Architectural-structure coverings, and components thereof

An architectural-structure covering comprising:

• a rotatable member;
• a covering including a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion operatively coupled to the rotatable member, the covering being movable between a retracted position and an extended position;
• and
• a bottom rail operatively coupled to the bottom portion of the covering;
• wherein the rotatable member includes a scoop defining a pocket arranged and configured to maintain the bottom rail within the pocket when the rotatable member is not positioned within a predetermined or desired rotational range and, when positioned within the predetermined or desired rotational range, the scoop is arranged and configured to enable the bottom rail to deploy from the rotatable member.

An architectural-structure covering, comprising:

• a rotatable member including a front, room-facing surface and a rear surface opposite the front surface, the rear surface of the rotatable member being positioned closer to an underlying architectural-structure, in use, than the front, room-facing surface;
• and
• a covering operably coupled to the rotatable member, the covering being wrapped about and unwrapped from the rear surface of the rotatable member so that the covering can be moved between a retracted position and a fully deployed position, the covering including:
• a front vertical sheet having a height and width;
• a rear vertical sheet having a height and a width and operably coupled and moveable relative to the front vertical sheet;
• and
• a plurality of vanes extending between the front and rear sheets, wherein:
• each vane includes a top layer, a bottom layer, a front edge, and a rear edge;
• each vane is coupled to the front sheet along a first horizontal line of attachment and to the rear sheet along a second horizontal line of attachment;
• and
• in the fully deployed position, the first horizontal line of attachment is spaced a vertical distance D1 above the second horizontal line of attachment and the front edge is spaced a vertical distance from the first horizontal line of attachment and the rear edge is spaced is a vertical distance from the second horizontal line of attachment.
