Spring loaded screen fabric retention device
A spring loaded screen fabric retention device in the form of a motor and spring combination for a hurricane screen fabric. The combination overcomes the change in torque for use with a motor driven hurricane screen fabric system, allowing the motor to operate if there is a change in the initial torque which otherwise will interrupt motor operation. The device allows vertical deployment of screen fabric when the motor is idle, which prevents the base slat from lifting during high wind loads. A spring torque between 100% to 150% of the curtain weight is maintained on the tubular motor used for lifting and deploying of the hurricane screen fabric.
