US Patent:
20190292848, Sep 26, 2019
Filed:
Mar 18, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/356763
Inventors:

Assignee:
TTI (Macao Commercial Offshore) Limited - Macau
International Classification:
E06B 9/70
E06B 9/262
E06B 9/322
E06B 9/74
Abstract:
A motor module is configured to convert a manually-operable window covering assembly to a motorized window covering assembly. In one embodiment, the motor module includes output shaft that engage with couplers of the window covering assembly that receive a spring module when the assembly is in a manually-operated state. The couplers are displaceable such that the spring module and motor module may be either removed and inserted into the assembly. The motor module is made sufficiently compact to fit in the header by arranging a motor, battery, circuit board, and internal gearing system to efficiently use the space in the motor module. In another embodiment, a motorized converter module is configured to be installed on a manually-operated window covering assembly to convert the window covering assembly from a manually-operated state to a motorized stated without removing any components of the window covering assembly.

US Patent:
20180151006, May 31, 2018
Filed:
Nov 30, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/827124
Inventors:
- Macau, MO
Michael Preus - Piedmont SC, US
William McNabb - Anderson SC, US
International Classification:
G07C 9/00
E05B 47/00
G06F 3/16
H04M 1/725
H04W 4/00
Abstract:
A garage door opener remote control device performs secondary functions (other than opening and closing a garage door). The garage door opener remote control device includes a user input, a wireless communication interface to communicate with a garage door opener, and secondary components including sensory and actuatable components. A processor communicates a user input to the garage door opener to operate a motor configured to drive a garage door. The processor also detects stimuli in a space associated with the remote control device based on sensory data from the secondary sensor, determines a responsive action, and controls the secondary actuatable component or an accessory device of the garage door opener to perform the responsive action. The remote control device may function as a speaker phone or wireless communication device utilizing the secondary components. The secondary components may be connected to vehicle diagnostics and communicate vehicle status to users.
