Abstract: A window covering including a plurality of panels vertically suspended from a vertical securement member is provided. The plurality of panels is secured with the securement member about an upper longitudinal portion of the panels at spaced intervals along the securement member. The panels are freely suspended or dangled from the securement member such that a lower longitudinal portion of the panels is not connected with the securement member or the opening member. A weighted edge member may be included about the lower longitudinal portion of the panels. The window covering is opened by adjusting the opening member to rearwardly and vertically stack the plurality of panels.

Abstract: An improved Venetian blind type window covering having an open position and a closed position is provided. The window covering includes a plurality of panels suspended between a head rail and a bottom rail that provides a generally billowed appearance. A securement member and an adjustment member, in cooperation, are suitable for adjustably moving or tilting the plurality of blind panels to open and close the window covering. A tilting mechanism causes positional adjustment of the plurality of panels by raising and lowering at least the adjustment member.

Abstract: A fastener module and fabric panel suitable for use with a window covering having a plurality of openable rows is provided. More particularly, the fastener module enables engagement and disengagement of control cords from panels of a window covering.

Abstract: A window covering having a plurality of panels comprising a head rail and a plurality of panels suspended from the head rail by a securement member and at least one opening member is provided. Each of the plurality of panels is collapsible and includes a pair of opposed longitudinal regions. A bottom rail may also be provided and suspended from the head rail such that the plurality of panels are located between the head rail and the bottom rail.

Abstract: A window covering including a plurality of panels vertically suspended from a vertical securement member is provided. The plurality of panels is secured with the securement member about an upper transverse portion of the panels at spaced intervals along the securement member. The closure rows are convertible between different configurations by detaching the lower transverse portions of the closure rows from the suspension members.

Abstract: A system for customizing lengths of fabric material for constructing rows of a window covering. The system includes a container box supported by a substrate and a cutter for trimming desired lengths of material from a roll of material.

Abstract: A window shade comprising a plurality of collapsible shade rows. Each of the shade rows being adjustable from a closed state to an opened state by an operating mechanism, and including a stiff first transverse region and an opposed second transverse region having a stiffened edge portion. When in the closed state, the window covering includes no or minimal gaps between the rows so that light is substantially or completely blocked. Also, the securement and opening members are also concealed from view when observed from the front or face of the window covering. The operating mechanism causes the narrowing of the rows by drawing the first transverse region and the opposed second transverse region closer together. The operating mechanism further causes the rows to be pivotally rotated to further widen opening in the window covering.

Abstract: An improved Venetian blind type window covering having an open position and a closed position is provided. When in a closed position, the window covering presents a face that conceals a securement member and an adjustment member. The window covering also includes a bottom rail, and a plurality of slats between the head rail and the bottom rail. The securement member and the adjustment member, in cooperation, are suitable for adjustably moving or tilting the plurality of blind slats to open and close the window covering. A blind slat tilting mechanism causes positional adjustment of the plurality of blind slats by raising and lowering at least the adjusting member.
