Reexamination Control No. 90/006,013 3
an actuator including at least one electric motor and a
coupling operably engaged with the motor, wherein
the coupling contacts the operator to prevent
rotational relative motion between the coupling and
the operator, a rotor of the motor being connected to
the coupling for rotating the operator in either
direction, wherein the slat elements hang from the
head rail and are not contained therein;
at least one alkaline or lithium battery; and
a control signal generator for receiving a
wirelessly transmitted command signal and in
response generating a control signal to cause the
battery to energize the motor to move the operator
and thereby cause the slat elements to move]
wherein the at least one battery is the sole source of power for
the motor.
48. A window covering assembly with actuator, comprising
a head rail, a rod rotatably disposed therein, and a window
covering engaged with the rod for moving the window covering
when the rod is rotated, the window covering hanging down from
the head rail;
at least one electric motor in the head rail;
a coupling operably engaged with the motor to engage the
motor with the rod for rotating the rod;
at least one dc battery;
at least one control signal generator for generating a control
signal;
an electronic circuit electrically connected to the control
signal generator and the battery for processing the control
signal to cause the battery to energize the motor to move the
rod; and
a switch receiving the control signal and activating the
electronic circuit in response thereto to permit the electronic circuit
to cause the battery to energize the motor to rotate the rod,
