A one-piece clamp assembly for a window covering is disclosed. The window covering consists of a left side portion and right side portion connected to a moveable hinge portion. The left side portion comprises a plurality of rounded extrusions and at least one vertical rounded extrusion that securely mates into a hole or slot on the right side portion. The left side portion further comprises extruded walls that mate with single and double spikes found on the right side portion. The extruded portions and mating spikes provide for a secure connection of the clamp assembly to the window covering. A connecting slot is placed on either the left or ride side portion, enabling the clamp assembly to fasten to a head rail fastener of a window covering.

A modular shade includes at least one module that consists of a head rail unit, a foot rail unit, at least one intermediate rail unit, and a plurality of slat components. A top slat may be coupled to the head rail unit and the intermediate rail unit, and a bottom slat component may be coupled to the intermediate rail unit and the foot rail unit. Further, additional intermediate rail units and intermediate slat components may be added to the module to alter the shape and size of the module, and the module may be coupled to one or more additional modules to change the overall shape and size of the modular shade.

There is disclosed curtain-blind system in which hangers are used to hang multiple sections of the overall curtain-blind. Each section of the curtain-blind has a first surface, a second surface, a first connector clamping the first surface, and a second connector clamping the second surface. The first connector is releasably hung on a first hanger and the second connector is releasably hung on a second hanger. The curtain-blind sections are arranged side-by-side on the respective hangers in use with the first connector of one curtain-blind section being independently releasable from an adjacent curtain-blind section whilst remaining clamped to the first surface. In this way individual sections can be hung and removed independently of other sections of the curtain-blind. There is also disclosed a hanger for the curtain blind system which has a head portion arranged to be received in a head-rail and a hanger portion depending below the head portion. The hanger portion is configured to releasably hold independent connectors of first and second curtain-blind sections such that said sections are hung adjacently on the hanger portion in a side-by-side arrangement.

A drape element includes a sheet of flexible, non-magnetic material having opposed first and second longitudinal sheet edges, a longitudinal centerline toward which is defined an inward direction and away from which is defined an outward direction, and a first longitudinal pocket disposed proximate the first longitudinal sheet edge. A first straight magnetic wire is disposed in the longitudinal direction within an inward longitudinal portion of the first longitudinal pocket, and a first alternating sequence of magnets and non-magnetic spacers is disposed within an outward longitudinal portion of the first longitudinal pocket. Each of the magnets has opposed first and second magnetic poles, with a respective first magnetic pole of each of the magnets being disposed in contact with the first straight magnetic wire.

The invention relates to a double articulated device and system comprising at least one active element provided with an edge (M), with two points (M1) and (M2), where (M1) is different from (M2), a rotating element connected to the edge (M) and a rotating fixture positioned in the point (M1) of the edge (M) and connected to the rotating element, in which, during actuation, the active element simultaneously describes a rotational movement with an angle β around the rotating element, and a partial pivoting movement in the vertical plane around the rotating fixture, so that the point (M2) of the edge (M) describes an angle a between a value α.sub.max corresponding to the “open” position ES0 and a value α.sub.min which corresponds to an ES1 “closed” position of the device.

A blind co-used sheet includes a vertical first blind sheet, a vertical second blind sheet, transverse double-layered blind sheets sown between the first and second blind sheets and fixing plate assemblies for securely holding front ends of the transverse double-layered blind sheets. The transverse double-layered blind sheets can be turned from a transverse state into a vertical state and used as a vertical blind. Alternatively, the transverse double-layered blind sheets can be 90-degree turned back from the vertical state into the transverse state and used as a Shangri-la blind. Two sides of the transverse double-layered blind sheet have upward and downward extending sunshade sections, which can overlap each other. A sunshade sheet is disposed in the transverse double-layered blind sheet to locate the blind sheets.

A vertical curtain blind includes a panel assembly having a plurality of individual panels coupled together in a side-by-side arrangement. Each panel extends in a vertical direction between a top end and a bottom end. Additionally, each panel includes first and second pockets positioned along first and second sides of the panel, respectively, adjacent to the top end of the panel. The blind associated includes a plurality of clip assemblies, with each clip assembly being configured to couple a respective pair of adjacent panels of the plurality of panels together. Each clip assembly includes a first connector clip positioned within the first pocket of a first panel of the respective pair of adjacent panels and a second connector clip positioned within the second pocket of an adjacent second panel of the respective pair of adjacent panels, with the first connector clip configured to be coupled to the second connector clip.

A covering for an architectural opening has a dual cord operating system. The covering may include a head rail, blind panels depending from the head rail, and an operating system. The operating system may include a housing connected to the head rail, a first drive assembly rotatably mounted within the housing and operable to move the blind panels between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration, and a second drive assembly rotatably mounted within the housing and operable to move the blind panels between a closed configuration and an open configuration.

A modular shade includes at least one module that consists of a head rail unit, a foot rail unit, at least one intermediate rail unit, and a plurality of slat components. A top slat may be coupled to the head rail unit and the intermediate rail unit, and a bottom slat component may be coupled to the intermediate rail unit and the foot rail unit. Further, additional intermediate rail units and intermediate slat components may be added to the module to alter the shape and size of the module, and the module may be coupled to one or more additional modules to change the overall shape and size of the modular shade.

A window shade may include a shade, a sliding base, a weight track, a first blocking unit, and two second blocking units. The shade has two mount bars respectively formed at an upper end and a lower end thereof, and the shade is connected to the sliding base and the weight track through the two mount bars. The position of the sliding base is limited by the first blocking unit while the second blocking units are configured to limit the position of the weight track. With the first blocking unit and the two second blocking units, the shade can be replaced easily, and also the structural stability of the window shade is improved.
