Headrail, including a trap door for accessing batteries for powered coverings for architectual openings

摘要

A headrail including a battery holder mounted within an interior of the headrail and a trap door for access to the batteries being held by the battery holder is disclosed. The headrail comprises a housing defining an interior into which a battery holder is mounted. In this manner, the batteries are hidden within the headrail for a more aesthetically pleasing look than can be achieved when the batteries are mounted outside of the headrail. The housing includes a large opening in its bottom wall to which the batteries may be accessed, and a trap door that selectively covers or uncovers the large opening. The trap door is swingably mounted on a battery bracket, and the trap door and battery bracket cooperate to facilitate easy removal and replacement of batteries into the headrail housing.
