Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a front face of a window covering showing my new design, the front face of a window covering being shown in an open, pulled-up position.

FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the front face of a window covering of FIG. 1.

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the front face of a window covering of FIG. 1, shown in partially closed position.

FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the front face of a window covering as shown in FIG. 3.

FIG. 5 is a front elevational view of the front face of a window covering of FIG. 1, shown in a fully closed, pulled-down position.

FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of the front face of a window covering as shown in FIG. 5; and,

FIG. 7 is a plan view of a single panel of the front face of a window covering shown separate from the remainder of the design as shown in FIG. 1 for clarity of illustration.

The broken line showing of a back face of a window covering in FIGS. 1–6 is environmental only and forms no part of the claimed design. The design pattern shown in the front elevational and plan views continues through the length and width of the front face of the window covering. The front face of the window covering is shown broken-away both vertically and horizontally in the front elevational views and broken-away vertically in the side elevational views to indicate that a specific length and width forms no part of the claimed design; and the single panel of the front face of the window covering is shown broken away horizontally to indicate that a specific width forms no part of the claimed design.

The vertical and horizontal lines on the surface of the front face of a window covering are a pattern on that surface, which is a translucent material. Due to this translucency, when there is an overlap of panels of the window covering in which panels or portions of panels are visible through the outermost panel, stipple shading has been included depicting the effect of the overlap. As the window covering is shown in a variety of positions, the overlaps change, and the position of the stipple shading changes to reflect this. The overlaps between these panels are depicted in the FIGS. 2, 4, and 6 views.
