Abstract: A home-automation equipment includes a concealing device including a screen, a holding device of the screen, a first motorized drive device and an autonomous electrical energy supply device. The first device includes an electromechanical actuator which makes it possible to raise and lower the screen. The supply device includes a battery arranged on the holding device of the screen, a power supply cable and an electrical connection element that is electrically connected to the battery by the cable, the element being designed to be connected to an external electrical supply source, in order to recharge the battery. The concealing device includes a second motorized drive device including an electromechanical actuator making it possible to wind and unwind the cable on a winding spool.

Abstract: A motorized drive device includes a housing, electric motor, drive wheel, first and second holding devices, first elastic return element, drive unit inside the housing, and switching mechanism. The drive unit includes a casing, the electric motor and the drive wheel. The drive wheel is supported on a rail running surface, by the first elastic return element. With the motor activated, the casing inclines inside the housing relative to a median plane of the housing. The switching mechanism drives a first guide wheel of the first holding device between first and second positions, in which the motorized drive device is mounted and dismounted, respectively, relative to the rail. In the first position with the electric motor activated, the drive wheel is supported on the rail running surface, by the first elastic return element which is supported on a wall in the housing and is rotated by the electric motor.

Abstract: A shading device comprises a power supply device comprising a battery, a first and a second electrical connection elements and a resilient element. The battery is disposed at a holding device for holding the screen. The first element is disposed at a load bar or the screen and configured so as to be electrically connected to an external electrical supply source. The second element is disposed at the holding device and configured to cooperate with the first element. The resilient element is configured to be fixed on the load bar or on the screen. The first element is integral with the resilient element. Furthermore, the resilient element is configured to compensate a misalignment of the first electrical connection element with respect to the second electrical connection element, when the screen reaches a position for recharging the battery.

Abstract: An electromechanical actuator is integrated into a blackout or sun-shading device that includes a screen, top and bottom bars, ang top and bottom winding shafts. The screen is between the bars. The top bar is connected to the top winding shaft by first cords. The bottom bar is connected to the bottom winding shaft by second cords. The electromechanical actuator includes first and second transmission devices and an electric motor that drives the shafts. The first transmission device connects to the motor and the top winding shaft and includes a first clutch. The second transmission device connects to the electric motor and the bottom winding shaft and includes a second clutch. When the motor is activated with only one clutch engaged, only one winding shaft is rotated. Moreover, when the motor is activated electrically and the clutches are engaged, the winding shafts are rotated by the motor.

Abstract: A sun protection apparatus includes a shading device, including an upper bar, a lower bar and a screen disposed between the upper and lower bars. The apparatus also includes a motorized drive device, designed to deploy and fold away the screen, including a first electromechanical actuator, configured to move the upper bar, a second electromechanical actuator, configured to move the lower bar, and a control unit, configured to control the first and second actuators. The control unit controls the first actuator so as to move the upper bar then the second actuator so as to move the lower bar depending on the position and/or movement of the upper bar, or vice versa.

Abstract: A motorized drive device includes an electric motor, a first holding device and a first switching mechanism. In a first position of the first mechanism, a first guide wheel of the first holding device is offset relative to a second guide wheel of the first holding device, so as to hold the motorized drive device relative to a rail by supporting the first and second guide wheels with respective first and second tracks of the rail. Furthermore, in a second position of the first mechanism, the first guide wheel is positioned opposite the second guide wheel, in a direction of movement of the motorized drive device along the rail, so as to insert or extract the first and second guide wheels into or from the rail, through a slot of the rail.
