Abstract
The invention relates to the recovery of the potential energy from the apron of a roller blind including driving means provided with a motor connected to autonomous supply means during the expansion or retraction phase of the apron. More particularly, during the expansion or retraction phase of the apron, the method comprises determining an energy recovery phase corresponding to a motor torque applied by the apron on the driving means. The invention also allows energy recovery without damaging the components of said blind.
