Roller blind mounting system and parts therefor

摘要

A mounting system for an architectural covering including a pair of mounting brackets, a roller operably connected to each of the mounting brackets, and an end plug at least partially received within the roller and operably connected to one of the mounting brackets. The end plug selectively transitions between an extended position and a retracted position and includes a sleeve, a plunger received within the sleeve, and a spring at least partially received within the plunger for biasing the plunger away from the sleeve. The plunger includes a center or body section and at least two radially spaced tongues extending from a first end of the center section. In the extended position a first portion of the plunger projects from the sleeve and in the retracted position at least a portion of the first portion of the plunger is received within the sleeve.

主权项

1. A telescopic end plug engageable within an end-opening of a roller, the end plug comprising:
a hollow body; a plunger movably received within the hollow body and having a first portion and a second portion, the plunger being telescopically movable between a first end position in which the first portion of the plunger projects from the hollow body and the second portion remains within the hollow body, and a second end position in which at least part of the first portion is received within the hollow body; a spring at least partially received within a portion of the plunger, for biasing the plunger towards the first end position; and a locking member threadingly engaged with the first portion of the plunger and selectively positionable on the first portion for locking the plunger against movement towards the second end position, wherein a portion of the locking member is positioned within the hollow body radially between the hollow body and the plunger when the locking member is positioned to lock the plunger against movement towards the second end position.
