    Abstract: The disclosed method enables control of an actuator for winding a blackout screen around a winding shaft. The actuator includes at least one electric motor. The method includes: at least one step that involves using an electronic unit to detect screen locking, during lowering or raising, by detecting a torque exerted by the motor on the winding shaft, the torque being determined on the basis of a current for supplying power to the motor; and a step that involves stopping the motor when a signal representing the detected current is greater than a threshold value. The electronic unit is parametrizable. Moreover, the method includes at least one additional step, used when the signal representing the detected current is less than the threshold value and involving detecting, on the basis of the detected current, a localized change in the shape of the screen, during lowering, by using the same electronic unit.

    Abstract: This motorized carriage for opening/closing a curtain is able to move along a rail thanks to a friction wheel driven by an electric motor and pivot mounted in a casing containing this electric motor. The casing is provided with at least two members for suspending it from the rail or from the rod, which include a support and/or a base element and at least one pivoting roller. The casing is equipped with at least one housing for partially accommodating and reversibly immobilizing each suspension member, so that the pivoting rollers or the shoes of the suspension members are mounted removably on the casing. The support is mounted, removably and via a rotational movement (F4), in the housing. Elements allow the support to be immobilized about its axis of rotation. The movement assembly (E) includes a casing and at least two sets of two suspension members.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a screen device (10) comprising a screen (16) movable between a retracted position and a deployed position, bearing on a load bar (12), and motorized by an installation comprising at least two winding units (24), each comprising a winding coil (26) associated with a driving gear motor (28), the winding coils (26) being guided to rotate relative to the box (18) mechanically independently from one another. A control circuit (32) synchronizes the two winding units (24) by driving each gear motor (28) so as to ensure the horizontal position of the load bar. To that end, the control circuit (32) is connected to one or more sensors (34), for example accelerometers, delivering a signal representative of the levelness of the load bar.

    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for winding a screen (12) comprises a winding drum (14) for winding the screen (12) which can rotate about an axis of rotation (16) with respect to a fixed frame of reference over more than one revolution between at least one first end-of-travel position and a second end-of-travel position, a motor assembly (30) comprising a motor (32) equipped with a stator (32.1) intended to be fixed to a fixed support (23, 26) and a rotor (32.2) kinematically connected to the winding drum (14). A first measurement assembly (51) comprises a first encoder (46) secured to the rotor (32.2), a first sensor for reading the first encoder (46) and generating a first counting signal when the first encoder (46) turns. First processing means (50) generate, as a function of the first counting signal, a first signal indicative of the position of the screen, which signal is monotonous when the drum moves from the first end-of-travel position to the second end-of-travel position. A second measurement assembly (64) makes it possible to detect at least one indexed position of the drum (14) per revolution of the drum in the fixed frame of reference. A calibration memory (56) stores at least one first calibration value for the first signal indicative of the position of the screen in the indexed position of the drum and at least one first quantitative algebraic comparison between a current value of the first signal indicative of the position of the screen as measured on passing through the indexed position during an observation phase and the first calibration value is delivered.
