How do roller blinds work?

Roller blinds consist simply of fabric, a hollow tube, a ratchet and a spring. The fabric is wrapped around the tube and extends down to cover your window as the tube is rotated (for a slightly cruder yet accurate image — think toilet paper and holder). The ratchet holds the window blind in place for times when you only want it part-way down your window. The spring provides the correct amount of tension to the blind to facilitate a smooth operation.
