Patent ID: 6854502

Claim:
A multi-functional shading device, comprising: a top traverse supporter adapted for affixing to a top beam of a window; a first shading arrangement downwardly extended from said top traverse supporter comprising a base member and a first operating means for selectively lifting up said base member towards said traverse supporter and unlifting said base member to drop downwardly away from said traverse supporter, wherein said first operating means comprises a first lift lock rotatably mounted on said traverse supporter and a pair of lift cords each having a first end portion extended to said bottom bar, each of said two lift cords being upwardly extended to penetrate through said first shading arrangement and then traversely extends through said traverse supporter, wherein a second end portion of each of said lift cords is extended out of said traverse supporter via said first lift lock to control said folding and unfolding of said first shading arrangement; a second shading arrangement comprising an upper supporter, a base stabilizer, a translucent fabric, which is folded in a Z-shaped manner, downwardly extended from said base member to said base stabilizer, and a second operating means for folding and unfolding said translucent fabric, wherein said first and second shading arrangements having different light intensity blocking abilities are adapted for selectively blocking lights passing through from one side to another side of said shading arrangements respectively, wherein said second operating means comprises a lift locker slidably mounted on said base stabilizer, a lift cord having a first end affixed to said base stabilizer and a second end affixed to said lift locker wherein said lift cord penetrates through two side portions of said translucent fabric and extends along said upper supporter, and a lift retaining device applying an urging force to said lift locker so as to retain said lift locker on said base stabilizer in position; and a H-shaped connecting member having a top mounting slot and a bottom mounting slot wherein said base member of said first shading arrangement is slidably inserted into said top mounting slot and said upper supporter of said second shading arrangement is slidably inserted into said bottom mounting slot so as to securely connect said second shading arrangement to said first shading arrangement.
