Abstract: A retractable cover for architectural openings having collapsible vanes includes a 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 in most embodiments of the invention 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. Variations of the covering do not require movement of a lower edge of a vane relative to an upper edge but simply movement of some vanes relative to other vanes. The vanes can be made of materials having different flexibilities and where more rigid materials are used, creased fold lines can be established for desired operability.

Abstract: A retractable cellular shade is illustrated in various embodiments to consis t 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 suppo rt structure supporting a plurality of vanes or slats in various configurations and orientations. The movement of the vanes or slats is totally dependent up on 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: An apparatus and method for winding a sheet of aligned parallel yarns onto a beam is described. The beam winder utilizes a circularly arced yarn spool rack that feeds each yarn to an alignment comb through associated guide tubes. The distance between each spool of yarn and the alignment comb is substantially the same for all spools of yarn, thereby equalizing the force necessary to pull them to the comb. Next, the aligned sheet of material is preshrunk using heated rollers and wound onto a beam. Multiple speed controlled stepper motors are utilized to maintain a constant low level of tension in the sheet during the shrinking process. After shrinkage, the tension level of the yarn sheet is increased as it is wrapped onto the beam. A turntable that supports two or more beams is provided to facilitate the rapid switching of beams once one beam has become full.

Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating tubular vanes and adhering the vanes to a plurality of associated ladder tapes for use in a blind assembly for an architectural opening is described. The apparatus includes a first section for unrolling resin impregnated fabric tape, folding the tape, and cutting the tape to a predetermined length. In a second section of the apparatus, the cut and folded tape is bonded to together along its longitudinal edges to form a tubular vane. In the third and final section, the completed vane is positioned between the vertical cords of a plurality of associated ladder tapes and the vane is adhesively bonded to a cross rung of each. After the vane has been bonded to the cross rungs, the ladder tapes are advanced and prepared for receipt of the next vane. The resulting subassembly of vanes is used to fabricate blind assemblies through the addition of headrails and bottom rails.

Abstract: An improved window covering for an architectural opening and method of manufacture are provided. The retractable window covering provides flexibility in manufacturing and ease of operation. The window covering comprises at least one vane extending along a backing. An operating element extends along the length of the backing and is movable in respect to the backing. The covering is coupled to a roller which enables the covering to be extended and retracted by rotation of the roller. An upper/first portion of the vane is fixed with respect to the backing and a lower/second portion is fixed relative to the operating element. Moving the operating element moves the lower/second portion relative to the upper/first portion of the vane.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to control an architectural opening covering assembly are disclosed herein. An example method disclosed herein includes in response to a first command to store a speed at which an architectural opening covering assembly is to be driven via a motor: identifying, with a logic circuit, a current position of the covering; determining, with the logic circuit, a distance between the current position of the covering and a reference position; calculating, with the logic circuit, the speed at which the covering is to be driven by dividing the distance by an amount of time in which the covering is to travel the distance; and storing, with the logic circuit, the speed at which the covering is to be driven; and in response to a second command to move the covering, operating the motor to move the covering at the stored speed.
