BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention is directed in FIGS. 1 to 6 to operable window shade displays with various educational materials directed to lower grade grammar students, high school students, college students, and business employees. A typical student classroom has many windows and shades. Therefore, instructive information in the form of pictures, numerals, grammar, and the like can be permanently dyed or lithographed on the shades.

The window shades with educational displays are intended to further instruct students and business persons in various topics which can be reviewed while passing by them. Illustrative examples are shades with: (1) globe and a list of seven continents for primary and intermediate grades; (2) images and identification of books, phone, sun, horse, school, stuffed chair, Teddy bear, alphabet blocks, alarm clock, tree, apple, and flowers intended for primary grades; (3) alphabetical letters such as capitals and lower case letters pictured with various articles such as ball for"B, b" ; (4) a standing man with his muscles delineated for science classrooms; (5) a multiplication chart for intermediate grades listing an X in the upper right corner from the numbers 1 to 10 listed horizontally and vertically, and wherein the horizontal and vertical numbers are grouped in sets such as 3,6, 9, to 30; and (6) a chart headed by eight words with a list of their synonyms. These images are dyed directly onto the window shades for educational purposes. Another advantage for the use of these shades is the increase in space in the classroom for posting items that must be changed regularly.

FIG. 1 is a shade 10 based on the instruction of seven listed continents 12 and illustrating a globe 14 with a partial view of the continents. This shade 10 would instruct primary and intermediate school students.

FIG. 2 is a shade 16 picturing articles and their names such as a pile of books 18, a telephone 20, the sun 22, a horse 24, a school house 26, a padded chair 28, a teddy bear toy 30, two alphabetized blocks 32, an alarm clock 34, a tree 36, an apple 38, and two flowers (roses) 40. This tableau with descriptive titles in shade 14 is directed to aid primary school students.

FIG. 3 illustrates a window shade 42 with the capital (upper case) and lower case letters of the alphabet along with familiar objects beginning with that letter. Block 44 features an apple with the"A, a". Block 46 shows a baseball for"B, b".

Block 48 depicts an alarm clock for"C, c". Block 50 illustrates a drum for"D, d". Block 52 features the earth for "E, e". Block 54 shows fish for"F, f". Block 56 has a traffic light with a flashing green to indicate"go"for"G, g". Block 58 depicts a hammer for"H, h". Block 60 shows a double-dipped ice cream cone to indicate"I, I". Block 62 illustrates a slice of bread with either jam or jelly on it to indicate"J, j".

Block 64 features a kite for"K, k". Block 66 shows a table lamp for"L, 1". Block 68 depicts a magician's equipment such as a top hat and a wand for"M, m". Block 70 has a walnut for a nut"N, n". Block 72 features an octopus for"O, o". Block 74 shows a spinet piano for"P, p". Block 76 illustrates a crowned queen for"Q, q". Block 78 depicts a robot man for"R, r".

Block 80 has a pair of scissors for"S, s". Block 82 features a table telephone for"T, t". Block 84 shows a U-shape pronged kitchen utensil for"U, u". Block 86 illustrates a violin and fiddle for"V, v". Block 88 depicts a windmill for"W, w".

Block 90 has a xylophone for"W, w". Block 92 features a yo-yo

article for"Y, y". Block 94 has a zebra for"Z, z". Thus, the alphabet has been dramatized with the capital and lower case letters along with articles beginning with that letter.

FIG. 4 illustrates the human musculature on a window shade 96 as a male figure 98 depicting the pectoralis major 100, the deltoid 102, the biceps 104, the serratus major 106, the rectus abdominus 108, the quadriceps femoris 110, and the gastrocnemius 112. Although other muscles are shown, these appear to be the most familiar.

FIG. 5 is a multiplication and division chart 114 on a window shade 116 for intermediate grade classrooms having an"X" in a corner and numerals radiating horizontally and vertically.

For example, the student can check his/her answer to 6 times 6 as 36. Another use of this chart is for division of numbers.

The instructor can also utilize this chart to save space on the blackboard.

FIG. 6 shows a chart 118 on a window shade 120 designed to provide children with synonyms to increase their knowledge of other words having the same general meaning. In space 120,"A LOT"can have synonyms such as"Many, Loads, Masses", and <BR> <BR> "Heaps". In space 122, "NICE"would mean"Pleasant, Good, Kind,<BR> Polite", and"Kind". In space 124, "SAD"can imply"Depressed, Gloomy, Miserable, Cheerless", and"Poignant". In space 126, "HAPPY"can mean"Content, Pleased, Glad, Joyful", and "Blissful". In space 128, "SAID"can be substituted with "Speak, Utter, Declare, State"and"Shout". In space 130, "GOOD"can have synonyms"Fine, Excellent, Superior", and <BR> <BR> "Wonderful". In space 132, "BAD"could be"Awful, Terrible, Dreadful, Appalling", and"Dire". In the last space 134,"FUN" would be"Amusing, Enjoyable"and"Pleasure".

Thus, various modes of instructional window shades have been shown to instruct school children or adults in business for improvement in their basic understanding of grammar,

mathematics, human anatomy, and geography. The window shades can save space for educational material within the classroom.

It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
