Abstract
An improved roller shade tube assembly is provided. The assembly includes a roller or tube member having an outside surface around which a fabric shade is wound. The fabric shade has outside and inside sheets between which are a series of fabric slats. The assembly also includes an extension wing element having one end that is pivotally connected to the outside surface of the roller member and a second opposite end to which one of the fabric sheets is attached.
Claims23
A roller shade tube assembly comprising a fabric shade, a roller having an outside surface around which said fabric shade is selectively wound thereabout, and an extension wing having one end pivotally connected to the outside surface of said roller, and from which said fabric shade is at least partially supported, said extension wing comprising a series of segments and a stiffening element retained by said segments and running the length of said wing.
A roller shade tube assembly comprising an elongated roller having an outside surface and an extension wing extending substantially the length of said roller and being pivotally connected at one end to said surface and comprising a series of segments and a stiffening element retained by said segments and running the length of said wing.
A roller shade tube assembly comprising a roller having an outside surface around which a fabric shade may be wound thereabout and an extension wing pivotally connected at one end to said surface and pivotal between a retracted position in which said wing is disposed substantially entirely in a recessed portion along said surface and an extended position in which said wing is disposed away from said surface.
A roller shade tube assembly comprising a fabric shade, a roller having an outside surface around which said fabric shade is selectively wound thereabout and an extension wing having one end pivotally connected to the outside surface of said roller and from which said fabric shade is at least partially supported;
- wherein said extension wing is pivotal between a retracted position in which said wing is disposed substantially entirely in a recessed portion along said outside surface and an extended position in which said wing is disposed away from said surface.
A roller shade tube assembly comprising an elongated roller having an outside surface and an extension wing extending substantially the length of said roller and being pivotally connected at one end to said surface so as to pivot between a retracted position and an extended position in which said wing extends away from said surface;
- wherein said extension wing is connected to said surface by means of a pivot mechanism located at said one end and including a stop member for preventing said extension wing from pivoting beyond said extended position.
A roller shade tube assembly comprising a fabric shade, an elongated roller having an outside surface around which said fabric shade is selectively wound thereabout and an extension wing extending substantially the length of said roller and having one end pivotally connected to the outside surface of said roller from which said fabric shade is at least partially supported;
- wherein said extension wing is pivotal by means of a pivot mechanism at said one end between a retracted position and an extended position in which said wing extends away from said surface;
- wherein said pivot mechanism includes a stop for preventing said extension wing from pivoting beyond said extended position.
