Abstract: A friction hinge comprising a shaft and a band including a spring portion which is rotatable relative to the shaft and wrapped tightly about the shaft for providing frictional torque between the shaft and spring portion is provided. The shaft includes a contact member for engaging the spring portion when the spring portion is rotated in one of two rotational directions and reaches a selected rotational position with respect to the shaft. Further rotation of the shaft in that direction causes the spring portion to loosen about the shaft.

Abstract: There is disclosed a window shade system which reduces heat transport through windows by providing an insulating seal between a shade and window sill. The insulating seal is effected by a resilient material attached to the bottom longitudinal edge section of the shade. When the bottom longitudinal edge section of the shade is positioned in engagement with the sill, the resilient material conforms to the contour of the sill, frictionally sealing the shade against the sill, thereby insulating and reducing heat transport through the window. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the bottom longitudinal edge section includes a first depending longitudinal slat pocket for receiving a window shade slat, and a second depending longitudinal pocket configured to substantially enclose the slat pocket. A longitudinal void is provided between the pockets to permit the enclosing pocket to resiliently conform to the contour of the sill.

Abstract: There is disclosed a hinge assembly that has a pintle and two plates that can rotate about the axis of the pintle. The first plate is irrotatably affixed to the pintle. The second plate is part of a friction element which also includes a band having a plurality of turns helically disposed about the pintle. Between the other end of the band and the second plate there is a spring that tightens the band about the pintle. The band is flexible enough so that it does not grip the pintle without the force of the spring. Frictional force is developed between the band and the pintle that opposes movement of the second plate in a direction that tends to tighten the band about the pintle. Movement of the second plate in the opposite direction tends to loosen the band's grip on the pintle so that very little frictional force is developed.

Abstract: A bi-directional spring clutch having a cylindrical input element mounted on a cylindrical output element, with a wrap spring disposed between them. A control element, in the form of a cylinder, is rotatably mounted on the input element for assuming one of three discrete positions relative to the input element. A key on the control element extends through a window of the input element and is disposed between the ends of the wrap spring. When the control element is in either of its extreme positions, turning of the input element controls tightening of the spring and the transmission of torque, the direction of torque transmission depending upon the position of the control element. Rotation of the input element in the opposite direction results in the key unwrapping the spring so that there is not torque transmission. When the control element is in its middle position, the key bears against neither end of the spring, and torque is transmitted in both directions of rotation of the input element.

Abstract: A spring clutch assembly with reduced radial bearing forces is described. The clutch includes a shaft, at least first and second helically wound axially mounted springs for making frictional contact with the shaft, and engaging means corresponding to each of the first and second springs for selectively applying a tightening force to one end of each of the springs in order to prevent rotation with respect to the shaft. Each of the engaging means is radially and symmetrically disposed along the shaft for eliminating radial bearing force induced by the spring ends.

Abstract: Headrail hardware to lift and tilt a Venetian blind is provided. A single control operates both the lift and the tilt function. A multiturn band brake tilter is used with each ladder cord in a way that reduces the frictional forces encountered in lifting or lowering the blind. One end of each of the ladder cords is attached to an arm of its tilter. The tilters are disposed directly about the rotating drive rod with no intermediate parts, and are supported by cradles that mount in the headrail rather than by the drive rod as in prior art blinds. The drive rod rotates the tilters and the lifting mechanism until the tilters contact stops built into each of the cradles. Further rotation keeps the blind fully tilted while lifting or lowering of the blind continues. In the preferred embodiment, the lift cords are attached to the drive rod, which traverses to accumulate the cords in a single layer as the rod is rotated to lift the blind. The rotation of the rod within the tilters greatly reduces the lateral force needed to traverse the rod. An innovative bearing support is provided so that the weight of the blind is transferred from the tilter directly to the cradle, further reducing the frictional drag on the traversing rod.

Abstract translation: 提供扶手和倾斜百叶窗的扶手硬件。 单个控制操作同时提升和倾斜功能。 每个梯形绳使用多圈带制动倾斜器，以减少提升或降低盲板时遇到的摩擦力。 每条梯绳的一端连接到其倾斜臂的臂上。 倾斜器直接设置在旋转的驱动杆周围，没有中间部分，并且由现有技术的百叶窗中安装在头轨而不是驱动杆的托架支撑。 驱动杆旋转倾斜器和提升机构，直到倾斜接触件停止内置在每个托架中。 进一步旋转会使盲板完全倾斜，同时提升或降低盲人的持续。 在优选实施例中，提升帘线附接到驱动杆，当杆被旋转以提升盲板时，驱动杆横向移动以将绳索累积在单层中。 杆内倾斜的旋转大大降低了穿过杆所需的横向力。 提供了一种创新的轴承支撑，使得盲板的重量从倾斜器直接传递到支架，进一步减小了横动杆上的摩擦阻力。

Abstract: A spring clutch which has multiple springs disposed between two coaxially mounted cylindrical elements. The springs are designed to slip so that all of the springs are required to support the maximum load. During the onset of rotation, tabs at the ends of the springs contact the load surfaces on one of the cylindrical elements sequentially, with some slippage occurring, so that impulse is reduced. In different embodiments, either releasing or reversing the clutch re-establishes offsets between spring tabs so that the sequential contact can again occur.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pivoting joint that has two stable positions. The pivoting joint is comprised of two housing elements that can rotate co-axially with respect to one another. A spring, generally in the shape of a modified hairpin, is contained within the two housing elements. The two ends of the spring fit into holes in one housing element, and the closed end of the spring is held, substantially irrotatably, in the other housing element. The spring urges the two housing elements to one or the other rotational extreme with respect to one another.
