Abstract
A rolling mechanism includes a base frame fastened to a top side of a window and having a coupling flange, a roller rotatably mounted below the base frame for stationary rotation and having a locating groove on its periphery, and at least one constraint member having a coupling portion pivotally coupled to the coupling flange of the base frame and a constraint portion extending from the coupling portion for engaging the locating groove of the roller and further limiting the rotary direction of the roller to one direction only.

A rolling mechanism for a window blind, said window blind having fabric slats and support rods, said rolling mechanism comprising:
- a base frame fastened to a top side of a window and having a coupling flange;
- a roller rotatably mounted below said base frame for stationary rotation and having a locating groove formed on an outer periphery of said roller;
- a constraint member coupled to said base frame for limiting the rotary direction of said roller to one direction only, said constraint member having a coupling portion pivotally coupled to the coupling flange of said base frame and a constraint portion extending outwards from said coupling portion for engaging said locating groove with said roller to limit the rotary direction rotation of said roller to one direction;
- and
- at least one springy member connected between said base frame and said constraint member for forcing said constraint portion of said constraint member into engagement with said locating groove at said roller,
- wherein said base frame further comprises a retaining groove;
- said constraint member further comprises a locating hole;
- said springy member comprises two mounting tips respectively extending from two opposite ends thereof and respectively fastened to said retaining groove of said base frame and said locating hole of said constraint member.
A rolling mechanism for a window blind, said window blind having fabric slats and support rods, said rolling mechanism comprising:
- a base frame fastened to a top side of a window and having a coupling flange;
- a roller rotatably mounted below said base frame for stationary rotation and having a locating groove formed on an outer periphery of said roller;
- a constraint member coupled to said base frame for limiting the rotary direction of said roller to one direction only, said constraint member having a coupling portion pivotally coupled to the coupling flange of said base frame and a constraint portion extending outwards from said coupling portion for engaging said locating groove with said roller to limit the rotary direction rotation of said roller to one direction,
- wherein said locating groove of said roller comprises a bottom wall, a sliding wall extending from a first lateral side of said bottom wall and being respective to said bottom wall at an angle larger than 90°, and a stop wall extending from a second lateral side of said bottom wall and bent toward said sliding wall and being respective to said bottom wan at an angle smaller than 90°, whereby while rotating said roller in one direction causes said sliding wall to move over the constraint portion of said constraint member;
- rotating said roller in the reversed direction causes said stop wall to jam said constraint portion of said constraint member.
A rolling mechanism for a window blind, said window blind having fabric slats and support rods, said rolling mechanism comprising:
- a base frame fastened to a top side of a window and having a coupling flange;
- a roller rotatably mounted below said base frame for stationary rotation and having a locating groove formed on an outer periphery of said roller;
- a constraint member coupled to said base frame for limiting the rotary direction of said roller to one direction only, said constraint member having a coupling portion pivotally coupled to the coupling flange of said base frame and a constraint portion extending outwards from said coupling portion for engaging said locating groove with said roller to limit the rotary direction rotation of said roller to one direction;
- and
- a locating member mounted to said roller, said locating member having a plurality of mounting blocks protruded from a bottom side thereof and equally spaced from one another;
- said locating groove extends along a long side of a top side of said locating member, said roller having a recessed locating portion formed on the outer periphery thereof and a plurality of mounting holes formed on said recessed locating portion for receiving said mourning blocks of said locating member.
