  • Patent number: 12366115
    Abstract: A system for mounting a rollable screen, includes: a screen roll defining an end having a hollow tube; a coupling piece including: a neck element, having a sleeve adapted to be positioned in axial direction inside the tube. The contact surfaces included in the sleeve contact the tube, and recess surfaces in the sleeve define axial channels between the neck element and the tube; a transitional element fixedly connected to the neck element, one or multiple anchoring elements, adapted to fasten the neck element detachably to the tube. In an anchored state the anchoring elements are clamped inside the axial channels, with an even clamping along the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20250137261
    Abstract: A cable anchoring for a motorized non-vertical sun protection screen. The cable anchoring comprises: a frame having an entry opening for receiving a cable end; a bobbin for winding the cable end thereon; a worm gear fixedly attached to the bobbin; and a worm attached on the frame and engaging the worm gear, wherein the worm and worm gear together forming a self-locking worm gear reducer. A self-locking worm gear reducer can only rotate minimally under load. By winding the cable end onto a bobbin, which itself is fixedly attached to the worm gear, the cable end is firmly connected to the self-locking worm gear reducer. A dynamic load (e.g. during winding or unwinding) on the tension cable has no effect on the bobbin due to the self-locking worm gear reducer. Therefor, the cable anchoring according to the present invention has no or only minimal wear on the tension cable.
