End guide for cord attachment device

摘要

An end guide for a cord attachment device includes a cloth. The cloth is configured to fold over, unto, and overlap itself. The cloth has three portions. The first and second portions are longer than a third portion. The cloth is folded axially about a central longitudinal axis. The central longitudinal axis spans from the proximal end to the distal end of the cloth. The folding causes the first and second portions to overlap. A plurality of flutes are configured in the cloth by a plurality of stitch lines running parallel to each other and extending through first and second sides (the front and back) of the cloth and extending through the overlap of the first and second portions. At least one of the plurality of stitch lines are located between each of the flutes. The flutes span to both the proximal and distal ends of the cloth. First and second portions are folded outwardly away from the plurality of flutes at both the proximal and distal ends and then stitched to the cloth so as to create end channels for the routing of a cover cord (when a cover is used) or a keeper cord. The stitching is perpendicular to the plurality of stitch lines.

主权项

1. A cord attachment device, comprising:
a pair of end guides, comprising:
a first H-shaped cloth and a second H-shaped cloth, each of said H-shaped cloths having first and second sides, first and second portions longer than a third portion, a proximal end, and a distal end, wherein each of said H-shaped cloths is configured to fold over, unto, and overlap itself;wherein each of said H-shaped cloths is folded axially about a central longitudinal axis, said central longitudinal axis spanning from said proximal end to said distal end, wherein said folding causes each of said first and second portions to overlap;wherein a plurality of flutes are configured in each of said H-shaped cloths by a plurality of first stitch lines, wherein each of said plurality of first stitch lines are parallel to each other and extend through said first and second sides of each of said H-shaped cloths and through the overlap of said first and second portions, wherein at least one of said plurality of first stitch lines is located between each of said flutes;wherein said flutes span to both said proximal and said distal ends of each of said H-shaped cloths;wherein said first and second portions are folded outwardly away from said plurality of flutes at both said proximal and distal ends are stitched to each of said H-shaped cloths and perpendicular to said plurality of first stitch lines; and a concentric cover sleeve having a proximal and distal end, said cover sleeve attached at its proximal end to one of said pair of end guides, said cover sleeve attached at its distal end to the other of said end guides.
