Product description
You included schematic materials and a description with your request. The merchandise at issue is referred to on the importer’s web site as a “BSI Balance System” which functions as a window sash assembly for single or double hung windows. The assembly works by a block and tackle method housed in a metal framework. By the use of pulleys and cords, the weight of the window sash is pulled down on the balance as the cord extends the spring in the assembly. This spring stores force which is released when the window is lifted. The purpose is that less force will be required to lift or close the window.
