Scrolling mechanism for window shades

A scrolling mechanism for a window shade which includes a top rail, two covers are connected to two ends of the top rail, a tube is located between the two covers and includes multiple ridges extending axially from an inner periphery thereof, the top rail includes a slit, a shade has an insertion formed to a top end thereof, the insertion is inserted into the slit of the top rail, a bottom rail is connected to a lower end of the shade, the shade is lifted and lowered along with rotation of the tube, the scrolling mechanism comprising:

• a housing, a wheel, a driving gear, a bevel gear unit, a first scrolling unit and a second scrolling unit, the housing including a bottom part and a top part which is connected to the bottom part, the scrolling mechanism adapted to be located in the tube, the housing of the scrolling mechanism accommodating the driving gear, the bevel gear unit, the first scrolling unit and the second scrolling unit therein, the wheel connected to a first end of the housing and adapted to be located in the tube, the wheel including grooves defined axially in an outer periphery thereof, the grooves adapted to be engaged with ridges of the tube so that the wheel is co-rotated with the tube, the wheel including a central hole, the driving gear is formed to a shaft which is engaged with the central hole of the wheel;
• the bevel gear unit including a bevel gear and a planar gear which is co-axially formed with the bevel gear, a diameter of the planar gear being larger than a diameter of the bevel gear so that the bevel gear is located at a center of the planar gear and surrounded by the planar gear, wherein the planar gear and the bevel gear are co-axially formed as a single integrated structure with the bevel gear positioned at the center of the planar gear and the planar gear extending radially outward to surround the bevel gear, the bevel gear engaged with the driving gear which drives the bevel gear and the planar gear;
• the first scrolling unit engaged with the bevel gear unit, the first scrolling unit including a first active roller and a first passive roller, two first active gears respectively connected to two ends of the first active roller, the first active roller including a first active shank formed to a middle portion thereof, one of the first active gears engaged with the planar gear so that the first active roller is driven by the planar gear, two first passive gears respectively connected to two ends of the first passive roller, the first passive roller including a first passive shank formed to a middle portion thereof;
• a first spring having a first end thereof wrapped to the first passive shank, a second end of the first spring wrapped to the first active shank of the first active roller, the two first passive gears engaged with the first active gears, and one of the first active gears engaged with the planar gear, when the first active gears rotate in a first direction, the two first passive gears rotates in a direction opposite to the first direction of the first active gears, and the first spring of the first passive shank scrolls toward the first active shank;
• the second scrolling unit engaged with the first passive roller of the first scrolling unit, the second scrolling unit including a second active roller and a second passive roller, two second active gears respectively connected to two ends of the second active roller, the second active roller including a second active shank formed to a middle portion thereof, the second active gears engaged with the first passive gears so that the second active roller is driven by the first passive gears, wherein the first passive gears of the first scrolling unit directly engage with the second active gears of the second scrolling unit such that the second scrolling unit receives rotational force from the first scrolling unit through direct gear engagement, two second passive gears respectively connected to two ends of the second passive roller, the second passive roller including a second passive shank formed to a middle portion thereof, and
• a second spring having a first end thereof wrapped to the second passive shank, a second end of the second spring wrapped to the second active shank of the second active roller, the two second passive gears engaged with the two second active gears, when the second active gears rotate, the two second passive gears rotate in a direction opposite to a direction of the second active gears, and the second spring of the second passive shank scrolls toward the second active shank, wherein the bottom part includes multiple posts, wherein the bevel gear unit, the first active roller, the first passive roller, the second active roller and the second passive roller are respectively mounted to the posts, and wherein each of the respective posts is sized and positioned to maintain proper gear engagement between the planar gear and the first active gears, between the first active gears and the first passive gears, and between the first passive gears and the second active gears.
