HEMBAR FOR A SHADE FABRIC AND ASSEMBLY METHOD

摘要

A hembar includes front and rear walls and top and bottom spline channels adjacent a top and a bottom of the hembar. Each spline channel receives a spline in an oblique orientation to a vertical line and is arranged to conceal the channel from any viewing location in front of the hembar. A shade fabric is received in the channels through longitudinal slots and the splines are received through an open end. A notch opposite the slot receives part of the shade fabric to facilitate spline insertion. A pocket for a weighting element is off-centered such that it is closer to the rear wall. The hembar is assembled using a support member having obliquely angled walls to support the hembar with one channel horizontally oriented. The front and rear walls of the hembar may be covered by the shade fabric in a full wrap option.
