Abstract

A slat or vane (30) for use in a covering for an architectural opening is suitable for use in either a horizontal or vertical orientation and in a horizontal orientation will not sag or droop, and in a vertical orientation will rotate uniformly along its length when rotated from end thereof. The slat (30) is formed in a tubular configuration and has a base material of glass fibers bonded together in a thermoformable resin so as to maintain the arcuate curvature desired for the tubular slat or vane (30). The slat (30) can be repeatedly deformed and will always return to its original configuration.

Claims (52)

1. A slat for a covering for an architectural opening comprising in combination:
an elongated tubular body formed from a material including glass fibers in a thermoformable resin whereby said body is flexible, resilient and will return to its original configuration after repeated deformations.
2. The slat of claim 1 wherein said material is a laminate including a first layer of glass fibers in a thermoformable resin and a second layer of a different material.
3. The slat of claim 2 wherein said first and second layers are bonded together.
4. The slat of claim 3 wherein said bonding is with a thermosetting adhesive.
5. The slat of claim 2 wherein said second layer is a fabric material.
6. The slat of claim 5 wherein said fabric material is woven.
7. The slat of claim 5 wherein said fabric material is non-woven.

11. The slat of claim 9 wherein said opposed edges are disposed interiorly of the tube defined by said body.
12. A method of forming a tubular slat for a covering for an architectural opening comprising the steps of:
providing an elongated strip of material having opposed longitudinal edges, said strip including glass fibers in a thermoformable resin, folding said strip along an approximate longitudinal line so that said edges are in adjacent relationship, and securing said edges together.
13. The method of claim 12 further including the step of forming said strip with an arcuate transverse configuration before said folding step.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein said edges are secured together exteriorly of the tube defined by said slat.
