ABSTRACT:
A retractable arced window covering for arced windows. The invention is a pleated fan covering for arced windows which can be remotely operated by a pull cord for opening and closing the covering. The arced window covering includes a base which hides the retracted covering, a first arced track extending from the base, and a foldable pleated member which is suspended from the tract on a rigid member having a hook-shaped upper end mounted on the arced track, the rigid member being either one-piece or having telescoping upper and lower sections, and can be drawn along the track using a cord. The present invention has a second embodiment in which there are two foldable pleated members that can be drawn along the track in opposite directions either independently or in unison from a horizontal retracted position to an expanded position such that the pleated members meet at the apex of the arced window. Both embodiments of the arced window covering include a locking mechanism capable of holding the cord and the foldable pleated member in a selected position. The present invention also includes a cover which is placed over the track to conceal the inner workings of the invention and to give it an attractive appearance.
