Abstract: A method for selectively varying the length of a horizontally foldable covering includes suspending the lower part of the covering from a remaining part of the covering with suspension means. The suspension means, secured to the lower end of the covering, engages spaced apart vertical sections of the covering to fold the lower part of the covering over an upper section of the covering. The suspension means also permits retention upon upward folding of the folded part of the covering to further reduce the effective length of the covering.

Abstract: A bendable sheet of material includes a column of apertures and at least one loop interleaved therewith disposed along each opposed vertical side and support structure for suspending the sheet from its upper edge. A pair of clips, secured to the lower edge of the sheet, penetrably cooperate with the columns of apertures to selectively retain the sheet foldable upon itself to a predetermined degree. The pair of clips are adapted to penetrably engage the loops to retain a further fold of the folded part of the sheet to selectively further reduce the area defined by the suspended sheet.

Abstract: A temporary window shade is provided for use in buildings which have not yet had permanent draperies or blinds installed. The shade is made from a sheet of disposable material, the top, bottom and side edges of which have been folded to form hems. Stiffener strips are inserted in the top and bottom hems to provide rigidity. The top hem is attachable to the wall above a window. The bottom stiffener strip includes hook means which are receivable in slots formed along the side edges of the shade to hold the bottom edge of the shade in a raised configuration. Each hook means is preferably a double hook, having an upturned portion providing through one face of the shade and a downturned portion projecting through the opposite face of the shade to allow the shade to be foldced twice.
