Abstract

A cellular shade includes a first, woven fabric material having a first upper surface, a first lower surface, and a first outer edge surface extending between the first upper surface and the first lower surface. The first fabric material has a first thickness as measured between the first upper surface and the first lower surface along a first direction. The cellular shade also includes a second, unwoven fabric material having a second upper surface, a second lower surface, and a second outer edge surface extending between the second upper surface and the second lower surface. The second fabric material has a second thickness as measured between the second upper surface and the second lower surface along the first direction. The first outer edge surface faces the second outer edge surface along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. The cellular shade also includes a layer of adhesive coupled to both the first, woven fabric material and the second, nonwoven fabric material. The layer of adhesive overlaps both the first, woven fabric material and the second, nonwoven fabric material, defining an adhesive joint between the first, woven fabric material and the second, nonwoven fabric material.

Abstract

An arched window covering comprising a panel (e.g., having a series of elongated cells) positioned in a fan arrangement defining a central space near a center of rotation of the fan arrangement, a base positioned in the central space, and a support member supported by the base and positioned to provide support to the panel. Preferably, the arched window covering further comprises a rail secured to at least one of two ends of the panel. In one embodiment, the base defines an opening adapted to receive the support member. The support member preferably comprises an elongated member extending from the base toward a radially outer portion of the panel, and a spacer member supported by the elongated member and adapted to hold the elongated member spaced from the panel. In one arrangement, a position of the spacer member relative to the elongated member is adjustable.
