading device comprises a power supply device comprising a battery, a first and a second electrical connection elements and a resilient element. The battery is disposed at a holding device for holding the screen. The first element is disposed at a load bar or the screen and configured so as to be electrically connected to an external electrical supply source. The second element is disposed at the holding device and configured to cooperate with the first element. The resilient element is configured to be fixed on the load bar or on the screen. The first element is integral with the resilient element. Furthermore, the resilient element is configured to compensate a misalignment of the first electrical connection element with respect to the second electrical connection element, when the screen reaches a position for recharging the battery.

  • Publication number: 20110308748
    Abstract: This device (30) is used to stiffen a box part (10) for receiving a motor-drive device for operating a blind, the box part having a U section with an external surface (13) and an internal surface (14). This device is independent of the supporting means for the box part relative to a support structure and comprises a first contact element (31) intended to cooperate with at least a part of an external surface (13) of the box part; a second contact element (32) intended to cooperate with at least a part of an internal surface (14) of the box part, and tightening means (35) acting on the first contact element (31) and/or the second contact element (32), in a direction of convergence of this element and of the part of the surface of the box part (13, 14) with which it is intended to cooperate. A box part (10) equipped with such a device is stiffened in an axis (Y-Y?) perpendicular to its longitudinal axis (X-X?).
