A drapery or blind segment support system having a telescoping channel-shaped track assembly and a plurality of drapery pleat support slides connected to a hanger for a pleat or fold of a drapery panel, blind, or hanging bead configuration. The slides are interconnected by an elongated elastic cord member so that, as the panels are extended or stacked back, the folds or segments are maintained evenly spaced by uniform extension and contraction of the elastic cord. End slides of a panel are connected to a carrier member which is engageable with a gravity or magnetic latching mechanism to secure a panel in an extended or closed condition. One embodiment of the system is provided with an endless traverse cord for traversing the end slide carrier members between open and closed positions of the drapery panels. Another embodiment includes opposed elastic cords and rotatable slides for opening and closing venetian blinds. |
