A top-down bottom-up window covering has a headrail, a middle rail, a bottom rail, a lifting control structure installed at the headrail, and a covering structure installed between the middle rail and the bottom rail. The lifting control structure controls a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft to respectively receive or release a first cord and a second cord. The first cord drives the middle rail to move, and the second cord drives the bottom rail to move. A one-way clutch and a pre-stress unit are further provided at the headrail. When the bottom rail pushes the middle rail to move upward, the one-way clutch breaks a link between the first rotating shaft and the lifting control structure. Consequently, a driving force generated by the pre-stress unit immediately drives the first rotating shaft to receive the first cord to keep the first cord taut.

In example implementations, an adjustable speed operator governor release for a rolling fire shutter is provided. The adjustable speed operator governor release includes a shaft coupled to the rolling fire shutter, a gear on a first end of the shaft to engage a spring-loaded clutch during a fire, wherein the spring-loaded clutch is moved to disengage from a drive assembly and to engage the gear of the adjustable speed governor to operate the rolling fire shutter, and a linear speed adjusting mechanism coupled to the shaft and the gear to control a speed of free fall of the rolling fire shutter during the fire.

A blind control for a window covering having a narrow profile; and particularly relates to a control module for a window shade where the location of the drive mechanism is selected to minimize the gap between the end of the window shade and inside edge of a window opening; locating the drive mechanism in a shell disposed in a housing to rigidify a reduced thickness of the drive so as to minimize the gap; and use a single rod depending from the control module to activate the drive mechanism in a safe and secure manner. The invention also includes a housing with an end wall adjacent one end of the shade; a clutch projecting from said end wall and rotatable about a clutch axis, a drive gear engageable at one end of the clutch for rotatably driving said clutch and shade, said drive gear disposed in said housing adjacent said end wall; and a wand for driving said drive gear. The invention provides for a wand to raise and lower the window shade.

A scrolling system for a window curtain includes a transmission device connected between a shaft to which the curtain is wrapped, and a fixed frame fixed. The transmission device includes a housing in which a first transmission unit and a second transmission unit are accommodated. The first transmission unit includes a first bevel gear which is engaged with a second bevel gear of the second transmission unit. The shaft is connected to the second transmission unit. The first transmission unit includes a loop which is located beyond the housing. A driving rod is hooked to the loop and drives the first bevel gear which drives the second bevel gear so that the second transmission unit is rotated, such that the shaft is rotated to operate the curtain up and down.

A rotary drive system for a roller blind. The drive system comprises a handle a worm gear, a bull gear, and a planetary gear drive system. The handle causes rotation of the worm gear, that engages the bull gear, that engages the planetary gear carrier of the planetary gear drive system. The sun gear of the planetary gear drive system is configured to engage the roller tube of the roller blind. Rotation of the worm gear causes a rotation of the bull gear which rotates the planetary gear carrier, causing the planetary gears to impart rotational motion to the sun gear and rotation of the roller tube at a rate faster than the rotation of the worm gear, said planetary gear carrier causing said planetary gears to impart rotational motion to said sun gear and rotation of the roller tube at a rate faster than the rotation of said worm gear.
