Lift rod apparatus for cordless shades

Abstract

A lift rod apparatus for cordless shades includes a rod and an anchor plate. The rod has a upper end coupled with a latch member which has two opposing elongated ends and a holding bar spaced from the latch member. The anchor plate has a slot to be passed through by the latch member. The anchor plate can be installed on a cordless shade. The latch member can pass through the slot and be turned for a selected angle for coupling or removing. The rod has a selected length to aid users of not sufficient height to control rolling and extension of the cordless shade. Using of the cordless shade is more convenient.

 a rod which has a upper end coupled with a latch member and a holding bar located below the latch member and spaced therefrom at a selected distance, the latch member having two opposing elongated ends, the holding bar having an axial direction coinciding with a long side direction of the elongated ends; and    an anchor plate which has a coupling portion fastenable to a cordless shade, the coupling portion having an extension on one side, the extension having a slot to be passed through by the latch member.    
   
   
       2 . The lift rod apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion includes a plate, two side walls extended upwards from two opposite sides of the plate and two flanges extended from inner sides of the two side walls.  
   
   
       3 . The lift rod apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the rod has a lower end coupled with a handle.  
   
   
       4 . The lift rod apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion of the anchor plate is a plate which has an aperture.  
   
   
       5 . The lift rod apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the rod has a lower end coupled with a handle.  
   
   
       6 . The lift rod apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the rod has a lower end coupled with a handle.  
   
   
       7 . The lift rod apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the rod includes a sleeve and a stem that are movably coupled together, the sleeve having a housing space to movably hold the stem and a first aperture on a upper end and a second aperture on a lower end that are leading to the housing space, the latch member and the holding bar being located on a upper end of the stem, the stem having a trough on a lower end to hold a latch means, the latch means including a pushbutton which is engageable with the first aperture and the second aperture, and a spring coupling with the pushbutton.
