Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9635855A2] A control system (22) for a vertical vane covering (20) for use in an architectural opening includes a headrail (30) having an upwardly opening channel in which a plurality of carriers (32) are disposed for sliding movement along the length of the headrail. The headrail is of a thin profile with only a minority portion of the carriers being positioned within the hollow interior of the headrail. The carriers are interconnected by a scissors-type linkage (34) to effect uniform separation of the vanes (24) when the covering is expanded across an architectural opening and each carrier includes a rack and pinion system for rotating the vanes suspended thereby. Unique mountings (324) for the endmost vanes allow the endmost vanes to cover the ends (76) of the headrail.
