Claims18
A bead saddle attachment component, comprising:
- a body;
- a plurality of bead saddle features on an exterior side of the body;
- a spacer bracket receiving feature on the exterior side of the body to receive a spacer bracket that ensures the bead saddle attachment component when paired with a second bead saddle attachment component are spaced apart by an equal distance as other pairs of bead saddle attachment components on a barrel;
- and
- an alignment feature on the exterior side of the body to align the bead saddle attachment component with second bead saddle attachment component and the other pairs of bead saddle attachment components on the barrel wherein the alignment feature comprises:
- a first channel cut out along an edge of the exterior side of the body and positioned between a first pair of the plurality of bead saddle features;
- and
- a second channel cut out along the edge of the exterior side of the body and positioned between a second pair of the plurality of bead saddle features.

An apparatus for a rolling door system, comprising:
- a barrel;
- a first bead saddle attachment component;
- and
- a second bead saddle attachment component, wherein the barrel is fitted through a central opening of the first bead saddle attachment component and a central opening of the second bead saddle attachment component, wherein the first bead saddle attachment component and the second bead saddle attachment component each comprise:
- a body;
- a plurality of bead saddle features on an exterior side of the body;
- a spacer bracket receiving feature on the exterior side of the body to receive a spacer bracket that ensures the first bead saddle attachment component and the second bead saddle attachment component are spaced apart by an equal distance as other pairs of bead saddle attachment components on the barrel;
- and
- an alignment feature on the exterior side of the body to align the first bead saddle attachment component with second bead saddle attachment component and the other pairs of bead saddle attachment components on the barrel, wherein the alignment feature comprises:
- a first channel cut out along an edge of the exterior side of the body and positioned between a first pair of the plurality of bead saddle features;
- and
- a second channel cut out along the edge of the exterior side of the body and positioned between a second pair of the plurality of bead saddle features.

A rolling door system, comprising:
- a barrel;
- a first bead saddle attachment component coupled to the barrel;
- a second bead saddle attachment component coupled to the barrel;
- a spacer bracket coupled to the first bead saddle attachment component and the second bead saddle attachment component to ensure that the first bead saddle attachment component and the second bead saddle attachment component are spaced apart by an equal distance as other pairs of bead saddle attachment component on the barrel;
- and
- a curtain coupled to the spacer bracket, wherein the curtain comprises a plurality of slats movably coupled together to form a plurality of beads along hinges formed where the plurality of slats are movably coupled together, wherein the first bead saddle attachment component and the second bead saddle attachment component each comprises:
- a body;
- a plurality of bead saddle features on an exterior side of the body to receive a bead of the curtain when the curtain is rotated into an open position;
- and
- a spacer bracket receiving feature on the exterior side of the body to receive an end of the spacer bracket;
- and
- an alignment feature on the exterior side of the body to align the first bead saddle attachment component with second bead saddle attachment component and the other pairs of bead saddle attachment components on the barrel, wherein the alignment feature comprises:
- a first channel cut out along an edge of the exterior side of the body and positioned between a first pair of the plurality of bead saddle features;
- and
- a second channel cut out along the edge of the exterior side of the body and positioned between a second pair of the plurality of bead saddle features.
