Abstract:
Method of configuring equipment in a home automation installation, each item of equipment being identified thanks to an identifier recorded in memory and duplicated on an accessible medium so as to be visible, the configuring method using a configuring tool comprising an inputting means, a signal transmission means and at least a first memory and a second memory, the method comprising several iterations of the following steps: the step of generating, in the configuring tool, a message comprising the content of the first memory intended for receiving, after an input, the identifier of an item of equipment and the content of the second memory intended for receiving, after an input, information of a first type; the step of transmitting, by the radio signal transmission means, the message in the form of an electromagnetic signal; and the step of carrying out, in the item of equipment, an action at least partially determined by the information of the first type.
Abstract:
The control device includes a switch (12) controlling the power supply to the motor and an actuator which actuates this switch by rotatably reacting against the moving object being restrained so as to cause said switch to be opened and to cut off the power supply to the motor. This actuator consists of a bistable mechanical device (11) capable of taking up a first state in which the switch (12) is closed and a second state in which the switch is open. The actuating device also includes a cable (17) for putting the actuating device into its first state, this device being brought into its second state by reacting against the moving object.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cord winder (1) for a window-covering device, said cord winder including: a drum (7) for winding a cord (40), said drum being rotatable around a first rotationally symmetrical axis (A-A′); and a means (12, 13b) for guiding the cord to the winding drum, the winding drum being rotatably mounted in a holder (2). Said cord winder is characterized in that it includes a rotatable roller (14) that is mounted onto the holder along a second rotationally symmetrical axis (B-B′). Said cord winder is moreover characterized in that it includes a friction area (23) wherein at least one coil of the cord, wound onto the winding drum, is in contact with the rotatable drum.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electric motor having a rotor and a coiled stator, the rotor including a shaft and two disks that are rotatably fixed to the shaft and provided with permanent magnets, a so-called outer portion of the stator extending from each disk axially parallel to a rotational axis of the rotor and radially beyond same, from the axis. The stator includes a plurality of disjointed bars consisting of a magnetically conductive material, certain parts of which form the outer portion of the stator. The stator also has a carrier structure holding the bars such that they are fixed in relation to each other, said carrier structure being mounted in such a way that it can rotate on the shaft, axially outside the two disks. The outer portion of the stator extends parallel to the rotational axis, axially outside the disks of the rotor, up to the carrier structure.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a coupling device (200) to be installed between an output shaft and an input shaft, such as an output shaft of an electric motor and an input shaft of a reducing gear of an actuator for driving a screen or a hatch that is part of home-automation equipment for closure, solar protection, or projection. Said coupling device (200) includes a first member (201) which is rotatably secured, or suitable for being rotatably secured, to the output shaft, and which is provided with at least one longitudinal outer groove (2013), and a second member (202) which is rotatably secured, or suitable for being rotatably secured, to the input shaft, and which is provided with at least one longitudinal outer groove (2023). Said coupling device (200) further includes an element (203) for rotatably coupling the first and second members together, which has, on at least one surface (2031) thereof, at least two series (S1, S2) of lugs (204) projecting from said surface, wherein the lugs (204) are inserted into the longitudinal outer groove (2013) of the first member (201) and the longitudinal outer groove (2023) of the second member (202), respectively.
Abstract:
The command-transmitting device comprises control buttons (11, 12) and a movable control element (2b) movable in two directions along a theoretical axis of operation (D1), these control buttons and this movable control element being arranged on a first face (24) of the transmitting device, in which device the buttons (11, 12) are positioned outside of an exclusion zone (A) defined by two straight lines (C1, C2) intersecting in the center of the movable element and forming an angle (α) of 60°, the bisector of which is parallel to the theoretical axis of operation, and by a circle (21) whose center is on the center of the movable element and whose circumference is separated from the latter by a distance (d) of 20 mm, and the buttons (11, 12) controlling the movements of the slats in opposite directions are arranged on either side of the movable element (2b).
