c ontinue with the theme of the blind, after seeing the basic parts that make up this mechanism (see here ) try explain how to change the tape or strap of the blind. The first thing to do is remove the lid access to the upper roller and once discovered, we will raise the shade to stop turning it by hand.
With the blinds moving up one of the sheets a little, so that tripping over the fence and not go down alone and we can work with both hands.
We remove the old tape, or what remains of it, pulley. Typically the strap is bolted to the pulley with a screw or stuck on a groove of the pulley and then a knot prevents exit. We
new tape with the same restraint system of the former taking into account any detail: 1 - sense input is not the same coming through the bottom of the pulley above, this gives us the situation is indicated by the support rollers are mounted on the access cover and 2 - you may need to have some extra lap belt on the pulley so that later the blinds go up at all. Once
secures the tape to put it on the print block that prevented the movement and slowly lower the shade we sure that the belt is good, "combed through the pulley.
doing so we ensure two things: A - have the required tape roll with neither more nor missing. and B - if have to correct the amount of tape we have chance to test-run before completing the project.
In this situation: blind down with the tape wound on the pulley and can cut the tape, the normal measure is twice the height of the window but if we did follow my method you only have to cut the tape about a foot by collected under the mechanism and the necessary amount of belt is wrapped around the top pulley.
And now the time to connect the tape to the picker mechanism (pictured), here too we have two basic forms of restraint: a screw or a T-shaped tab where you only have to give a cut to tape so that between the tongue and then she alone is bound by the pulling force of the mechanism. The important thing is, before you connect, check that the tape works without laps, which follows its logical course - pulley, yoke and spring collection. And of course:
Before attaching the tape to the collection mechanism or spring must turn this until you have the maximum tension, if not pick up the tape.
might explain as it sounds complicated but it is as simple DIY home. All parts will be mounted when you seem to ask for your posture and once made a blind look the other kid stuff.
