ABSTRACT:
Improved apparatus for bottom up shades to minimize gaps between the shade material and the lintel or between the shade material and the side of the window. In one apparatus a support rod is attached to a pull cord which is attached to the headrail which causes a rotation of the head rail and results in moving the top of the shade to the lintel. In another apparatus a centering cord moves the shade to the side and a side support rod symmetrically hangs the shade, thus, eliminating the gap on the side. A further improvement of a valance on the bottom acts to hide the mechanism and to act as a cradle for the shade material and headrail when the shade is in the down position.
