A braking apparatus for a blind, used to reduce the speed of a shielding member of the blind when it is lifted and lowered, in which weights are stably supported and operated without an increase in the size of the braking apparatus.
The braking apparatus has a casing 12, a rotor 14 rotatably supported with in the casing 12, and weights 16 adapted to rotate together with the rotor 14 in such a way that they can be in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the casing 12. A cylindrical shaft portion 14a and weight support portions 14b radially projecting from the peripheral surface of the shaft portion 14a at equal intervals in the circumferential direction are formed on the rotor 14. One end of each weight 16 is swingably supported by the weight support portion 14b extending over the axial-direction entire length of the weight 16. |
