The mounting arm assembly includes at least one mounting arm for pivotally mounting the motor assembly with respect to the building.
Claims20
A retractable curtain system comprising:
- a first curtain region that is capable of substantially covering the at least one opening when in an unrolled configuration;
- a motor assembly operably attached to the first curtain region for moving the first curtain region between the unrolled configuration and a rolled configuration;
- and
- a mounting arm assembly comprising at least one mounting arm for pivotally mounting the motor assembly with respect to the building.
A building ventilation system comprising:
- a building having at least one opening in a side thereof;
- and
- a retractable curtain system comprising:
- a first curtain region that is capable of substantially covering the at least one opening when in an unrolled configuration;
- a motor assembly operably attached to the first curtain region for moving the first curtain region between the unrolled configuration and a rolled configuration;
- and
- a mounting arm assembly comprising at least one mounting arm for pivotally mounting the motor assembly with respect to the building.
A method of operating a retractable curtain system with respect to a building having at least one opening in a side thereof, wherein the method comprises:
- pivotally mounting a motor assembly with respect to a building with a mounting arm assembly, wherein the mounting arm assembly comprises at least one mounting arm;
- attaching a first curtain region to the motor assembly;
- positioning the first curtain region in an unrolled configuration where the first curtain region at least partially covers an opening in the building;
- and
- operating the motor assembly to cause the first curtain region to move from the unrolled configuration to a rolled configuration, wherein the mounting arm assembly allows the motor assembly to pivot with respect to the building as the first curtain region moves from the unrolled configuration to the rolled configuration.
