Universal Roller Curtain Bracket for Inner and Outer Windows
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional roller curtain systems require different fixing brackets for various window types, leading to increased costs and complex installation due to the need for distinguishing left and right components, making it time-consuming and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A universal roller curtain fixing bracket design featuring a base seat with slots, connection boards, hub sections, and support boards with locking and locating features, allowing for identical left and right components that can be quickly installed without differentiation, facilitating installation on both inner and outer windows.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different fixing brackets are designed for different window types, then the roller curtain can be properly installed on various windows, but the number of components increases and installation becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single type of fixing bracket that can be used for both inner windows and outer windows, as well as for left and right sides. The bracket structure includes an L-shaped body with a horizontal plate and vertical plate, where the vertical plate can be positioned at different depths to accommodate different window types. This eliminates the need for multiple specialized brackets, reducing component variety while maintaining adaptability across different window configurations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different fixing brackets are designed for different window types, then the roller curtain can be properly installed on various windows, but the installation time increases and assembly becomes more complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The universal fixing bracket design allows installers to use the same component for all window types, eliminating the need to identify and select different bracket types during installation. The L-shaped structure with adjustable vertical plate positioning provides adaptability to different window configurations without requiring different components, thereby reducing installation time and simplifying the assembly process.
3Adaptability or versatility
If different fixing brackets are designed for different window types, then the roller curtain can be properly installed on various windows, but the cost increases due to numerous components
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces manufacturing costs by producing only one type of fixing bracket instead of multiple specialized brackets. The L-shaped structure with standardized components can be mass-produced using the same tooling and processes, regardless of whether it is installed on inner windows, outer windows, left sides, or right sides. This standardization significantly reduces tooling costs, inventory requirements, and manufacturing complexity while maintaining the ability to adapt to different window types through the adjustable design.

AI summary
A roller curtain fixing bracket for both inner and outer windows, which is composed of two identical components for more conveniently installing the entire roller curtain assembly on the wall faces of the inner and outer windows. The roller curtain fixing bracket includes a base seat, two connection boards integrally extending from two ends of the base seat in reverse directions, and two support boards connected with the connection boards to form a main structure of the fixing bracket. After the main structures of the fixing brackets are locked on the left and right corners of the window, one single roller curtain assembly or double roller curtain assemblies can be installed on the support boards to provide sunlight shading effect.
