The present invention is related to a roller blind comprising: a length of fabric having a first end connected to a roller tube; a bottom rail have a top piece and a bottom piece releasably secure to one another; a connector for attaching to a second end of the length of fabric; wherein the connector comprises a first retention means adapted to releasably secured to the bottom piece of the bottom rail.

A bottom rail for a covering of an architectural-structure covering is disclosed. In one example of an embodiment, the bottom rail includes a first or front member, and a second or rear member. The first and second members are arranged and configured to be coupled to each other with a bottom portion of a covering positioned in between the first and second members. Thus arranged, the first member is coupled to the second member, and the covering is securely coupled to the bottom rail. In addition, and/or alternatively, the covering may be received within the bottom rail along a tortuous pathway. In addition, and/or alternatively, the bottom rail may include a front profile or surface that substantially corresponds to a front profile of battens extending across a width of the covering. Moreover, the bottom rail may enclose the lowermost batten so that consistent spacing of the battens is maintained.

A channel for receiving a retaining member to secure shade material to a roller shade is provided. The channel comprises a first and second retaining lip sections that define an opening into the interior cavity of the channel, a first bottom wall section opposite the first retaining lip and aligned along a first plane, and a second bottom wall section opposite the second retaining lip and aligned along a second plane offset from the first plane. The second retaining lip comprises an outer lip wall that tapers towards the interior cavity and is aligned along the same first plane as the first bottom wall section. The top end of the retaining member is inserted through the opening and into the interior cavity along the first plane under the first retaining lip and over the outer lip wall and the first bottom wall section. The retaining member is then rotated into place from being aligned with the first plane to being aligned with the second plane such that a bottom end of the retaining member is positioned between the second retaining lip and the second bottom wall section. The retaining member secures a portion of the shade material within the interior cavity of the channel.
