Abstract: A motorizable tilt shade system includes a header system where the header system includes an integral header attachment connection. At least one cord spool is provided within the header system and is connected with at least one suspension cord. A shade is suspended from the at least one suspension cord and a tilt cord pulley is connected with the at least one cord spool. A tilt cord is connected with the tilt cord pulley and with the shade such that the tilt cord and tilt cord pulley cooperate to tilt the shade. A drive shaft receiver is connected with the tilt cord pulley such that movement of the drive shaft receiver moves the tilt cord pulley.

Abstract: A window blind assembly includes a window frame and multiple slats are pivotably connected between two sides of the window frame. A driving plate is connected to the window frame and the slats are pivotably connected to the driving plate. An adjustment device has a case and a power unit is located in the case. The power unit is connected to an arm which has an elongate slot. A driven member is connected to the driving plate and has a guide rod which is movably engaged with the elongate slot. A control unit and a rechargeable battery are located in the case and respectively connected with the power unit. A solar power generating unit is connected to the control unit and the rechargeable battery. The angles of the slats are adjusted by the adjustment device via the power unit.

Abstract: According to the invention, a multilayer or insulating window pane (1) having at least two rigid panes (1P) and a spacer frame (1S) which connects these panes so as to form a tightly sealed intermediate space between the panes, and also an electrical component (3; for example motor, valve) which is arranged in the intermediate space between the panes, and also an associated electrical connection device is equipped with a detection device (4) for operating data of the component (3), which detection device cannot be manipulated from the outside but can be at least indirectly read off or read out. As a result, switch-on processes or times, maximum current consumption or operating temperature or the like, for example, can be detected and checked for servicing and/or monitoring purposes by reading out the operating data.

Abstract: A device for driving and turning the slats of a Venetian blind, with a bearing housing, a winding spool for a carrier band, a turning mechanism for tilting the slats, an abutment flange for fixing the angular end position for the slats and an actuating element, which can be brought into operative connection to the turning mechanism by means of a lost motion mechanism, for arresting the slats in a working position during lowering of the Venetian blind, at least the winding spool, the turning mechanism, the abutment flange, the actuating element and the lost motion mechanism being arranged in a common bearing housing.

Abstract: An apparatus for manipulating a camera lens includes a frame (32), a driving rod (34), a linking rod (36), and a driven rod (38). A guiding member (40) is formed on a side surface of the frame including a through hole (400) defined therein. One end of the driving rod pivotedly connected to the frame. One end of the linking rod is pivotedly connected to the other end of the driving rod. The driven rod extends through the through hole of the guiding member. One end of the driven rod is pivotedly connected to the other end of the linking rod, and the other end includes a lens-holder configured for holding the lens.
