Abstract
An actuation assembly for a continuous looped operator includes a slide assembly configured to laterally slide in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction, a first cord engagement member carried by the slide assembly, a second cord engagement member carried by the slide assembly, and a selector switch connected to the slide assembly, the selector switch receives a portion of the first cord engagement member and a portion of the second cord engagement member, the selector switch configured to move relative to the slide assembly between a first position and a second position.
Claims29
An actuation assembly for a continuous looped operator comprising:
- a slide assembly configured to laterally slide in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction;
- a first cord engagement member carried by the slide assembly;
- a second cord engagement member carried by the slide assembly;
- and
- a selector switch rotatably connected to the slide assembly, the selector switch receives a portion of the first cord engagement member and a portion of the second cord engagement member, the selector switch configured to rotate move-relative to the slide assembly between a first position and a second position,
- wherein in response to the selector switch being moved to the first position and in response to the slide assembly laterally sliding in the first direction, the first cord engagement member is restricted from moving relative to the slide assembly and the second cord engagement member moves relative to the slide assembly to a first position, and
- wherein in response to the selector switch being moved to the first position and in response to the slide assembly laterally sliding in the second direction, the first cord engagement member is restricted from moving relative to the slide assembly and the second cord engagement member moves relative to the slide assembly to a second position to engage a first portion of the continuous looped operator such that the first portion of the continuous looper operator travels with the slide assembly in the second direction.

- and
- a selector switch rotatably connected to the slide assembly, the selector switch configured to rotate relative to the slide assembly between a first position and a second position,
- wherein in response to the selector switch being in the first position and the slide assembly moving in the first direction, the first cord engagement member is restricted from moving relative to the slide assembly and the second cord engagement member moves relative to the slide assembly out of engagement with the continuous looped operator, and
- wherein in response to the selector switch being in the first position and the slide assembly moving in the second direction, the first cord engagement member is restricted from moving relative to the slide assembly and the second cord engagement member moves relative to the slide assembly into engagement with the continuous looped operator.
