Abstract
Improved apparatus for bottom up shades to minimize gaps between the shade material and the lintel or between the shade material and the side of the window. In one apparatus a support rod is attached to a pull cord which is attached to the headrail which causes a rotation of the head rail and results in moving the top of the shade to the lintel. In another apparatus a centering cord moves the shade to the side and a side support rod symmetrically hangs the shade, thus, eliminating the gap on the side. A further improvement of a valance on the bottom acts to hide the mechanism and to act as a cradle for the shade material and headrail when the shade is in the down position.
