Abstract
A head rail holder extension for use with a blind trimming machine having a horizontal support member defining a pathway for a sliding stabilizer block. The sliding stabilizer block is adapted to move along the pathway and is adapted to be locked at positions along the length of the pathway. A channel-shaped member with an opening is attached to the stabilizer block. An adjustable stop is disposed adjacent to the channel shaped member such that the adjustable stop can be moved into a first position where it blocks the opening and a second position where it allows the head rail to extend beyond the stop.

A head rail holder extension, comprising:
- a horizontal support member;
- a sliding stabilizer block adapted to move along the horizontal support member and adapted to be locked at positions along the length of the horizontal support member;
- an elongate channel-shaped member having a bottom wall and two side walls disposed substantially parallel to at least one scale, the channel-shaped member having an opening for receiving a head rail and being attached to the stabilizer block;
- an adjustable stop disposed adjacent to the channel shaped member such that the adjustable stop can be moved into a first position where it blocks the opening and a second position where it allows the head rail to extend beyond the stop;
- and,
- the at least one scale disposed on the horizontal support member.
A head rail holder extension comprising:
- a horizontal support member;
- a sliding stabilizer block adapted to move along the horizontal support member and adapted to be locked at positions along the length of the horizontal support member;
- a channel-shaped member having an opening and being attached to the stabilizer block, wherein the channel-shaped member terminates in an end wall;
- an adjustable stop disposed adjacent to the channel shaped member such that the adjustable stop can be moved into a first position where it blocks the opening and a second position where it allows a head rail to extend beyond the stop;
- a first scale disposed on the horizontal support member;
- and
- a second scale, wherein an endpoint of the second scale is offset from zero by an amount equal to about the distance from the adjustable stop to the end wall of the channel-shaped member.
