Northamptonshire, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for WINDOW
BLIND ROLLER and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-

3' 0" long will extend & fit any window up to 5'. 0" &c.

ends (or fittings now in use) soldered on. The outward or case B (Fig 3.) having
its edges turned outwards & the inner or case C. (Fig 2.) having its edges turned
inwards, this being done to prevent tearing the Blind in attaching & detaching.
To attach the Blind the Roller has simply to be pulled apart & the Blind inserted
along the slot on the inner or C case and when this is done it is replaced in case B.
& the Blind again inserted along the slot in this case.
To prevent the Blind from slipping through the slot a small rod is sewn in that
