- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to window treatments and more particularly to a window treatment such as a shade that can be raised to various levels and secure at the raised level by a simple system of buttons and straps.
- 2. Description of Prior Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98
- Window treatments of various types are well known in the art. They include curtains, shades, drapes, fabric panels, blinds, valances and they like and may be made of fabric, wood, metal, jute, bamboo or the like. Such window treatments are usually employed to reduce the amount of light passing through the window over which they are mounted and often utilize mechanisms including systems of draw strings and pulleys to permit the window treatment to be raised to a desired level and to be secured at that level.
- Such mechanisms are costly and complicated. Further, they are prone to breaking, especially after years of use. Moreover, they can be dangerous because small children can get their head tangled in the draw strings and hang themselves.
- I am aware of a window treatment designed to be raised to different levels and secured using sets of horizontally arranged buttons and loops, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,832,642 issued Dec. 21, 2004 to Titus et al. entitled: “Window Treatment Panels.” However, the Titus window treatment is limited in the levels at which the panels can be secured, is difficult to use and generally not aesthetically pleasing in appearance.
- It is, therefore, a prime object of the present invention to provide a window treatment that can be raised and secured at different levels utilizing a simple, inexpensive, easy to operate and aesthetically pleasing button system.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a window treatment that can be raised and secured at different levels that is not dangerous to small children.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a window treatment that can be raised and secured at different levels that is made up of a small number of simple parts that cooperate together reliably to provide a window treatment with a long useful life.
- In general, those objects are achieved through the use of a simple button and strap system that permits the lower edge of the window treatment to be rolled up to the desired level and then to be secured at that level by simple inserting buttons into selected button holes on the straps.
- In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a window treatment is provided including a flexible panel. Means are provided for securing the top of the panel such that the panel is situated over a window. The panel has a front surface and a back surface. A set of substantially vertically arranged buttons are affixed at spaced intervals on the front panel surface. A strap extends along the back panel surface. The strap has at least one button hole adapted to receive a selected one of the buttons from the button set on the front of the panel to retain a rolled portion of the panel in a raised position determined by the button selected.
- A second set of substantially vertically arranged buttons is preferably affixed at spaced intervals on the front panel surface. A second strap extends along the back panel surface. The second strap has at least one button hole adapted to receive a selected one of the buttons from the second set.
- Preferably, the second set of buttons is spaced from the first set of buttons and the second strap is spaced from the first strap.
- Means are provided for attaching one end of the first strap proximate the top of the panel. Means are also provided for attaching one end of the second strap proximate the top of the panel.
- Preferably, a strip of binding material is situated on the front panel surface. The buttons of the first set are fixed to the front panel surface through the binding strip. Likewise, a second strip of binding material is situated on the front panel surface and the buttons of the second set are fixed to the front panel surface through the second binding strip.
- The second set of buttons is preferably affixed along a substantially vertical line at spaced intervals on the front panel surface. The second set of buttons is spaced from the first set of buttons. The second strap is spaced from the first strap.
- In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a window treatment is provided including a flexible panel. Means are provided for securing the top of the panel such that the panel is situated over a window. The panel has a front surface and a back surface. A set of substantially vertically arranged buttons is affixed at spaced intervals on the front panel surface. A strap extends along the back panel surface. The strap has at least two button holes adapted to respectively receive a selected two of the buttons to retain a rolled portion of the panel in a raised position determined by the buttons selected.
- Preferably, a second set of substantially vertically arranged buttons is affixed at spaced intervals on the front panel surface. The window treatment also has a second strap extending along the back panel surface. The second strap has at least two button holes adapted to respectively receive a selected two buttons of the second set of buttons.
- Preferably, the second set of buttons is spaced from the first set of buttons and the second strap is spaced from the first strap.
- Means are provided for attaching one end of the first strap proximate the top of the panel. Means are also provided for attaching on end of the second strap to the top of the panel.
- A strip of binding material is situated on the front panel surface. The buttons of the first set are fixed to the front panel surface through said binding strip. Likewise, a second strip of binding material is situated on the front panel surface. The buttons of the second set are fixed to the front panel surface through the second binding strip.
- To these and to such other objects that may hereinafter appears, the present invention relates to a button-up window treatment as described in detail in the following specification, and recited in the annexed claims, taken together with the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals refer to like parts and in which:
-
