ABSTRACT:
A shade construction for a vehicle window having a generally rectangular window frame comprises a pair of flexible cords running respectively from top to bottom edges of the window frame. Substantial portions of these cords are in parallel, spaced apart condition and located adjacent and parallel to opposite lateral sides of the frame. A shade structure comprises a header and a pleated shade member coupled to the header. The pleated shade member is slideably mounted to the pair of cords generally at opposite sides thereof so as to be expandable and collapsible in accordion-like fashion relative to the cords. Mounting structure is provided for slideably mounting the header to the cords, and for directing the cords through the header and into slideable engagement with the pleated shade member. This mounting structure maintains some frictional engagement with the cords for permitting the headers to be set at a desired orientation along the cords and relative to said window while otherwise facilitating holding of the header against movement relative to the cords in response to vibration or the like.
