A roll type closure assembly for a window opening utilizing a roller shade mounted by brackets in the window opening. Side edge guides are provided which include a channel portion for receiving the side edges of the window shade, a mounting flange portion and a connecting portion between the mounting flange portion and the channel portion. A flex line is provided in the connecting portion to allow the mounting flange portion and the channel portion to be moved relative to each other between a first position extending generally perpendicular to a plane bisecting the channel portion for mounting on the window casing inside the window opening and a second position extending generally parallel to a plane bisecting the channel portion for mounting on the window casing outside the window opening. A U-shaped roller housing is provided for enclosing the roller and is mounted by end caps on the roller mounting brackets to provide a seal between the upper portion of the window shade and the top of the window casing.
A roll type closure assembly for a window opening defined by a window frame, the closure assembly including a roller, a pair of roller mounting brackets for supporting the ends of the roller on a window frame, a flexible panel having one end portion attached to the roller and adapted to be rolled on and unrolled from the roller, a pair of side edge guides for guiding side edge portions of the flexible panel, each side edge guide comprising a unitary extrusion including a lengthwise extending channel portion adapted to receive a side edge portion of the flexible panel and a lengthwise extending mounting flange portion and a lengthwise extending connecting portion intermediate the mounting flange portion to the channel portion, means providing a lengthwise extending flex line in the connecting portion to allow the mounting flange portion and the channel portion to be moved relative to each other between a first position extending generally perpendicular to a plane bisecting the channel portion for mounting on the window frame inside of the window opening and a second position extending generally parallel to a plane bisecting the channel portion for mounting on the window frame outside the window opening.
A roll type closure assembly for a window opening defined by a window frame, the closure assembly including roller means, a pair of roller mounting brackets each including a mounting plate portion adapted for mounting on a window frame and a roller support portion extending forwardly from the mounting plate portion, a flexible panel having one end portion attached to the roller means and adapted to be rolled on and unrolled therefrom, a pair of side edge guides for guiding side edge portions of the flexible panel, means for mounting the side edge guides on a window frame, a U-shaped housing including a front wall;
