The elastic or india rubber is formed into a thread and any material may be
constructed with this said elastic or india rubber thread by means of a sewing
needle or sewing machine or loom as with ordinary cotton now in common use.

For window blinds I use any material with an horizontal bar of any suitable
material at top and at the bottom or if perpendicular at each end to which is
mounted the blind material sewn together by elastic or india rubber sewing
material a. A pin
or eyelet d may be fixed to the bottom horizontal bar to
hold the blind in position when expanded by any fitting fitted to the window
frame.

The elastic or india rubber sewing material may be sewn by a needle or sewing
machine in one two or more rows or otherwise, to form either a chain stitch,
luck stitch or any other existing stitch that may be sewn by a needle and
cotton.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the rame is to be performel, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In window blinds, the combination of an elastic or india rubber sewing
material sewn by a needle or sewing machine in one two or more rows formed of a
stitch of any pattern, with the horizontal bars and fastenings and the blind
material, substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying
