Title:
WINDOW SHADE LINER METHOD AND APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006023905
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A Roman shade accepts a removable liner to block sunlight and provide privacy. The retraction mechanism draws the shade up in tiers with one or more cords. The liner links to the shade across the top of the shade and at the top edges of tiers, with the tiers formed either in the shade or in the liner itself. Links between shade and liner at the tier tops are closable loops. A hook-and-loop tape is preattached to the top edge of the liner, while a separate strip of adhesive-backed, mating hook-and-loop tape is furnished for user attachment to the top edge of any tier-lift shade. Once the user attaches the links at the tiers, the liner forms tiers mirroring the tiers of the Roman shade as the two are raised together.
