Abstract

A multi-paneled drapery construction is disclosed wherein four separate fabric panels, each having a respective finished side for display, are assembled and joined together to produce an integrated drapery article having an open bottom end and a pair of reversible rod pockets formed thereon for alternately suspending the drapery article so that the finished sides may be selectively displayed at equal lengths. The rod pockets are formed from the assembled panels and disposed in juxtaposition along the top of the drapery article, each of the pair being seamed together along their intermediate length to allow one of the rod pockets to be exposed upon the drapery article while the other rod pocket is contained within. The rod pockets are reversed in their respective positions by withdrawing the rod pockets together through the open bottom end of the drapery article. The finished sides of the fabric panels are preferably of different print designs and have coordinated colors and patterns so that the drapery article can provide multiple decorating options.

[0002] In the field of interior design, curtains and drapery constructions made of fabric material are used extensively to cover and decorate windows, walls and other surface areas throughout homes and offices. Typically sewn together and made in a variety of designs and patterns, these drapery constructions are generally hung on rods in a substantially vertical position over and upon the surface area to be covered or decorated and are often adapted to move along the rods and across the associated surfa...
