A roller shade assembly, installed in a window opening, having a frame with opposing first and second ends attached within the window opening. A roller is rotatably mounted to the frame with opposing ends, a rotational axis, and a first gear coaxially attached to one end of the roller. A drive assembly is attached to the frame between the first and second ends, having a second gear that is selectively rotatable and is operatively engaged with the first gear for imparting rotational motion from the drive assembly to the roller.

The geared window shade bracket comprises a sprocket having a ring gear on an inside circumference of the sprocket; a chain configured to be engaged with the sprocket such that, in response to pulling on the chain, the sprocket rotates; a sun gear that is configured to be restricted from rotation; one or more planet gears configured to rotate around the sun gear, wherein the one or more planet gears interface with the ring gear; and a planetary carrier configured to mate with the one or more planet gears. In response to the chain being pulled, the sprocket rotates, causing the planet gears to rotate, causing the planetary carrier to rotate, causing the hub to rotate, and causing a shade tube to rotate.

The invention relates to an operating device (1) for a screen, comprising: a first operating mechanism with a first operating element (7) which is connected to a first movement transfer element connected by means of a first transmission to a drive element (60) for a screen shaft. The first operating mechanism is configured to convert a linear movement of the first operating element to a rotational movement of the drive element for operating the screen shaft in a first rotational direction (R). The operating device (1) further comprises a second operating mechanism comprising a second operating element (8) which is connected to a second movement transfer element connected by means of a second transmission to the drive element (60). The second operating mechanism is configured to convert a linear movement of the second operating element to a rotational movement of the drive element for operating the screen shaft in a second rotational direction (L) opposite to the first rotational direction.

The present disclosure concerns cable-covering tube assembly for a roller blind actuation cable, comprising a first cable-covering tube defining a cable-receiving cavity; and at least one tube connector extending at least partially in the cable-receiving cavity and comprising a cable-mounting portion couplable to the free end portion of the roller blind actuation cable; and a coupling portion couplable to the coupling portion of a similar tube connector. It also concerns a cable-covering tube system and a roller blind actuation assembly comprising first and second roller blind-operating systems having each a driving assembly and a unidirectional angular coupler, and a biasing member operatively coupling the driving assemblies and extending between their respective unidirectional angular couplers.

In response to the chain being pulled, the sprocket rotates, causing the planet gears to rotate, causing the planetary carrier to rotate, causing the hub to rotate, and causing a shade tube to rotate.

Implementations of a roller blind assembly for angled architectural openings are provided. In some implementations, the roller blind assembly comprises a frame, a roller tube assembly, a roller blind sheet, a chain assembly, a track assembly, an extension assembly, a retraction assembly, and a motor assembly.

In some implementations, a method of using the roller blind assembly comprises installing the roller blind assembly to fully fit the perimeter of an angled architectural opening and operating the roller blind assembly to fully cover the opening of the angled architectural opening.

A safe curtain control assembly which does not require screws to assemble is revealed. The safe curtain control assembly includes a stopping portion located on a wall of a cavity of a base forming a raised structure, and a recessed area is formed by the wall of the cavity and the stopping portion. A sleeve, an elastic member and a drive member are mounted within the cavity of the base in turn. A second stopping flange of the drive member is positioned in the recessed area between the wall of the cavity and the stopping portion for preventing the sleeve, the elastic member, and the drive member assembled from being released. Thereby the base, the sleeve, the elastic member and the drive member are secured firmly without screws so as to save time and cost for each assembly.

A crank structure for a curtain has a base, a rolling wheel set, an engagement set and a crank. The base has a bottom plate and a limiting frame. The rolling wheel set is disposed in the storing space of the base and has two rolling wheels. Each central aperture is jacketed onto the central shaft of the storing space. The two rolling wheels is further respectively provided with a braking gear and an inclined ring. Each inclined ring has a plurality of engagement ribs. The engagement set disposed in the assembling portion of the base and has a socket, a supporting wheel and a bottom member. An engaging pattern is provided at a periphery of the supporting wheel, a passive gear is provided at the supporting wheel, and a shaft is provide at a center position of the supporting wheel.

A driving mechanism for a roll blind capable of shade adjustment is proposed. The driving mechanism includes: a cover housing (212) having a stopper (212c) protrudingly foamed; a driving shaft (213a) relatively and rotatably coupled to the cover housing (212); a torsional coil spring (220) wound and tightened around an outer circumferential surface of the driving shaft (213a); and a clutch wheel (223) integrally rotating with the driving shaft (213a), wherein, in a case when the torsional coil spring (220) is caught by the stopper (212c) while the driving shaft (213a) is rotating, rotation of the torsional coil spring (220) is blocked therethrough, whereas the driving shaft (213a) is continuously rotatable regardless of whether the rotation of the torsional coil spring (220) is blocked, and wherein the driving mechanism further includes a tilting gear (222) and a tilting wheel (224) rotated in conjunction with the tilting gear (222).
