ABSTRACT:
A system for production of Roman type shades formed of multilayers of material is shown according to the teachings of the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Generally, Roman type shades include pulling cords strung through rings attached to the shade such that the shade is generally flat when down and the shade falls into pleats when the pulling cords are pulled. The system of the present invention includes an array of linearly connected ring connectors for automatic distribution and insertion by an attachment tool. The ring connectors include a T-shaped member having a shank portion connected between the shade ring and a crossbar member. The crossbar may be aligned in the attachment tool with and for introduction into the hollow needle of the attachment tool. Therefore, after the needle has been inserted through the shade, the crossbar may be forced into and through the needle moving the crossbar of the ring connector in and through the needle for inserting the shank portion of the ring connector through the multilayers of the shade and for positioning the crossbar to be parallel and abut with the multilayers of the shades. In the preferred form, the ring connectors are held in the array by a carrier bar having a multiplicity of integrally formed tongues attached to the crossbars of the ring connectors.
