  • Patent number: 4741375
    Abstract: Adjustable solarium shade apparatus including a rectangular two-layer shade, the two layers being sewn together to form a series of horizontal downwardly projecting loops into each of which is inserted a tubular curtain rod. The upper edge of the shade is attached to the interior wall of the solarium closely adjacent to the uppermost edge of the glass panels forming the roof of the solarium. The shade is suspended from a series of C-shaped tracks each located on the lower surface of one of the vertical beams supporting the glass panels of the roof and side wall of the solarium. The supporting mechanism includes a series of key rings sewn to the shade above the loops in the shade, a series of eyebolts connected to the key rings and supported by a nut nested in an inner race resting on the C-shaped track and surrounded by an outer race also resting on the C-shaped track. The shade is raised and lowered by a plurality of cords each threaded successively through vertically ascending eyebolts.
