Abstract

An improved Roman blind assembly is disclosed. The Roman blind assembly consists of a fabric screen having opposite first and second sides and opposite first and second ends. A plurality of parallel roman bars are mounted horizontally to the first side of the fabric screen between the first and second ends of the screen. A lowermost roman bar is mounted to the screen near the first end of the screen and a pair of parallel support cords are mounted to the lowermost roman bar. A roller clutch assembly is mounted to the first side of the fabric screen adjacent the second end of the screen. The support cords are coupled to the clutch assembly and the clutch assembly is adapted to raise and lower the cords. Each of the support cords pass through an elongated opening in the screen, said openings positioned adjacent the second end of the screen. After exiting the openings, the cords pass along the second side of the screen. Each cord is slidingly attached to each roman bar.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of US provisional patent application Ser. No. 60 / 695,011 filed Jun. 30, 2005, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates generally to assemblies for constructing roman blinds. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Roman blinds are a common and popular type of blind. The traditional roman blind generally found in the market consists of a substantially flat sheet of fabric which is mounted to a plurality of parallel horizontal bars suspended from at least one pair of suspension cords. The suspension cords are suspended from a head assembly, which controls the lifting and lowering of the suspension cords. Lifting or lowering the suspension cords causes the bars to lift and lower, thereby drawing up the fabric screen or lowering it. As the blind is lifted, the parallel horizontal bars form the fabric sheet into a series of horizontal folds. Th...
