Abstract
A covering for an architectural opening includes a bracket, a shaft coupled to the bracket, and a roller assembly coupled to the bracket, the roller assembly including, a material roll with a covering material, and a drive roller drivingly coupled to the material roll and operable to rotate with respect to the bracket about a first rotational axis, wherein the covering material includes a first portion that extends between the material roll and the shaft.
Claims18
A covering for an architectural opening comprising:
- a bracket;
- a shaft coupled to the bracket;
- a roller assembly coupled to the bracket, the roller assembly including:
- a material roll with a covering material;
- a drive roller drivingly coupled to the material roll and operable to rotate with respect to the bracket about a first rotational axis;
- and
- a continuous loop operator operably connected to the drive roller, the continuous loop operator including a first side portion spaced from a second side portion;
- and
- a continuous loop operator diverter including a guide portion defining a slot, the first and second side portions of the continuous loop operator configured to extend through the slot, the continuous loop operator diverter defines an aperture extending through the continuous loop operator diverter, the shaft is at least partially received within the aperture, the continuous loop operator diverter configured to couple to the bracket in one of a first configuration or a second configuration,
- wherein in the first configuration the continuous loop operator diverter is coupled to the bracket at a first position on the bracket,
- wherein in the second configuration the continuous loop operator diverter is coupled to the bracket at a second position on the bracket, the second position being different than the first position,
- wherein the position of the slot is different between the first configuration and the second configuration, and
- wherein the covering material includes a first portion that extends between the material roll and the shaft.

A mounting assembly for a covering of an architectural opening comprising:
- a bracket;
- a roller assembly coupled to the bracket, the roller assembly including:
- a material roll carrying a covering material;
- and
- a drive roller drivingly engaging the material roll, the drive roller operable to rotate relative to the bracket around a first rotational axis;
- a diverter shaft coupled to the bracket;
- a continuous loop operator diverter selectively coupled to the bracket in one of a first position on the bracket or a second position on the bracket, the second position being a different location on the bracket than the first position, the continuous loop operator diverter defines a first aperture and a second aperture, wherein the diverter shaft is configured to engage one of the first aperture or the second aperture;
- and
- a continuous loop operator configured to actuate the drive roller, the continuous loop operator received by a slot defined by the continuous loop operator diverter,
- wherein a position of the slot relative to the bracket changes between the first position and the second position.
