Benefits of technology

[0039]b. raising the shade such that the release mechanism connects with the header.

Problems solved by technology

Prior art systems, however, are cumbersome and unwieldily.
This requires the user to learn to go to one side or the other depending on what function is desired and the tangle of multiple cords is a constant worry and problem.
It is also limited to requiring a light sensor.

Embodiment Construction

[0055]The preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated by way of example in FIGS. 1-13. With specific reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, automatic releasable top down shade system 10 includes a header 12. Header 12, as is known in the art, includes brackets 14 that are used to connect header 12 in an opening, such as a window, for example, not shown. Header 12 also includes front cover 16 and end caps 18 and generally serves to support and conceal within it shade 20 and other devices and systems such as motors, batteries, electronics and the like that are also known in the art and not shown.

[0056]Shade 20 is any type of covering now known or hereafter developed that is capable of repetitive deployment and which may be transparent or partially transparent or non-transparent as the situation requires and the user desires. Importantly, according to the present invention, shade 20 includes an upper section 22 and a lower section 24, as will be described more fully hereafter....
