Improvements In And Relating To Clutches For Blinds

Abstract The present invention relates to a chain guard housing and clutch assembly for a blind comprising: a first end which is inserted into a roller blind tube; 5 a second end engageable with a wall mounting bracket; a drive spline forming the outer part of the chain guard housing and clutch assembly which engages with the inside of a roller blind tube; a chain wheel, connected to the drive spline; a chain cover module comprising a rim, the rim covering part of the chain wheel; 10 a central pin extending from the drive spline at the first end, the central pin comprising at least one deformable leg engaged with the chain cover via an outward facing catch face on the leg, thus preventing axial movement of the chain cover module relative to the drive spline; and a quick release actuator located at a second end of the assembly comprising an 15 inner annular abutment surface in contact with the at least one leg.
