1. A window shade system for shading a window, the window shade system comprising, in combination:
a shade assembly, the shade assembly comprising a shade element and axis fixing means for fixing a shade axis of rotation, the shade element being furlable and unfurlable about the shade axis for rotation for selectively shading the window; the shade element oriented about the shade axis of rotation such that the shade element hangs from the shade axis of rotation opposite the window; a bracket element, the bracket element comprising a bracket-to-support interface portion and a guide-cover attachment portion, the guide-cover attachment portion comprising an inverted L-shaped portion and a spacer portion, the L-shaped portion having a primary riser portion and a primary support portion; and a guide-cover element, the guide-cover element comprising a Π-shaped, channel portion, a shade-cover portion, and a shade-guide portion, the channel portion having a posterior extension portion, an anterior extension portion and a spacer extension portion, and the channel portion being elevated with respect to the shade-cover portion, the shade-cover portion being formed so as to subtend an arc length radially anterior relative to the posterior extension portion, the shade-guide portion being formed so as to extend obliquely relative to a horizontal plane, the bracket-to-support interface portion being attachable to a support structure, the shade element being received in a space defined by the shade-cover portion, the axis fixing means fixing the shade axis of rotation relative to the shade-cover portion, the guide-cover element and shade assembly being attachable to the bracket element such that the guide-cover attachment portion is received in the channel portion, the shade-guide portion being downwardly sloped for guiding the shade element when being unfurled, the shade-guide portion terminating posteriorly at a guide-cover terminus situated in inferior adjacency to the bracket-to-support interface portion, an unfurled portion of the shade element being extendable through a shade-letting gap defined by the bracket-to-support interface portion and the guide-cover terminus and downwardly via the guide-cover terminus for selectively shading the window. |
