Abstract

A roman shade includes a panel, a plurality of clips attached to the panel, the clips forming elongated, narrow guides on the back side of the panel and a plurality of tapes. The panel is mounted on a headrail that also includes a rotating tube. Each tape is attached to the bottom of the panel at one end and to the tube at the other end and passes through the narrow guides to cause the panel to form successive folds or pleats as the bottom of the panel is raised by the tapes by the rotation of the tube.
