Abstract

A window treatment adjustment assembly is provided that includes a slider having a base movable along a portion of the frame. A handle extends from the base. A pocket is formed in the screen and includes: a pocket frame attached to the screen to form an opening through the screen; a shroud member attached to at least a portion of the pocket frame. The handle of the slider extends through the opening of the pocket and past the shroud member. The base of the slider is in communication with a mechanism that moves the window treatment.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A window treatment adjustment assembly for use on a vehicle, the window treatment adjustment assembly comprising:
a slider that includes:
a base configured to be movable along a portion of a vehicle window; and
a handle that is configured to extend from the base and the vehicle window, through an opening in a screen;
wherein the handle moves the base of the slider to move a window treatment.

2. The window treatment adjustment assembly of claim 1 , wherein the handle moves the base of the slider adjacent the window treatment.
