A motorized door shade assembly comprising:
- a housing containing a motor, the motor to operate a gear system including at least one pulley and a cord spooled about the pulley to open and close a shade screen via a pull bar;
- two or more springs biased to maintain tension on the cord during motorized extension and retraction of the pull bar, the pull bar moving along a track system configured to lock a zipper into the track system, wherein the track system comprises a pair of channels, wherein one of the channels is configured to receive and engage the zipper fixed to opposing vertical edges of the shade screen, the zipper being guided and retained within the channels during extension and retraction, and
- wherein the pull bar moves horizontally to extend and retract the shade screen along at least one of a top, bottom, or side edge of the shade screen to extend and retract the shade screen, maintaining the zipper in continuous alignment with the track system, and wherein the shade screen is rollable upon a roller concealed within the housing when in a retracted position.
A motorized door shade assembly, comprising:
- a housing including a left side portion, a right side portion, a top portion and a bottom portion, the housing containing a motor, the motor to operate a gear system including at least one pulley and a cord spooled about the pulley to open and close a shade screen via a pull bar;
- and
- two or more springs biased to maintain tension on the cord during motorized extension and retraction of the pull bar, the pull bar moving along a track system configured to lock a zipper into the track system provided on the top portion and the bottom portion, the track system including at least one channel to permit the sliding engagement between the shade screen and the track system, wherein the track system comprises a pair of channels, wherein one of the channels is configured to receive and engage the zipper fixed to opposing vertical edges of the shade screen, the zipper being guided and retained within the channels during extension and retraction, and
- wherein the pull bar moves horizontally to extend and retract the shade screen along at least one of a top, bottom, or side edge of the shade screen to extend and retract the shade screen, maintaining the zipper in continuous alignment with the track system, and wherein the shade screen is rollable upon a roller concealed within the housing when in a retracted position.
