Abstract
A static mitigation end cap, for an architectural covering is provided the covering may include a head rail having an end cap. The end cap may include housing extending along a longitudinal length of the head rail and defining a chamber, The end cap may include a printed circuit board received within the chamber arid configured to control a motor assembly operatively connected to the at least one end cap. The end cap may include an actuation member slidably coupled with the end cap for selective engagement with the printed circuit board.
Claims20
An architectural covering assembly comprising:
- an end cap that includes a housing and a side wall transverse to the housing;
- a motor assembly;
- a printed circuit board received within the housing of the end cap, wherein the printed circuit board is electrically coupled to the motor assembly, and wherein the electrical coupling includes wiring via an aperture of the end cap;
- and
- an actuation member slidably received within the side wall of the end cap to engage the printed circuit board such that the printed circuit board controls an operation of the motor assembly.
An architectural covering assembly comprising:
- an end cap that includes a housing defining an enclosure, wherein the end cap defines an aperture and includes a side wall transverse to the housing;
- a motor assembly;
- a printed circuit board contained in the enclosure of the housing, wherein the printed circuit board is electrically coupled to the motor assembly, and wherein the electrical coupling includes wiring between the printed circuit board and the motor assembly via the aperture;
- and
- an actuation member slidably received within the side wall of the end cap to engage the printed circuit board such that the printed circuit board actuates the motor assembly.
A method of using an architectural covering, the method comprising:
- accessing the architectural covering that includes:
- an end cap includes a housing and a side wall transverse to the housing;
- a motor assembly;
- a printed circuit board received within the housing of the end cap, wherein the printed circuit board is electrically coupled to the motor assembly, and wherein the electrical coupling includes wiring between the printed circuit board and the motor assembly via the end cap;
- and
- an actuation member received within the side wall of the end cap;
- and
- sliding the actuation member to engage the printed circuit board such that the printed circuit board controls an operation of the motor assembly.
An architectural covering assembly comprising:
- an end cap;
- a motor assembly;
- a printed circuit board received within the end cap, wherein the printed circuit board is electrically coupled to the motor assembly;
- an actuation member movably received within the end cap;
- and
- a light source, wherein the actuation member is movably received within the end cap to engage the printed circuit board such that the printed circuit board causes control of the motor assembly and the light source.
