An improved roller blind clutch assembly is disclosed for controlling the raising and lowering of a roller blind which permits the smooth raising and lowering of roller blinds even if the blinds are heavy. The improved roller blind clutch assembly includes a roller tube mount coaxially and rotatably mounted to a barrel. A clutch member is in turn coaxially and rotatably mounted to the barrel between the roller tube mount and the barrel. The clutch member has a window formed between a first and a second edge of the clutch member. A torsion locking spring is coaxially mounted to the barrel between the barrel and the clutch member. The torsion locking spring has opposite first and second ends which project into the window. The roller tube mount has an extension portion configured to extend into the window and dimensioned to fit between the first and second ends of the torsion locking spring. The extension has opposite first and second shoulders covered by a steel shim configured to fit between the extension and the torsion locking spring. The extension portion is also dimensioned and configured to maintain a gap between the extension and the torsion locking spring; thereby permitting the torsion locking spring from catching on the barrel as the clutch mechanism is used to raise and lower the blind. The extension portion has a concave face with a circular diameter less than the diameter of the torsion locking spring.
