  • Publication number: 20240141725
    Abstract: An apparatus for even distribution of torque in a roller shade is provided. The apparatus further enhances surface rigidity of the roller, thereby minimizing the curving of the roller tubing due to the weight of the screen. The apparatus, a roller synchronizer, includes a rotation adaptor, a support connector, and a support rod that are installed inside a roller tubing of the roller shade. The rotation adaptor, the support connector, and the roller tubing are rotationally coupled and free to rotate about the support rod and the support rod is rotationally stationary. The support connector fit within a center tunnel of the rotation adaptor, and the support rod threads through a center through hole of the support connector. The apparatus ensures that the retraction of the screen would automatically stop at a desired, predetermined position.
