HIGH EFFICIENCY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ONE OR MORE ROLLER SHADES

摘要

The present invention is directed, in part, to a high efficiency manually controlled or motorized roller shade device, the device being capable of rolling and unrolling one or more window or other type of shade simultaneously employing use of a single motor. The invention employs several elements including roller shades, optionally, a motorized device capable of rolling and unrolling shade coverings, one or more grudgens configured on either side of the roller shades, with each grudgen containing in its center a square hole that receives a square rod, the square rod acting to connect a first shade roller to a second shade roller, the second shade roller being configured adjacent to the first shade roller. The addition of more grudgens to additional shade rollers allows the single manually controlled or motorized device to control the rolling and unrolling of multiple shade rollers simultaneously without the need for multiple rolling motors.

主权项

1. A roller shade controlling apparatus comprising a shade system, said shade system comprising one or more roller shades, one or more brackets, one or more grudgens, one or more square rods, said one or more grudgens comprising a bushing, said grudgens also including a center area configured with a square hole and a round protrusion, said square rods being configured to fit within said square hole of said one or more grudgens wherein said grudgens are configured on both ends of said one or more roller shades, wherein said square rods interconnect said one or more roller shades so that when a first interconnected roller shade is rolled or unrolled, all other interconnected roller shades are rolled or unrolled simultaneously said interconnection comprising the steps of fitting a first end of a first square rod into said square hole of a first grudgen, said first grudgen being fitted onto one end of a first roller shade and wherein the other end of said square rod is fitted into the square hole of a second grudgen, wherein said second grudgen is fitted onto a second roller shade thereby interconnecting said first roller shade to said second roller shade wherein a user interconnects as many roller shades as desired.
