Patent number: 11746590Abstract: A vertical cellular drape configured for use as a covering for an architectural structure may include a front drape panel and a rear drape panel. The front and rear drape panels may be coupled to each other so that the drape panels are configured to be moved laterally between an extended position and a retracted position to cover or expose an adjacent architectural structure, as desired. In addition, the drape panels may be configured to be positioned relative to each other such that a plurality of vertically oriented, internal cells are defined between the drape panels.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Hunter Douglas Inc.Inventors: John D. Rupel, Ren Judkins, Scott R. Cheslock, Toralf H. Strand

Patent number: 9316049Abstract: An expandable and contractable shade assembly includes a plurality of closed D-shaped cell structures aligned vertically one above another with juncture lines defined between adjacent structures. Each closed cell structure includes a front face and a separate back face that are attached to one another at top and bottom tabs. The front face of one cell structure is attached but non-continuous to the front face of an adjacent cell structure. Accordingly the horizontal width of the shade assembly is not limited by the width of the materials forming the individual cell structures. Upon collapse, the back face folds toward the front of the shade such that the back face and the front face are nested within one another, leading to a narrow depth profile for the collapsed shade.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Hunter Douglas, Inc.Inventors: John D. Rupel, Scott R. Cheslock

Patent number: 8794295Abstract: An expandable and contractable shade assembly includes a plurality of closed cell structures aligned vertically one above another with juncture lines defined between adjacent structures. Each closed cell structure includes a front face and a separate back face. The front face and the back face are offset from one another in relation to a vertical axis. In one embodiment, for instance, the front face of a higher cell is connected to both the front face and back face of a lower cell, while the back face of the higher cell is only connected to the back face of the lower cell. In an alternative embodiment, the front face of a higher cell is only connected to the front face of a lower cell, while the back face of the higher cell is connected to both the front face and the back face of the lower cell. The above configuration can increase strength and dimensional stability of the interconnected cells.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Hunter Doouglas, Inc.Inventors: John D. Rupel, Scott R. Cheslock
