Abstract

A support structure for a roller for a shade includes a bracket, a plug and a limit member. The bracket is adapted to fix on a fixing member, and includes a connecting hole. The plug has one end connected to a shaft tube of the shade, and the other end thereof is inserted into the connecting hole of the bracket. The limit member is connected to the end of the plug, which is provided for being inserted into the connecting hole of the bracket, whereby the limiting member restrains the plug from detaching from the bracket. By the limit member, the connection of the bracket and the plug could be strengthened, so as to prevent the shade from falling off, whereby to enhance the safety of the support structure for the shade in use.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A support structure positioned on a side of a shaft tube of a roller for a shade, comprising:
a bracket adapted to be fixed on a fixing member, wherein the bracket has a connecting hole;
a plug having two ends, among which one end is connected to the shaft tube of the shade, and the other end is inserted into the connecting hole of the bracket; and
a limit member connected to the other end of the plug, whereby the limit member restrains the plug from detaching from the bracket;
wherein the plug has a shaft provided on the other end thereof, and the shaft passes through the connecting hole;
wherein the plug comprises a shaft base and an elastic member; the shaft base has a perforation, and the shaft is movably positioned in the perforation; the elastic member is positioned within the perforation and pushes against the shaft;
wherein the bracket comprises an end plate, and the end plate has the connecting hole; the shaft of the plug has a bore; the limit member comprises a pin;
wherein the shaft of the plug has an end protruding out of the end plate on a side of the end plate, and the bore of the shaft is provided at said end thereof the pin of the limit member passes through the bore on said side of the end plate, and a portion of the pin is exposed out from the bore and abuts against said side of the end plate.

2. The support structure of claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a side cap, the side cap is positioned on said side of the end plate.

3. The support structure of claim 2 , wherein each of two opposite sides of the side cap has a trough, the end plate is inserted into the two troughs via two opposite edges thereof.

4. The support structure of claim 3 , wherein an axial direction of the bore of the shaft is parallel to extension directions of the two troughs of the side cap.
