Abstract: A curtain assembly comprises a rotatable drive element wherein at least one helical guide structure is formed on, or into, the outer surface of the drive element. A drive attachment element having a structure that communicates with the helical guide structure to move the drive attachment element axially along the drive element when the drive element is rotated. Specific embodiments incorporate either a manual or motor-driven rotation assembly for rotating the drive element. Further specific embodiments involve a helical guide structure that comprises a helical groove and a structure that comprises a tooth that engages with the helical groove. Further specific embodiments relate to a system with linked horizontal drapery panels having varying characteristics that are moved independently by a common drive system.

Abstract: A spring counterbalance apparatus and method consists of a shade system with a torque profile, where the shade system is connected with a drive shaft. A first spring system is connected with the drive shaft where the first spring system is a standard wound spring system. A second spring system is connected with the drive shaft where the second spring system is a reverse wound spring system and where, in combination, the first spring system and the second spring system produce a counterbalance torque profile approximately equal to the shade system torque profile.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relates to a motorized system for moving vertical blinds, curtains, draperies, or other window coverings. Specific embodiments can, optionally, also be manually operated. When motorized, the power supply can be batteries stored or housed in a tube or portion of a shaft, with a spring biased mechanism to assist during removal and/or loading of the batteries. In a specific embodiment, the stop can be triggered by the user to remove one battery at a time, and can allow the user to load batteries in a manner in which the battery or batteries already loaded in the chamber are held in the chamber. A specific embodiment incorporates a drapery tube with a hollow interior, or drapery shaft with one or more hollow portions, to form an enclosure that can house the motor and the power supply, such as batteries. If desired, the motor controls and an optional RF receiver for the motor can also be housed within the tube. In an embodiment, the batteries can be easily changed or replaced through the end of the tube or shaft, wherein the system has a stop, or release trigger, that can allow only one battery at a time to be loaded or unloaded, to assist in loading and unloading the batteries. In an embodiment, an end cap, such as a twist lock end cap can be positioned over the end of the tube or shaft when batteries are not being loaded or unloaded.
