Provide shade hardware allowing for the removal of shade roller tube from brackets <br />without removing hardware from opening and without requiring end or center supports <br />to be removed. <br />2. Provide shade hardware that allows for removal and re -mounting of the shade bands <br />without having to remove the shade tube, drive or operating support brackets. <br />3. Use only Delrin engineered plastics by DuPont, or accepted equal, for all plastic <br />components of shade hardware. Styrene based plastics, and /or polyester, or <br />reinforced polyester will not be acceptable. <br />C. Manual Operated Chain Drive Hardware and Brackets: <br />1. Hardware: Capable for installation of a removable fascia, for both regular and/or <br />reverse roll, including fascias mounted continuously across two or more shade bands, <br />which shall be installed without exposed fastening devices of any kind, universal, <br />regular and offset drive capacity, allowing drive chain to fall at front, rear or non -offset <br />for all shade drive end brackets; constructed of minimum 1/8 -inch (3.18 mm) thick <br />plated steel or heavier as required to support 150 percent of the full weight of each <br />shade. Universal offset shall be adjustable for future change. <br />2. Operator: Single chain operator capable of operation of multiple shade bands, subject <br />to manufacturer's design criteria, providing smooth operation when the axis is offset a <br />maximum of 6 degrees on each side of the plane perpendicular to the radial line of the <br />curve, for a 12 degrees total offset. Connectors shall be offset to assure alignment <br />from the first to the last shade band. <br />3. Drive mechanism: Positive mechanical engagement to shade roller tube. Friction fit <br />connectors for drive mechanism connection to shade roller tube are not acceptable <br />4. Drive Bracket / Brake Assembly: Model M5 <br />a. Fully integrated with all accessories, including, but not limited to: fascia, room <br />darkening side / sill channels, center supports and connectors for multi -banded <br />shades. <br />b. Drive sprocket and brake assembly shall rotate and be supported on a welded <br />3/8 inch steel pin. <br />C. The brake shall be an over -running clutch design which disengages to 90 percent <br />during the raising and lowering of a shade. The brake shall withstand a pull force <br />of 50 lbs. in the stopped position. <br />d. The braking mechanism shall be applied to an oil -impregnated hub on to which <br />the brake system is mounted. The oil impregnated hub design includes an <br />articulated brake assembly, which assures a smooth, non -jerky operation in <br />raising and lowering the shades. The assembly shall be permanently lubricated. <br />Products that require externally applied lubrication and or not permanently <br />lubricated are not acceptable. <br />e. The assembly shall be fully mounted on the steel support bracket, and fully <br />independent of the shade tube assembly, which may be removed and reinstalled <br />without effecting the roller shade limit adjustments. <br />5. Drive Chain: #10 qualified stainless steel chain rated to 90 Ib. minimum breaking <br />strength, with Spring -Loaded Tension Chain Retainer. Nickel plate chain will not be <br />3 <br />
