Abstract:
A retractable cellular shade is illustrated in various embodiments to consist of a support structure that could assume numerous forms including cellular material, flexible sheets of material, tapes or ribbons, or flexible monofilaments or similar cords of natural or synthetic fibers with the support structure supporting a plurality of vanes or slats in various configurations and orientations. The movement of the vanes or slats is totally dependent upon movement of the support structure. The fabric so formed can be incorporated into a covering for architectural openings with the covering including a headrail with means for gathering the fabric material within the headrail.

Abstract:
In a spring-loaded curtain mount, the mount includes a pole interface at a proximal end, a compressive mechanism, and a head at a distal end. The pole interface is adapted to receive the end of a standard length adjustable pole or a painter's pole. The compression mechanism is disposed between the proximal end of the mount and the head. The mount includes a coupling device adapted to receive a portion of a curtain. During installation, the curtain mount is coupled to the end of an extension pole and the length of the pole is adjusted such that the combined length of the pole and mount is slightly longer than the distance between the floor and ceiling. At ground level, a portion of the curtain is attached to the head of the curtain mount. The curtain and mount are raised to the ceiling and the mount and pole are compressed between the floor and the ceiling. This compressive force operates to urge the head toward the ceiling, securing the mount in place.
Abstract:
A retractable covering for architectural openings having collapsible vanes includes a head rail and support structure in the form of a sheet of material, monofilaments, tapes, ribbons, cords, or the like, supporting an upper edge of a plurality of vertically spaced, horizontally extending vanes with the lower edges of the vanes being connected to operating elements adapted to raise the lower edges of each vane toward the upper edges to define openings or gaps between the vanes through which vision and light can pass in an open condition of the covering. The support structure, vanes and operating elements are adapted to be wrapped around a roller in the head rail in a retracted position of the covering and unwrapped in an extended position. An inhibitor system is incorporated into the covering to permit automatic opening of the vanes when the support structure, vanes and operating elements reach an extended position.

Abstract:
The present invention consists of a system for fixing a cloth, such as a tablecloth (12) to a table (14) or other flat surface, also permitting to apply to the same cloth decorative elements, in particular what is known in this technical field as “draperies” (13). This system is constituted by a fixed element (1) that is attachable to the table (14) or other surface, inside which the cloth (12) is inserted and then blocked by a mobile element (2) that fits into the fixed elements (1). The mobile element (2) has a strip of Velcro (5) on its outer side, so that other accessories, such as “draperies” (13) for tablecloths, may be applied.
Abstract:
A combining device for tightly fixing a screen to a wall is disclosed. The screen is suspended from a rod body so that it is expanded by the rod body. Screen shields an area defined by the rod body. The combining device comprises a female combining unit and a male combining unit. The female combining unit has a folding line. A first part of the male combining unit is a turning portion. A second part of the female combining unit is adhered to the screen. A sticky strip is adhered on the male combining unit. The male combining unit adhered to a wall by using an adhering sheet. A width of the second part is approximately equal to the total widths of the male combining unit and the adhering sheet. The sticky strip of the turning portion can be combined to one surface of the female combining unit as the turning portion is turned from the folding line.
