| 20120061034 | Slim Bottom Bar Wedge Lock - There is disclosed a bottom bar for attachment to a lower edge of a window blind. The bottom bar includes an elongated tube having a bottom and a pair of opposing side walls separated by a space and an elongated slit extending along the tube, the slit communicating with the space. The slit is dimensioned to permit the lower edge of the window blind to pass through. The bottom bar further includes an elongated lock member dimensioned to fit within the space, the elongated lock member dimensioned to be too small to pass through the slit. The lock member has a flat side wall for attachment to the lower edge of the window blind by an adhesive. The opposing side walls of the elongated tube are tapered toward each other from the bottom towards the slit such that the opposing side walls abut the flat side wall of the lock member when the lock member moves towards the slit. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20090236051 | BOTTOM SEALS FOR A HORIZONTAL SIDE-ROLLING DOOR CURTAIN - A sideways rollup door with a horizontal side-rolling curtain includes a replaceable bottom seal that is zippered or otherwise removably connected to the curtain at an inclined joint. The inclination of the joint ensures that the joint wraps upon the curtain's take-up roller in an approximate helical pattern so as to prevent the joint from creating a concentrated bulge on the roller. In some cases, there is extra space underneath the roller to provide roll-up room for the bottom seal, which can be relatively thick. Such extra space could be further used to accommodate a seal joint and/or other curtain seams that are not necessarily inclined. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20080216970 | Sunshade assembly suitable for an arcuate window - A sunshade assembly includes a pair of mounting seats, an arcuate rotatable shaft, and a flexible screen body. The rotatable shaft is tubular in shape, defines a curved rotational axis, is coupled rotatably to the mounting seats, and is formed with recesses so as to be rotatable about the curved rotational axis. The flexible screen body is wound on the rotatable shaft. The rotatable shaft is operable to rotate about the curved rotational axis for winding and unwinding the flexible screen body. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20100108272 | AIR BARRIER FOR DATACENTER USAGE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY RETRACTS WHEN FIRE SPRINKLERS ARE ACTIVATED - An air barrier structure located in an airflow passageway for datacenter usage, which is automatically retractable upon activation of fire sprinklers in the event of a conflagration. The barrier structure is a shade-type roll up member, which in the absence of any complex mechanical structure, will automatically retract about a spring-loaded roller upon the activation of a fire sprinkler, and whereby the barrier incorporates water-soluble structural aspects which will facilitate such automatic retraction upon being impinged upon and dissolved by a flow of water emanating from the fire sprinkler. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20120018105 | SUNSHADE - A sunshade includes a roller and a screen. The roller has an intermediate portion, two end portions extending respectively from opposite ends of the intermediate portion, and a screen-stretching portion disposed on an outer surrounding surface of the intermediate portion. The screen has a main body and two lateral portions. The main body is wound on the screen-stretching portion and the intermediate portion of the roller and has opposite ends. The lateral portions are connected respectively to the opposite ends of the main body and are wound respectively on the end portions of the roller. | 01-26-2012 |
| 20090044919 | REFLECTIVE WINDOW BLINDS - A window blind that includes at least one blind element having a front surface and a back surface. Either the front surface or the back surface of each element can include a reflective material having a reflectivity of at least about 50%. Also disclosed is a method of controlling heat exchange through a transparent or translucent material, that includes attaching a reflective window blind to an interior wall of a shelter. The window blind being oriented such that the one or more blind elements can be manipulated to obscure a window in the interior wall. The window blind elements can then be adjusted such that the reflective material faces an interior of the shelter or an exterior of the shelter. The blind elements can be opaque, transparent or translucent. | 02-19-2009 |
