Foldable window covering

Claim 1

A foldable window covering comprising a single web of flexible material, the window covering having a top and a bottom movable relative to each other between a folded and an expanded condition, the web having a plurality of independent loops extending from one side only of the web with opposed faces of each loop connected together along a horizontal seam parallel to and spaced from the distal end of the loop to form a pocket in the loop, the seams of adjacent loops being vertically spaced apart along the web such that the web forms a curtain wall section between adjacent loops which limits the spacing between adjacent loops when the window covering is in the expanded condition, the loops being adapted to hang downwardly and having a length such that each loop overlaps a subjacent loop when the window covering is in the expanded condition, at least one vertical row of openings extending through the loops adjacent the curtain wall sections, and lift cord means extending through said row of openings for moving the top and bottom of the window covering relative to each other, the loops defining a first vertical row of horizontal pockets inside the loops and a second vertical row of horizontal pockets between the loops and the curtain wall sections, when the window covering is in the expanded condition.
