Abstract:
An inverted constant force window balance system includes a carrier assembly and a mounting bracket. The carrier assembly includes a housing, a coil spring disposed within the housing, and a shoe assembly coupled to the housing. The shoe assembly is configured to receive a pivot bar from a window sash and extend at least one brake upon rotation of the pivot bar. The mounting bracket is releasably coupled to the housing opposite the shoe assembly and is coupled to the free end of the coil spring. At least a portion of the mounting bracket is configured to slideably move in relation to the free end of the coil spring between at least two positions. When at least a portion of the mounting bracket moves between the at least two positions, the mounting bracket disengages from the housing and releases the mounting bracket from the carrier assembly.

Claim (Index 25):
A method for installing an inverted constant force window balance system, including a mounting bracket releasably coupled to a carrier assembly having a coil spring disposed therein, in a window jamb, the method comprising:\n positioning the window balance system in the window jamb, wherein the mounting bracket is releasably coupled to the carrier assembly; securing the mounting bracket to the window jamb, wherein during the securing operation, at least a portion of the mounting bracket slideably moves in relation to a free end of the coil spring and towards the window jamb; substantially simultaneously with the securing operation, releasing the mounting bracket from the carrier assembly such that the carrier assembly is configured to travel within the window jamb; and receiving at least a portion of a pivot bar coupled to a window sash in the carrier assembly.
