BATTERY-POWERED MOTORIZED WINDOW TREATMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044204 titled 'BATTERY-POWERED MOTORIZED WINDOW TREATMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a motorized window treatment system. The system includes a roller tube, a flexible material, a motor drive unit, and mounting brackets. The roller tube can rotate around a longitudinal axis to raise or lower the flexible material. The motor drive unit is housed in a cavity and powered by one or more batteries. It includes a control circuit with a switch and an actuation member to transfer force and actuate the switch.
- Roller tube: Configured to rotate and operate the flexible material between raised and lowered positions.
- Motor drive unit: Includes a housing, cavity, motor, batteries, and a control circuit.
- Control circuit: Mounted on a printed circuit board and includes a switch.
- Actuation member: Transfers force to actuate the switch within the housing cavity.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Residential and commercial window treatments
- Smart homes and automation systems
- Energy-efficient window coverings
Problems solved by this technology:
- Manual operation of window treatments
- Difficulties in reaching and adjusting high windows
- Inconvenience of adjusting window coverings individually
Benefits of this technology:
- Convenience and ease of use
- Improved accessibility for high windows
- Energy savings through automated control of window coverings
Original Abstract Submitted
a motorized window treatment may include a roller tube, a flexible material, a motor drive unit, and mounting brackets. the roller tube may be configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis that defines a longitudinal direction to operate the flexible material between a raised position and a lowered position. the motor drive unit may include a housing that defines a cavity that receives a motor and one or more batteries for powering the motor drive unit. the motor drive unit may include a printed circuit board to which a control circuit is mounted. the control circuit may comprise a switch. the motor drive unit may comprise an actuation member configured to transfer a first force applied in a first direction at an end portion of the motor drive unit to a second force in a second direction within the cavity of the housing to actuate the switch.
