    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-3, a roman shade in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a headrail 1, a plurality of juxtaposed shade cloths 11 mounted on the headrail 1, at least one hanging cord 2 extended from the headrail 1 and connected to selective ones of the shade cloths 11, at least one adjusting cord 3 extended from the headrail 1 and connected to selective ones of the shade cloths 11, and at least one lift cord 4 extended through each of the shade cloths 11 and secured to a lowermost one of the shade cloths 11 to move the shade cloths 11 upward and downward.
  • The selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2 and the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 are arranged in a staggered manner. In addition, the adjusting cord 3 is movable relative to the hanging cord 2 to adjust a distance between the adjusting cord 3 and the hanging cord 2. Thus, the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 are driven by the adjusting cord 3 to move relative to the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2 so as to adjust a distance between the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 and the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2.
  • Each of the shade cloths 11 is provided with at least one snap ring 12 to allow passage of the hanging cord 2, the adjusting cord 3 and the lift cord 4. The adjusting cord 3 is positioned by an adjusting cord lock 31 to control movement of the adjusting cord 3. The lift cord 4 is extended from the headrail 1 and is positioned by a lift cord lock 41 to control movement of the lift cord 4. The lift cord 4 has a distal end secured to the snap ring 12 of the lowermost one of the shade cloths 11 to move all of the shade cloths 11 upward and downward.
  • Thus, the lift cord 4 is used to move all of the shade cloths 11 upward and downward to control movement of all of the shade cloths 11I, and the adjusting cord 3 is movable relative to the hanging cord 2 so that the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 are driven by the adjusting cord 3 to move relative to the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2 so as to adjust the distance between the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 and the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2.
  • In operation, the lift cord 4 is extended through the snap rings 12 of all of the shade cloths 1 1 and has a distal end secured to the snap ring 12 of the lowermost one of the shade cloths 11 so that when the lift cord 4 is pulled upward, the lowermost one of the shade cloths 11 is lifted to push the other shade cloths 11 to move upward, thereby folding all of the shade cloths 11 by pulling the lift cord 4. At this time, when the lift cord 4 stops moving, the lift cord 4 is positioned by the lift cord lock 41 immediately. Alternatively, all of the shade cloths 11 are expanded by releasing the lift cord 4.
  • Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, when the adjusting cord 3 is pulled upward, the adjusting cord 3 is movable upward relative to the hanging cord 2 so that the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 are driven by the adjusting cord 3 to move upward relative to the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2. In such a manner, the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 are movable to overlap the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2, thereby forming a plurality of openings 110 between the shade cloths 11 to allow passage of the solar rays.
  • Accordingly, the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 are movable to overlap or partially overlap the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2, thereby forming a plurality of openings 110 between the shade cloths 11 to allow passage of the solar rays, thereby greatly enhancing the indoor lightness. In addition, each of the openings 110 between the shade cloths 11 has an adjustable distance that is adjusted by movement of the adjusting cord 3 so as to adjust the optical permeability of the shade cloths 11 and to change the outer appearance of the shade cloths 11.
  • Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the roman shade further comprises at least one secondary adjusting cord 301 extended from the headrail 1 and connected to selective ones of the shade cloths 11. The secondary adjusting cord 301 is positioned by an adjusting cord lock 311 to control movement of the secondary adjusting cord 301. Thus, the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the secondary adjusting cord 301 are movable relative to the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2 and the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3 to overlap or partially overlap the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the hanging cord 2 and the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the adjusting cord 3.
  • Referring to FIG. 8, the roman shade further comprises a motorized winding mechanism 30 mounted on the headrail 1 and connected to the adjusting cord 3 to wind and scroll the adjusting cord 3, and a motorized winding mechanism 40 mounted on the headrail 1 and connected to the lift cord 4 to wind and scroll the lift cord 4.
  • Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the shade cloths 11 are divided into a plurality of independent zones which are connected by the hanging cord 2 and the adjusting cord 3 respectively and are arranged in a staggered manner. In addition, the roman shade further comprises at least one local-zone lift cord 401 extended through selective ones of the shade cloths 11 and secured to a lowermost one of the selective shade cloths 11 to move the selective shade cloths 11 upward and downward. Preferably, the selective shade cloths 11 connected by the local-zone lift cord 401 are located at a mediate portion of all of the shade cloths 11 as shown in FIG. 10 so that the shade cloths 11 have the optimum optical permeability. The local-zone lift cord 401 is extended from the headrail 1 and is positioned by a lock 411 to control movement of the local-zone lift cord 401.
  • Referring to FIG. 11, the roman shade further comprises a motorized winding mechanism 402 mounted on the headrail 1 and connected to the local-zone lift cord 401 to wind and scroll the local-zone lift cord 401.
  • Referring to FIG. 12, the roman shade comprises three shade cloths 11, wherein the mediate shade cloth 11 is lifted to overlap the upper shade cloth 11, so that the mediate zone of the shade cloths 11 is formed with an opening.
  • Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
