Shade motor with power supplied through brackets

A shade assembly comprising:

• a shade drive unit adapted to raise and lower shade material, the shade drive unit comprising a motor, at least one battery electrically connected to the motor, and a motor head disposed at a terminal end of the shade drive unit, wherein the motor head comprises a first locking member and a motor head interface;
• and
• an installation bracket adapted to be secured to an architectural structure and comprising a second locking member, an installation bracket interface, and a peripheral wall comprising an installation bracket connector electrically connected to the installation bracket interface, wherein the installation bracket connector is adapted to removably connect to and electrically interface with a power adapter;
• wherein the motor head is adapted to removably attach to the installation bracket by connecting the first locking member to the second locking member and thereby aligning and electrically connecting the motor head interface with the installation bracket interface, and wherein the installation bracket is adapted to provide electrical power to the at least one battery when the installation bracket is connected to the power adapter.

A roller shade assembly comprising:

• a roller shade adapted to raise and lower shade material comprising a roller tube, a motor and at least one battery disposed within the roller tube, and a motor head disposed at a terminal end of the roller tube, wherein the motor head comprises a first locking member and a motor head interface;
• and
• an installation bracket adapted to be secured to an architectural structure and comprising a second locking member, an installation bracket interface, and an exterior wall comprising an installation bracket connector electrically connected to the installation bracket interface, wherein the installation bracket connector is adapted to removably connect to and electrically interface with a power adapter;
• wherein the motor head is adapted to removably attach to the installation bracket by connecting the first locking member to the second locking member and thereby aligning and electrically connecting the motor head interface with the installation bracket interface, wherein the installation bracket is adapted to provide electrical power to the at least one battery when the installation bracket is connected to the power adapter, and wherein the motor head is stationary with respect to the installation bracket when the roller tube rotates.
