Abstract: A window shade roller adapted for mounting by frictional engagement within the periphery of a window frame, or alternatively, by hang-mounting at receiving brackets on the window frame. The roller has one shaft projecting from a recess in one end that terminates in a spring-loaded pintle to enable raising and lowering the shade, and a spring-loaded second shaft extending through a cap closing a recess in the other end of the roller also terminating in a mounting pintle. The second shaft is selectively movable between a first retracted position so that only the pintle projects through the cap enabling hang-mounting of the shade, and a second telescoped position in which the roller may be frictionally secured within the window frame by placing friction members over the pintles.
