ABSTRACT:
A spacer device for controlling the spacing between selected portions of a horizontally or vertically mounted shade, drapery or other covering. The spacer is formed of a thin piece of material of predetermined length. For some embodiments, the material has projections extending at selectd intervals along the length of the piece of material, the projections being adapted to co-act with a cord used to control the opening and closing of the covering and preferfably with selected areas of the covering to control the spacing of the selected portions of the covering. The piece of material is preferably a cord and the projections are preferably loops extending from the cord. For other embodiments, the piece of material is stiff and extends between bars or rails fixed to the covering to control the spacing between the bars or rails when the covering is open. When the opening is closed, the stiff piece of material is guided, preferably by the cord holes, into a rail so that it does not extend from the covering.
