Abstract
A retractable shade finding particular use in covering non-linearly aligned architectural openings or curved openings, includes one continuous curtain following a predetermined path along the openings. A segmented drive system forms linear segments of a drive system which in combination are adjustable to accommodate various curvatures of openings or angles between adjacent architectural openings. Movement of the shade between retracted and extended positions is automatically stopped and a fail-safe system is provided to prevent inadvertent extension of the shade such as when the shade is used to cover the windshield of a recreational vehicle or the like.
