ABSTRACT:
An elongated strip of stiff material formed with a series of transverse folds across the strip. At least two adjacent panels between folds turn inwardly to form pleats between spaced control panels. Each control panel has at least two parallel string encasement means aligned with encasement means on other control panels. A control string through the control panels and extending beyond the strip draws all of the control panels into close proximity with adjacent control panels all in the same plane. Between adjacent control panels pleat panels are folded inwardly to form pleats which are then tacked to the control panels. All of the pleats are formed simultaneously and automatically. The top of the drapery material is folded over the strip and tacked together to form a sleeve over the strip. Each panel may be tacked to the drapery material. The strip may be extruded of synthetic material and the folds formed by stamping living hinges at desired intervals in the strip.
