A retractable cellular shade is illustrated in various embodiments to consist of a support structure that could assume numerous forms including cellular material, flexible sheets of material, tapes or ribbons, or flexible monofilaments or similar cords of natural or synthetic fibers with the support structure supporting a plurality of vanes or slats in various configurations and orientations. The movement of the vanes or slats is totally dependent upon movement of the support structure. The fabric so formed can be incorporated into a covering for architectural openings with the covering including a headrail with means for gathering the fabric material within the headrail.

1. A covering for an architectural opening, comprising: a roller;a support structure suspended from said roller, said support structure defining a first face and a second face opposite said first face; anda plurality of resilient slats or vanes mounted on said first face of said support structure at vertically-spaced locations and extending horizontally across said first face of said support structure, each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes including a lower edge that is unsecured, each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes including an arcuate transverse cross section, a concave side of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes facing said support structure;wherein:said support structure and said resilient slats or vanes are wrappable around said roller; andsaid lower edge of each of said resilient slats or vanes overlaps a next adjacent lower resilient slat or vane when said support structure is in a fully extended condition. 2. The covering of claim 1, wherein said plurality of resilient slats or vanes are configured to resiliently deform when wrapped around said roller such that said plurality of resilient slats or vanes resume their arcuate transverse cross section when unwrapped from said roller. 3. The covering of claim 1, wherein said lower edge is supported by said next adjacent lower resilient slat or vane when said support structure is in the fully extended condition. 4. The covering of claim 1, wherein said each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes is mounted on said first face of said support structure along an upper edge of said each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes. 5. The covering of claim 4, wherein said upper edge is folded to define a flap or tab. 6. The covering of claim 1, wherein said support structure comprises a flexible sheet of material. 7. The covering of claim 4, wherein respective mounting locations defined between said upper edges of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes and said support structure are substantially vertically aligned when said support structure is in said fully extended condition. 8. The covering of claim 5, wherein a crease is defined between said flap or tab and a portion of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes that defines the arcuate transverse cross section. 9. A method of manufacturing a covering for an architectural opening, comprising: extending a plurality of resilient slats or vanes horizontally across a support structure;mounting said plurality of resilient slats or vanes on a first face of said support structure at vertically-spaced locations such that each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes includes a lower edge that is unsecured, each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes including an arcuate transverse cross section, a concave side of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes facing said support structure;spacing said plurality of resilient slats or vanes along said first face of said support structure such that said lower edge of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes overlaps a next adjacent lower resilient slat or vane when said support structure is in a fully extended condition; andsuspending said support structure from a roller;wherein said support structure and said plurality of resilient slats or vanes are wrappable around the roller. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising supporting said lower edge by said next adjacent lower resilient slat or vane when said support structure is in the fully extended condition. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein mounting said plurality of resilient slats or vanes on said first face of said support structure at vertically spaced locations comprises mounting an upper edge of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes on said first face of said support structure at the vertically spaced locations. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising folding said upper edge to define a flap or tab. 13. A covering for an architectural opening, comprising: a roller;a support structure suspended from said roller, said support structure defining a first face facing a first direction and a second face opposite said first face and facing a second direction opposite the first direction; anda plurality of resilient slats or vanes mounted on said first face of said support structure at vertically-spaced locations and extending horizontally across said first face of said support structure, each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes including a lower edge that is unsecured, each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes including an arcuate transverse cross section, a concave side of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes facing said first face of said support structure; wherein said support structure and said resilient slats or vanes are wrappable around said roller. 14. The covering of claim 13, wherein said plurality of resilient slats or vanes are configured to resiliently deform when wrapped around said roller such that said plurality of resilient slats or vanes resume their arcuate transverse cross section when unwrapped from said roller. 15. The covering of claim 13, wherein said lower edge is supported by said next adjacent lower resilient slat or vane when said support structure is in the fully extended condition. 16. The covering of claim 13, wherein said each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes is secured to said first face of said support structure along an upper edge of said each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes. 17. The covering of claim 16, wherein said upper edge is folded to define a flap or tab. 18. The covering of claim 13, wherein said support structure comprises a flexible sheet of material. 19. The method of claim 12, further comprising forming a crease between said flap or tab and a portion of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes that defines the arcuate transverse cross section. 20. The covering of claim 16, wherein respective mounting locations defined between said upper edges of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes and said support structure are substantially vertically aligned when said support structure is in said fully extended condition. 21. The covering of claim 17, wherein a crease is defined between said flap or tab and a portion of each of said plurality of resilient slats or vanes that defines the arcuate transverse cross section.
