The screening arrangement (10) comprises a screening body (15), two side rails (12), a bottom element (14) connected to a bottom portion of the screening body (15) and being configured to be longitudinally positionable in a longitudinal direction (L) between a non-screening position of the screening body (15) and a screening position by means of electric drive means (22) operably connecting the bottom element (14) and the side rails (12, 13), the screening body (15) defining a screening plane (SP) in said screening position. The electric drive means (22) comprise operating means including first transmission means including a cogwheel (144) at each longitudinal end portion of the bottom element (14) and second transmission means including a rack (124) arranged in each of the side rails (12, 13). A suspension assembly (40) provided at each end of the bottom element (14) comprises an inner part (41) provided with said first transmission means, and an outer part (42). The inner part (41) and the outer part (42) are movable relative to each other to allow the cogwheel (144) of the first transmission means to assume an engaged condition in which the cogwheel (144) is in engagement with the rack (124) of the second transmission means and a disengaged condition in which the cogwheel (144) is disengaged from the rack (124). The suspension assembly (40) is configured such that the cogwheel (144) of the first transmission means is allowed to perform a substantially part-circular movement about a centre of rotation (CR) located on said screening plane (SP) during movement of the inner part (41) relative to the outer part (42) when moving from the engaged condition to the disengaged condition and vice versa.
A screening arrangement for a window, said window comprising a frame with a top member, a bottom member and two mutually parallel side members, said screening arrangement comprising:
A method of mounting a screening arrangement from a supply condition to a mounted condition, the screening arrangement including a screening body having two side edges, a top portion and a bottom portion, two side rails, a bottom element connected to the bottom portion of the screening body, a rack arranged in each of the two side rails, and a suspension assembly being provided at each end of the bottom element wherein each suspension assembly includes an inner part having a cogwheel and an outer part, the inner part and outer part being movable relative to each other, wherein, in the supply condition, the suspension assembly is in a position in which each cogwheel is disengaged from a corresponding rack and, in the mounted condition, each cogwheel is in engagement with the corresponding rack, comprising the steps of:
