ABSTRACT:
A drapery, a supporting apparatus for said drapery, and a method of making a pleated drapery is provided. The drapery is provided with a structure for pleating the drapery in a pattern as it is moved out of a window covering position. The pleater structure includes a backing member attached to a plurality of spaced apart stiffening members. The pleater structure is attached to at least the top portion of the drapery. Fasteners are provided on each stiffening member for attaching the drapery to sliding carriers in a track on a support channel. Each end of the drapery is secured to appropriate sliding carriers and have friction members engaging with the track to arrest free movement of the drapery relative to the track. The vertically hinged stiffening members provide pleats in the drapery when the ends of the drapery are moved closer together. In one modification, a restrainer is provided between the fasteners to provide varying degrees of fullness to the drapery by preventing the stiffening members from becoming flat.
