Abstract: A motorized shading system may include a housing, a roller tube, a sheer shade material, and a bottom bar. The shading system may be configured such that opposed ends of the roller tube are adjustable relative to the housing. The shading system may include first and second sliding members that couple opposed ends of the roller tube to the housing and that are configured to translate along first and second rails defined by the housing. The bottom bar may define a cross-sectional profile such that when the shade material is in a closed position, a first lower most edge of the bottom bar is spaced from the roller tube by a first distance, and when the shade material is in a view position, a second lower most edge of the bottom bar is spaced from the roller tube by a second distance that is substantially equal to the first distance.

Abstract: An adjustable roller shade bracket comprising a first plate, a second plate and a bracket member. The bracket member is adapted for mounting to a surface. The second plate is rotationally secured to the bracket member. The first plate is releasably securable to an end of a roller tube of a roller shade and slidably secured to the second plate such that the first plate may be slid along the second plate in a first plane. Rotation of the second plate about the bracket member through 90 degrees permits the first plate to be slid along the second plate in a plane perpendicular to the first plane.

Abstract: The present application pertains to a system for adjusting the height of a covering, such as window or a wall covering formed of two or more covering segments that are axially aligned. The system includes a link that selectively transmits rotation between two adjacent coverage thereby allowing the two coverings to be controlled, e.g., raised or lowered, simultaneously. The link includes a clutch that allows one of the segments to be rotated with respect to the other so that the bottom end of one of the coverings can be adjusted and aligned horizontally independently of the other. Optionally, the clutch includes an internal member that provides a mechanical advantage while the one covering is adjusted.

Abstract: The present invention is an adjustable mounting bracket for mounting a roller blind to a surface such that the roller blind can be quickly leveled. The bracket includes first and second plates, the first plate having apertures to permit the first plate to be mounted to the surface. The second plate has a mounting fixture formed thereon for mounting to the roller blind. To permit the second plate to move relative to the first plate, the second plate is provided with an elongated groove formed thereon, the second plate being movably mounted to the first member by a mounting element fixed to the first plate and passing through the groove. The mounting element and groove are dimensioned and configured to permit the second plate to slide between a first and a second position. The position of the second plate relative to the first plate is adjusted by an adjustable moving mechanism which is configured to precisely position the second plate between its first and second positions.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a central support shaft that has an elongated shape provided with axially opposed ends. Rectilinear legs have opposed ends conjoined to the bottom support shaft end and extending outwardly therefrom at an oblique angle. The legs are pivotal between compressed and expanded positions. Auxiliary support shafts have elongated shapes provided with opposed medial and lateral ends. The auxiliary shafts are pivotally conjoined to the brackets and pivotal about the medial ends, such that the auxiliary shafts can be independently biased between vertical and horizontal positions. Brackets are attached to the central support shaft and spaced along a longitudinal length thereof. Clamps are positional along the auxiliary shafts. Each clamp is adaptable between open and closed positions for releasing and gripping the window blind. The window blind is centrally registered between the auxiliary support shafts during cleaning operations.

Abstract: A stand for movably supporting a workpiece is disclosed. The stand includes a base, a support and a plurality of roller assemblies. The support is releasably connected to the base for permitting the height of the stand to be altered. The roller assemblies are mounted on diverging surfaces which are in turn mounted at oblique angles relative to the support for permitting non-interfering movement of the workpiece relative thereto. Each roller assembly includes a sphere captured within a collar mounted on a selected one of the diverging surfaces for permitting free-rolling movement of the sphere relative to the collar and the workpiece.

Abstract: A cubicle door is comprised of first and second brackets for wrapping over the top edges of a cubicle panel on opposite sides of the entry way. A roller blind has a proxiinal end hinged to the first bracket, and a distal end which is removably supported on a support attached to the second bracket. The end of the roller blind is received in either one of perpendicular grooves on top of the support. The grooves allow the roller blind to meet the second support at different fixed angles to fit the shape of the entry way. Alternatively, a rotatable turret with a notch is arranged on the second bracket. The roller blind is received in the notch, and the second bracket may be oriented at different angles relative to the roller blind by rotating the turret.

Abstract: A curtain support system having a wall mounted bracket which has an outwardly extending bracket arm, and a mating curtain rod arm connected to or integral with a curtain rod. The rod arm and bracket arm are capable of being adjusted so that the curtain rod can assume positions which vary in distance from the supporting wall or window to which the bracket arm is attached. The bracket arm has a rack comprised of a series of slots formed on the upper edge thereof, and the rod arm has a bar which fits into each of the slots in the bracket arm. The bar, which is located along the top edge of the rod arm, cooperates with a stop on the lower edge of the rod arm to allow upward rotation of the rod arm, while limiting downward rotation. The bracket arm and rod arm have complementary interfitting C-shaped cross-sections which provide lateral stability to the system.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for supporting a rod or rods at varying heights horizontally along a pre-designated area comprising a first roller track containing a first guide roller, a second roller track containing a second guide roller, and a rod attachment bar secured to a first support shaft to which the first guide roller is rotatably secured, and secured to a second support shaft to which the second guide roller is rotatably secured, with height adjustment apparatus to raise or lower the rod attachment bar to which the rod or rods may be secured.

Abstract: A bracket unit for suspending a shaft end comprising essentially a bearing body which is provided with a curved recess for guiding and receiving the shaft end and with mounting tabs. The bearing body may be used as a bracket alone or in combination with a suspension means constructed to be coupled with the bearing body.

Abstract: A pair of metal plates, for being mounted either on a wall or opposite sides of a window frame, each metal plate including a tongue struck out from a center thereof, and bent at right angle, so as to support a window shade therebetween, in order to extend across a window, each metal plate being sidewardly adjustable by having longitudinal slots through which mounting screws are fitted, and each metal plate also including a "U"-shaped bent portion that is forwardly raised, and includes mounting holes for supporting either a double curtain rod bracket, a single curtain rod bracket, a large cafe rod bracket or for a traverse rod bracket.
