Abstract: A blackout drapery lining including a first substrate of a textile material having an inner surface and an external surface, the external surface forming a first finished surface of the drapery lining. A first adhesive layer having an opaque pigment is adhered to the first substrate and covers the inner surface of the first substrate to provide a substantially light impermeable barrier for the drapery lining. The drapery lining also includes a second substrate of a textile material having an inner surface and an external surface, the inner surface of the second substrate being adhered to the first adhesive layer and the external surface of the second substrate forms a second finished surface of the drapery lining.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a two panel drapery lining. Each panel includes a vertical hem formed by folding over one vertical edge of each panel and stitching along a vertical line so as to leave a channel formed between the hem and an opposing portion of the panel. The vertical stitching line includes a gap so as to leave an opening into the channel. A magnetic sealing strip removably is disposable within the channels by insertion into the channel through the opening. When the panels are overlapped, the inner vertical edges may be secured to each other by the magnetic sealing strips.

Abstract: Multipaneled fabric elements such as draperies, curtains and bedspreads, or linings used therewith and, a method for making are disclosed. The elements include a fabric substrate. The fabric may be a woven textile, knit or non-woven material. The edges on either side of the fabric substrate are coated with a fusible material. The panels are cut to a predetermined length from a roll of the coated substrate. At least one edge of each panel is fused to the edge of the adjacent panel to create the finished element. Additional coatings such as a blackout layer may also be applied to the substrate.

Abstract: A weather resistant, vertically foldable, insulating, multi-layered textile composite is provided having a first outer layer composed of a knitted textile fabric with tightly interlaced synthetic textile yarns, which layer has water repellency properties. A second layer next to the first layer is composed of a tightly woven textile fabric having a flexible, polymeric essentially closed cell foam coating attached thereto. A third layer next to the second layer is composed of a non-woven batt of insulating textile fibers. A fourth layer next to the third layer is composed of an impervious synthetic polymeric film. A fifth layer next to the fourth layer is composed of a non-woven batt of chemical resistant textile fibers. A sixth inside layer next to the fifth layer is composed of a knitted textile fabric having tightly interlaced synthetic textile yarns, which layer has water repellency properties.
