DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0021] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the scrolling system for a window curtain of the present invention comprises a scrolling device 100 which includes a frame 10 and a shaft 20, and a curtain 30 is scrolled to the shaft 20. A transmission device 40 is connected between the shaft 20 and the frame 10 so as to rotate the shaft 20 and to scroll the curtain 30. The transmission device 40 includes a housing 50, a first transmission unit 60 and a second transmission unit 70.

[0022] The housing 50 located between the shaft 10 and the shaft 20. The housing 50 is a hollow housing and composed of two casings 51. The first and second transmission units 60, 70 are accommodated in the housing 50.

[0023] The housing 50 includes a first space 52 and a second space 53, wherein the first space 52 defined in the lower portion of the housing 50, and the second space 53 is defined axially in the housing 50. The first transmission unit 60 is accommodated in the first space 52, and the second transmission unit 70 is accommodated in the second space 53. The frame 10 includes a recess 11, and the housing 50 includes a protrusion 511 which is engaged with the recess 11, so that the transmission device 40 is connected to the frame 10 stably.

[0024] The first transmission unit 60 includes a first bevel gear 61, a first portion 62 and a second portion 63, wherein the first portion 62 is formed between the first bevel gear 61 and the second portion 63. The first bevel gear 61 and the first portion 62 are located in the first space 52, and the second portion 63 extends beyond the first space 52. The first bevel gear 61 is engaged with a second bevel gear 71 of the second transmission unit 70. A driving rod 80 is connected to the second portion 63, so that the second portion 63 being rotated by the driving rod 80, and the first transmission unit 60 rotates in the first space 52. As shown in FIGS. 3, 5 and 7, the first portion 62 includes a cylindrical section 621 and a polygonal section 631. A polygonal passage 521 is formed to the inner periphery of the first space 52. When the cylindrical section 621 is located relative to the polygonal passage 521, because the outer diameter of the cylindrical section 621 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the polygonal passage 521, the first transmission unit 60 is rotatable. When the polygonal section 631 is located relative to the polygonal passage 521 and engaged with the polygonal passage 521, the first transmission unit 60 is not rotatable. The second portion 63 includes a loop 631, and the driving rod 80 includes a hook 81 which hooks to the loop 631. Therefore, when rotating the driving rod 80, the second portion 63 together with the first transmission unit 60 is rotated.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and 5 to 7, the second transmission unit 70 includes the second bevel gear 71 and a tubular part 72, wherein the second bevel gear 71 is axially connected to the tubular part 72. The second bevel gear 71 includes a reception hole 711 defined axially in the back thereof. The tubular part 72 includes a polygonal tube 721 which is engaged with the reception hole 711 to connect the second bevel gear 71 to the tubular part 72. The axis of the first gear 61 is perpendicular to the axis of the second bevel gear 71. The tubular part 72 is connected to the shaft 20. Specifically, the tubular part 72 includes multiple ridges 722 protruding from the outside thereof, and the ridges 722 are engaged with the shaft 20.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, when in use, the driving rod 80 is connected to the second portion 63, and the user rotates the driving rod 80 to rotate the first bevel gear 61. The second bevel gear 71 is then rotated by the first bevel gear 61, and the tubular part 72 is co-rotated with the second bevel gear 71. The shaft 20 is rotated with the rotation of the second transmission unit 70 to lift or lower the curtain 30. As shown in FIG. 5, the driving rod 80 is rotated counter clockwise to lift the curtain 30. As shown in FIG. 6, the driving rod 80 is rotated clockwise to lower the curtain 30. As shown in FIG. 7, after adjusting the curtain 30, the driving rod 80 is pushed upward so that the first transmission unit 60 is moved upward, and the polygonal section 622 is engaged with the polygonal passage 521 to restrict the first transmission unit 60 from rotating. When the driving rod 80 is pulled downward, the polygonal section 622 is separated from the polygonal passage 521, the first transmission unit 60 is rotatable.

[0027] While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
