Cartridge shade assembly

A shade assembly (10) comprised of a frame (12) having a central opening (13) therethrough and a hollow, shell-like recess (18) at one end thereof. A flexible shade member (14) is removably received in the receess (18) in the form of a scroll (20), and a pull bar (36) coupled with one end of the shade member (14) is used for pulling the shade member (14) out of the recess (18), i.e., unscrolling or unwinding it, and into a position across the central opening (13) of the frame (12). The shade member (14) is biased so that, as the pull bar (36) is moved toward the recess (18), the shade member (14) becomes scrolled or wound in the recess (18). The end margins of the pull bar (36) are removably received within a first pair of grooves (27) on the opposed sides of the frame (12), and a transparent, protective pane (16) is mounted with its side margins received within a second set of grooves (29) on the sides of the frame (12) adjacent to and extending longitudinally of the first set of grooves (27). The assembly (10) is constructed in cartridge form so that it can be readily mounted in place as a unit at a fixed location, such as adjacent to a window of an airplane, and the assembly can be quickly removed from its mounting for replacement purposes.
