Abstract
A locking mechanism is disclosed, which is installed in a movable rail of a window covering, and is passed through by a cord. The locking mechanism includes a locking unit and a pressing member, wherein the locking unit includes a stopping member which is movable between a first position and a second position. The stopping member is normally located at the first position to abut against the cord, which prevents the cord from moving relative to the locking mechanism, whereby to maintain the position of the movable rail. By pressing the pressing member, the stopping member is moved to the second position, where the stopping member no longer abuts against the cord. Therefore, when the movable rail is moved in a direction away from a fixed rail of the window covering, the cord can move relative to the locking mechanism. Whereby, the movable rail can be smoothly moved downward.
