Abstract
A bracket can be attached to a vertical wall so that it extends out from said wall. The bracket can hold a fixed rod to which is attached a shade. A second rod can be attached to the bottom of the shade. Cords pass over the bottom of the shade and through the brackets. Pulling on the cords raises the shade and releasing the cords lowers the shade.
