Abstract

A transport system is provided for enabling deploying/undeploying a strip panel element with respect to a ground zone. The transport system includes a motor drive system operatively coupled to a controller, and includes at least one pair of motor arrangements, each having a first motor arrangement and a second motor arrangement having respective turning axes at least parallel to one another. The first and second motor arrangements are mechanically uncoupled with respect to one another. The first motor arrangement cooperates with one lateral side of the strip panel element to thereby selectively cause the lateral side to be longitudinally displaced by a respective accumulated displacement. The second motor arrangement cooperates with another lateral side of the strip panel element to thereby selectively cause this lateral side to be longitudinally displaced by a respective accumulated displacement. The controller operates each pair such as to match the respective accumulated displacements.

A mounting strip includes a strip element and a plurality of engagement elements. Each engagement element includes: an anchor portion configured for anchoring the respective engagement element to the strip element; and an engagement portion including a through-opening. At least the anchor portion is provided as an injection molded article, directly molded onto the strip element.

Abstract

A rail element is provided having a longitudinal axis, a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end longitudinally spaced from the first end along the longitudinal axis. The rail element includes a rail body longitudinally extending between the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end, the rail body defining therein at least one longitudinally extending first lumen having a longitudinally co-extensive transverse first opening, the rail element being configured for being mounted to at least one longitudinal support member in load bearing contact therewith in operation of the rail element. The rail element is configured for being mounted to the at least one longitudinal support member in a non-longitudinal manner A system for covering an area incorporating such rail elements is also provided, as well as a method for using such a system.
