Abstract:
An alignment bracket for a roller blind, comprising a base and a roller tube support securable to the base. First and second coupling members on the base and roller tube support permit an adjustment of the alignment of the roller tube support, and the end of a roller tube mounted thereon, relative to the base. Also provided is a blind fabric alignment device for a roller tube of a multi-tube roller blind. The alignment device comprises a drive coupling body securable to an end of a roller tube of the blind, a driven member mounted to the drive coupling body, a torque transfer mechanism secured to the driven member, and an adjuster. The torque transfer mechanism transfers rotational torque from the driven member to the drive coupling body through the adjuster. The adjuster permits an alteration of the rotational position of the driven member relative to the drive coupling body.

Claim (Index 22):
A blind fabric alignment device for a roller tube of a multi-tube roller blind, the alignment device comprising:\n a drive coupling body securable to an end of a roller tube of the roller blind, when secured to the roller tube rotation of said drive coupling body causing a corresponding rotation of the roller tube; a pin rotationally received within said drive coupling body and having an end securable to a source of rotational torque, said pin having a longitudinal axis generally aligned with the longitudinal axis of said drive coupling body, said pin including a radially oriented flange; and a pair of opposed posts threadably secured to said drive coupling body, wherein rotational torque applied to said pin in a first direction causes the engagement of said flange with one of said opposed posts causing said drive coupling body to rotate in a first direction, and wherein rotation of said pin in an opposite direction causes said flange to bear against the opposite of said posts causing said drive coupling body to rotate in said opposite direction, whereby altering the position of said posts relative to said drive coupling body alters the rotational point of contact between said flange and said posts and the relative rotational position of said pin with respect to said drive coupling body and a roller tube secured thereto.
