A method for making light, thin, thermoplastic slats for use in decorative window blinds of the Venetian or vertical rotatable slat types. Strips are prepared of flexible and resilient planar thermoplastic material of not more than 1/16 inch thickness with selected light transmitting qualities. The strips are then deformed into a permanent V-shaped cross-sectional configuration which is stiff and will not sag when supported by spaced blind slat supporting means. The deformation step is accomplished by bending the strips without the application of heat over a forming surface of not more than 1/4 inch radius to exceed the elastic limit of the strip material over the radius.

A blind having an interior side and an exterior side and having a plurality of elongated slats is disclosed. The slats are made of a flexible and generally resilient polycarbonate material having selected light-transmitting qualities and superior optical clarity. Each slat has a generally V-shaped transverse cross-sectional configuration in which a first portion and a second portion of the slat correspond to the two sides of the V, intersecting at an angle of 90. degree. to 160. degree. The slats are suspended in parallel relation, the slats being rotatable about their longitudinal axes between an inwardly facing position, in which the upper surfaces of the slats are presented at the interior side of the blind with the first portions of the slats substantially co-planar, and an outwardly facing portion, in which the upper surfaces are presented at the exterior side of the blind and the second portions of the slats are substantially co-planar. The slats are held at a distance from each other such that when the slats are in one of the inwardly facing and outwardly facing positions, the portions of the slats not then co-planar extend sufficiently far toward the slat immediately adjacent thereto as to overlap the immediately adjacent slat, to prevent the passage of light in a direction generally normal to the co-planar portions of the slats without that light being interrupted by the slats.

A three rail Model Railroad track cleaning method and device in which a roll of cleaning tissue is unwound from a supply roll and rewound on a second roll in contact with the tracks, at a rate slower than it is travelling over the tracks, so that it has a wiping action, and can travel long distances before fresh cleaning tissue coming from the supply roll is used up.

A building panel (10, 20, 30, 31, 32, 60 and 70) having spaced first and second outer layers (11, 12), a covering layer (15) bonded to an exterior surface of at least one of the outer layers, and a connecting member (13, 14, 64, 71) extending across the space between the first and second layers and joined to both layers. The first and second outer layers are made of furan resin reinforced with glass fibers.
