Valance shaped enhancement apparatus

摘要

A valance shape enhancement apparatus includes a flexible valance which has a longitudinal valance length. An inflatable valance shape enhancement assembly is provided which is substantially coextensive with the flexible valance along the longitudinal valance length. The flexible valance may be formed from a quantity of flexible material has two edges that are juxtaposed and is connected together, such that the flexible valance includes a longitudinally shaped pocket. The inflatable valance shape enhancement assembly is received in the longitudinally shaped pocket of the flexible valance. The inflatable valance shape enhancement assembly includes an inflatable body portion and a valve assembly is connected to the inflatable body portion. Preferably, the inflatable body portion is made of transparent material. In addition, the inflatable body portion may be made from elastic material. The valve assembly includes a valve stem portion is connected to the inflatable body portion, and a valve plug portion is connected to the valve stem portion. In a second embodiment of the inflatable valance shape enhancement assembly. A quantity of ballast material is contained within the inflatable valance shape enhancement assembly. In addition, a method for enhancing the shape of a flexible valance includes the step of inserting an inflatable object behind a front portion of the valance.
