An arch-shaped shade has a channel, an insert and a pleated sheet with at least one of the pleats sandwiched between the insert and the channel, and the opening in the channel is narrower than the sandwiched pleated sheet. The arch-shaped shade can be formed in a fixed open position or can be foldable with a hinge in the center. The channel can have various configurations, and various types of corresponding inserts can slide into the channel.

A retractable covering for an arched window including a first and a second panel formed of pliable material. A flap of the first panel overlaps a flap of the second panel. The first and second panels together have a generally arch-shaped upper perimeter adapted to be secured to a support structure and have a generally straight lower perimeter. A retracting mechanism moves the first and second panels between a closed position wherein the arched window is substantially covered and an open position wherein the arched window is substantially uncovered. The retracting mechanism includes a first cord secured to the first panel flap, and a second cord secured to the second panel flap. The retracting mechanism having a first operating state to position the first and second panels in the open position and a second operating state wherein the first and second panels are positioned in the closed. The retracting mechanism further includes a cord guide through which at least a portion of the first and second cords extend. The cord guide guides the first and second cords along the arched perimeter of the first and second panels.

A plantation window shutter comprises a frame and a plurality of shutter blades pivotably supported by the frame in a fan configuration. The frame comprises a front surface and a rear surface. The rear surface has a plurality of upper grooves and a plurality of lower grooves, each upper groove being axially aligned with a respective lower groove. Each of the shutter blades has a longitudinal pivotal axis and a top pivot and a bottom pivot aligned along the axis, the top pivot and the bottom pivot being received in respective upper groove and the lower groove for pivotal motion therein. At least one member is attached to the rear surface disposed to bridge over the upper grooves and the lower grooves, thereby to capture the top and bottom pivots within respective the upper grooves and the lower grooves.

A window covering for an oddly-shaped window includes a panel, having a flexible bottom edge, and a top edge attached at a top of the window. The panel is configured to be drawn upward by the bottom edge to uncover the window, and to lower to a substantially planar configuration to substantially cover the window. The bottom edge is configured to at least partly conform to a shape of the top of the window when drawn up thereagainst. At least two pull cords are attached to the bottom edge, and are configured to raise and lower the panel.

A flexible curved window is made by arranging a plurality of fine size elongated rods in a parallel manner. A plurality of strings interlaced between alternate ones of the rods to form a matt-like base structure and a flexible liquid absorbent sheet material wetted with adhesive is applied over the surface of the matt-like base structure and then trimmed to fit the size of the latter. When the adhesive is dried and set the contraction of the sheet material causes the blind to curve towards the surface having the sheet material.

An apparatus and method for selectively positioning a shade along an arcuate path to cover at least a portion of an arched window. The apparatus includes first member immovably associated and spaced from the arched window. The apparatus also includes a second member rotatingly associated with respect to the first member. The second member is rotatable between at least first and second angular positions to move the shade between an extended position and a retracted position. The apparatus also includes members for selectively positioning the shade along the arcuate path including a biasing member and a compressible member.
摘要:
The object of the present invention is to provide window coverings for nonrectangular windows and openings. The present invention utilizes a sliding headrail which allows a shade to be fitted exactly to a myriad of nonrectangular window shapes and to be opened or closed without placing undue stress upon the shade material or causing unsightly bunching of the shade material. A single headrail may also be used in appropriate circumstances. The sliding headrail keeps shade material neat and flat within the window frame, and if pleated or honeycombed, maintains the pleats in their natural horizontal arrangement. The window shade is not limited to the use of any particular shade materials, and can use virtually any window covering material depending on the appropriateness of the application. Shade material is attached to the sliding headrail segments at various points via shade leveling rods and support rods. The shade leveling rods allow the shade material to remain horizontally level regardless of whether the shade is partially or fully open or closed. This benefit is especially apparent when the shade material used is pleated. The regular spacing of attachment points along the edge of the shade material reduces the stress due to drawing the shade open or closed placed upon any one point, ensures the appropriate distribution of the shade in the frame, and prevents drooping of lateral ends. The shade leveling rod also prevents the stress associated with drawing shade material into nonrectangular areas such as pitches, peaks, and arches. Also attached to the sliding headrail, the support rods run along the width of and are fastened to the shade, either internal or external to the shade material, to provide further distributive support.
