Abstract: A storage box for a garment such as a graduation gown or keepsake item or other item requiring safe and long-lasting storage is fabricated in one rectangular piece. The storage box in its expanded state may be shipped as a flat rectangular piece approximately 20-40 centimeters wide by 60 to 100 centimeters long. Triangular folding corners join first and second collapsible sides respectively to a binding panel and to an inner folding side panel. An outer folding side panel locks the triangular folding corners joining the respective collapsible side panels with the inner folding side panel to form an inner compartment for receiving a garment for storage. Magnets may be embedded in a magnetic closure panel and at least one folding side panel of corresponding size, shape and location to lock the storage box.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for step precision winding yarn into a package (P). During winding, the traverse frequency is adjusted so that a first actual winding ratio parallels adjacent a first integer winding ratio. When the rotational velocity of the package decreases sufficiently, the traverse frequency is step increased so that the first actual winding ratio step decreases to the second actual winding ratio adjacent a second integer winding ratio. A ratio between the first actual winding ratio and the first integer winding ratio defines an integer offset ratio and a ratio between the second actual winding ratio and the second integer winding ratio corresponds to the integer offset ratio.

Abstract: A slideout room operating system for use with a recreational vehicle or travel trailer.A dual drive means, part of which supports the slideout room, is used to efficiently perform the moving function.The design is economical to manufacture and install and provides improved reliability of operation for slideout room systems currently in use.
