          Application No. 08/243,000                                                  

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
          This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims                        
          122, 124, 129, 130 and 133 through 143, 145 and 146.  Claims                
          125 through 127, 144 and 147 are objected to by the examiner                
          with the indication that these claims would be allowed if                   
          written in independent form, including all of the limitations               
          of the base claim and any intervening claims.                               
          THE INVENTION                                                               
          Appellants' invention is drawn to a method for                              
          manufacturing a fabric cellular structure for a light control               
          window covering.  The window covering useful for light control              
          has two sheets of material with a plurality of strips of                    
          material therebetween adhesively bonded between and to the                  
          sheets of material such that the first and second sheets of                 
          material are relatively movable in a direction perpendicular                
          to the cut sheets.  Claims 122 and 133 are illustrative and                 
          read as follows.                                                            
               122. A method for manufacturing a fabric cellular                      
          structure for a light control window covering comprising                    
          continuously feeding a first sheet of material; continuously                
          feeding a strip of material having opposed faces and marginal               
          edge portions; applying a first adhesive line to one marginal               
          edge portion of the said strip on one face thereof; applying a              
          second adhesive line to an opposed marginal edge portion of                 

                                          2
