A window includes a window frame and a screen mounting assembly. The window frame is formed with two rail slots. The screen mounting assembly is adapted to be connected to a window screen and includes a roller unit, a sliding unit and an interconnecting unit. The roller unit includes a roller seat. The sliding unit is slidable along the rail slots and defines an engaging groove. The interconnecting unit is operable between a disengaging state where the interconnecting unit is connected to the roller seat, and an engaging state where the interconnecting unit is separated from the roller seat and inserted into the engaging groove so as to engage the sliding unit, such that movement of the sliding unit along the rail slots results in winding and unwinding of the window screen.

The invention relates to a device for winding a screen (10) which comprises a tubular winder (12) defining a reference axis (100); a first wall attachment (18A) for fastening a first axial end portion (14A) of the tubular winder (12) to a first wall (16A) in a use position of the screen-winding device (10); and a second wall attachment (18B) for fastening a second axial end portion (14B) of the tubular winder (12) to a second wall (16B) in the use position of the screen-winding device (10). The first wall attachment (18A) comprises at least one tab (54) for fastening to the first wall (16A) and at least one first hinge (58) supported by the fastening tab (54) in order to guide a pivoting of the tubular winder (12) about a first axis of articulation (200) that does not intersect with the reference axis (100) and, in the use position, orthogonal to the reference axis (100). The first wall attachment (18A) comprises a second jointed hinge (66) supported by the fastening tab (54) in order to guide the first hinge (58) so as to rotate about a second axis of articulation (300) that does not intersect with the reference axis and is not parallel to the first axis of articulation (200).

A covering for an architectural covering is provided. The covering may include a rotatable outer roller, a rotatable inner roller, a first shade secured to the outer roller, and a second shade secured to the inner roller. The outer roller may define an elongated slot extending along a length of the outer roller and opening to an interior of the outer roller. The inner roller may be received within the outer roller and may define a central longitudinal axis. The first shade may be retractable onto and extendable from the outer roller. The second shade may extend through the elongated slot and may be retractable onto and extendable from the inner roller. The elongated slot may be substantially horizontally aligned with the central longitudinal axis of the inner roller when the first shade is in a fully extended position.

A cordless retractable shade including an operating system for the shade that varies a biasing force of a spring to counterbalance the shade. The bottom rail of a retractable shade can be raised or lowered, and due to the operating system remains in any selected position of the covering between fully extended and fully retracted, without the use of operating cords. The system includes a method of negating and reversing the spring bias effect at a strategic position whereby the flexible vanes of the shade can be adjusted between open and closed.

The present disclosure relates to an adjustable roller shade. In certain embodiments, the adjustable roller shade includes: a roller shade fabric winding shaft, a roller shade fabric wound on the roller shade fabric winding shaft forming upper edge of adjustable roller shade, a weight bar attached to bottom of roller shade fabric forming lower edge of adjustable roller shade, a pair of movable pulleys, two pairs of upward lifting ropes and downward pulling ropes, four winders, four driving motors, and a controller. The controller controls rotations of four driving motors, independently and in concert. Each of the four winders is independently driven by four driving motors respectively. Rotations of four driving motors cause rotations of four winders. Ups and downs of the upper edge and the lower edge of the adjustable roller shade can be achieved by controlling the rotational directions of the four winders, separately and independently.
