Abstract:
1. An architectural covering, comprising: a vertically-extending layer of a shade material between an elongate longitudinally-extending roller and an elongate longitudinally-extending bar; an elongate slit extending longitudinally along the length of the outer surface of the roller, the elongate slit communicating with an elongate groove formed within an interior of the roller; a top portion of the layer of shade material extending from the elongate groove in the interior of the roller through the elongate slit to the outer surface of the roller; the layer of shade material extending longitudinally along the roller, so that partial rotation of the roller causes the layer to move vertically and continued rotation of the roller winds the layer around the roller; an elongate longitudinally-extending top attachment member having at least two peaks along its length and being positioned in the elongate groove; wherein said vertically extending layer of shade material includes a substantially opaque horizontal stripe and immediately adjacent there beneath a horizontal open structured section having vertically extending open slots and a border defined between said opaque stripe and said open structured section, said attachment member being positioned within said groove such that said peaks are confined within said groove and said border is parallel with the roller, wherein when said top attachment member is positioned within said groove, said peaks extend through said slots in said open structured section of the layer of shade material such that the layer of shade material is slidably movable relative to, and hangs from, said top attachment member.
