A window covering includes a first rail and a plurality of non-moving elements arranged adjacent at least one spring motor positioned in the first rail. The non-moving elements contact at least one lift cord for routing of the lift cord through the first rail to increase friction incurred during motion of the lift cord(s) that takes place during height adjustment of window covering material. Non-moving members can also be positioned to contact at least one lift cord for routing of the lift cord through the first rail to increase friction incurred during motion of the lift cord(s) that takes place during height adjustment of window covering material. The non-moving elements and non-moving members can be positioned in the first rail such that they do not move relative to the first rail when the window covering is mounted and installed for use by a user to adjustably cover a window.

The safety device for a chain of a shade.

The invention proposes the development of a tamper-proof safety device configured for a chain of a shade, such as the roller type, which, when not being used, is fixed to the body of the chain, and when being used, the chain is free to slide in order to perform the raising and lowering operations of the roller shade.

A pull-cord control device for a curtain without an operation cord includes a pull-cord (3), a base (1), and a pressing plate (2) rotatably mounted to the base through a rotation shaft (42). The base forms first friction shafts (11). The pressing plate forms second friction shafts (21) staggered with the first friction shafts. The pressing plate forms a fixing pole (41). A first end of the pull-cord is connected to a retractable-cord device (5), and a second end of the pull-cord extends between the first and second friction shafts, and is connected to a curtain body (6) after extending about the fixing pole. When the curtain body moves up and down, the pressing plate is rotated between a clamping position and a loose position. When the pressing plate is in the clamping portion, the second friction shafts actuate the pull-cord to wander between the first and second friction shafts.

A kind of foldable blind, including a top track, a bottom track, cord fabric between the top track and the bottom track, lift ropes and a line lock. Both ends of the top track and both ends of the bottom track are respectively equipped with a length compensation part to extend the length of the top track or the bottom track. The length from the end of the length compensation part that is far from the top track to the top track can be adjusted, while the length from the end of the length compensation part that is far from the bottom track to the bottom track can be adjusted. The topside and the bottom side of the cord fabric are respectively connected to the top track and the bottom track, and there are fastening parts between the length compensation parts and the cord fabric.

A cord wrapping mechanism converts linear motion to circular motion for use in coverings for architectural openings. The cord is guided onto a spool.

The invention to which this application relates is apparatus and a method for use with blinds and louvres, hereinafter referred to, in a non-limiting manner, as blinds and which includes roller blinds, roman blinds and Venetian blinds. The apparatus and method allows the free end of the blind to be selectively positioned and retained at a predetermined position intermediate the fully retracted and fully extended positions and to be retained at that position.
