Abstract: It includes a coiler device for blinds foreseen for being connected to the ends of an axis (1) of a winding-on drum (2); that it involves a support portion connected with retention by interlocking of at least a defined elastic element in a support element (3) for its fixation to a ceiling (4) or in a wall, so that this support portion extends radially with respect to the axis (1) of the drum (2) and involves a cavity with an access opening, and because the support element (3) incorporates two fins (9), with elastic deformation and fits to pressure within the mentioned cavity capable of showing through two windows (10) one in front of the other of the mentioned cavity.

Abstract: Header to support one end of a rewind roll and to close off at least one end of the casing, used particularly for fly screens, includes: a bottom from which, along the perimeter of the side close to the casing, there is a discontinuous border that protrudes, with a number of seats for fitting the corresponding end of the said header; and a flat, monolithic part formed in the said bottom that protrudes downwards, with holes formed on the surface in order to fasten it to the uprights of an opening; wherein, in a bottom, there is a central hole with a key-way into which the end of a pin is connected and thus fixed to the part of the header. The end is mushroom shaped and is flexible, and fits into a hollow in the rear part, that is, on the side on the outside of the header.

Abstract: The bracket comprising an L-shaped mount defined by perpendicular plates having top and bottom bridging walls apertured in vertical alignment, the bottom wall formed with a blocking surface. The bracket also comprises a leaf plate having aligned upward and downward ears which pivot in the respective apertures, and the dimensions of the plate permit some vertical movement of the plate so that it can clear the blocking surface. The plate has a perpendicular flat tongue adapted to slip into a slot at one end of the shade to immobilize a portion of the power unit. The blocking surface keeps the plate from swinging open.

Abstract: A control and suspension system for a retractable covering mounted on a rotating element includes an apparatus for mechanically limiting over-extensions of the covering and an apparatus for mechanically limiting over-retractions of the covering. The control and suspension system also includes an apparatus to compensate for any undesirable skewing of the covering that might occur. Finally, the control and suspension system also includes a bottom rail that attaches to the bottom of the covering by trapping a portion of the covering between a compression plate and a bottom plate.

Abstract: A break-away bracket for mounting and supporting window coverings has a mounting base and one or more break-away segments. The segments are interconnected end to end along frangible connections and extend from the mounting base. Each of the one or more break-away segments has a support element extending from one end. A most distal one of the support elements is exposed for supporting or mounting window coverings. Upon removal of the most distal one of the break-away segments or removal of more than one of the segments, a next adjacent one of the support elements becomes exposed for supporting or mounting window coverings.

Abstract: An adjustable-width spring-operated roller shade that maintains proper orthogonal tracking at all available widths within the shade's range of width adjustment. The adjustable-width roller shade utilizes two overlapping window shades and a telescoping roller to provide a shade that is repeatedly width-adjustable within its original range of width adjustment. To keep the shade sufficiently perpendicular to the roller as the shade winds onto the roller, orthogonal tracking spacers, such as continuous, pliable strips constructed from the same material as the shades, are attached to non-overlapped portions of the shade material to compensate for the extra layers of material existing at the overlapped portion of the shades. Thus, the roller shade maintains proper orthogonal tracking of the shade at all available widths within the shade's range of width adjustment.

Abstract: An end cap and mounting support combination comprising an end cap (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) disengagably engagable with a support bracket (3) and one of the end cap and the support bracket being provided with: a laterally open slot (20, 120, 220, 320, 420) for accommodating an axially extending protuberance (21) on the other of the end cap and the support bracket; and closing means to prevent the protuberance from escaping from the laterally open slot; wherein the closing means comprises a rotatable locking collar (19, 119, 219, 319, 419) surrounding the laterally open slot and having a circumferential entrance opening (23, 123, 223, 323, 423) which can be aligned with the laterally open slot by rotation of the locking collar relative to the laterally open slot from a closed position to an open position, thereby selectively providing access to the laterally open slot through the circumferential entrance opening.

Abstract: A connector for securing a side support for a roller shaft to a slideway for guiding closure selectively wound about the roller shaft wherein the connector includes a tab having a lower portion engaging the slideway and an upper portion engageable with the side support for the roller shaft. The connector further includes an elastic lock member insertable within an opening in the tab for securing the tab to the side support for the closure member by way of at least two resilient hooks associated with the elastic lock member which are engageable with the tab and the side support for the roller shaft.

Abstract: A paper roll supporting device for an image forming apparatus includes a pair of flange members to be inserted into opposite ends of a paper roll. Each flange member includes a flange body made up of a flange portion and a cylindrical support portion that is to be inserted into a tubular core included in the paper roll. A claw member has a plurality of claws capable of protruding from the outer circumference of the support portion. A biasing member exerts a pressure on the claw member. Pressing means is slidable in a direction in which the biasing member is compressible. The pressing means receives one end of the biasing member and contacts the inner circumference of the support portion. A lock/release lever is capable of being brought down for causing the pressing means to slide. The claw member causes its pawls to flare in the radial direction when pressed in the axial direction of the support portion. The device with this configuration can be easily locked to the paper roll.

Abstract: A shade assembly for a vehicle windshield includes an axle secured at its ends to two side brackets attachable at the windshield top at two opposite sides of the windshield. The axle is also supported at its middle portion by an intermediate bracket secured to the top of the windshield. Two hollow cylindrical shafts are arranged between the intermediate bracket and the two side brackets, respectively, for rotation about respective sections of the axle. Two flexible shade members made of a tinted and polarized flexible plastic material are secured to the two hollow shafts, respectively, at one of their opposite longitudinal edges so as to be unwound and rewound upon respective rotation of the hollow shafts.
