  • Patent number: 10934761
    Abstract: A sliding window for a building includes a stationary frame, an opening leaf, a motorized drive device, a fittings system, and a locking control device. The motorized drive device includes an electromechanical actuator, a flexible element, and a drive arm. The flexible element drives movement of the opening leaf with respect to the stationary frame when the actuator is electrically activated. The arm is connected both to a frame of the opening leaf and to the flexible element. The locking control device collaborates with a lock of the fittings system and is actuated by the flexible element when the actuator is electrically activated. The drive arm supports the locking control device. The fittings system also includes an errorproofing system. The locking control device actuates the lock following activation of the errorproofing system and when the actuator is electrically activated.

  • Patent number: 7726379
    Abstract: A device including a tube for winding and unwinding a screen which is controlled in rotation by a gear motor and which is supported on a fixed head and wherein a rotational part mounted within the tube is kinematically linked to rotate with the tube with the part including elements that are used to reflect a position of the rotational part and which elements are detected by senors that are connected to an electronic processing unit. A tightly sealed partition secured to the head is further provided to define, on one side, a first compartment for receiving at least the rotational part and, on the other side, a second compartment for receiving at least the electronic processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20050103450
    Abstract: This device comprises a tube for winding and unwinding the screen, controlled in rotation by a gear motor and supported by a fixed head, a part representative of the position and/or the displacement of the tube, kinematically linked to this tube and means for detecting the representative part, connected to an electronic processing unit. A tight partition fast with the head is further provided to define, on one side, a first compartment for receiving at least the representative part and, on the other side, a second compartment for receiving at least the electronic processing unit.
