Abstract: Combination self-storing table/leg rest for a reclining chair is shown in which a hinged table top is hooked onto a leg rest frame member and covered with a padded upholstered cushion to match the decor of the reclining chair. A pin is mounted on the underside of the folded table and is adapted to fit into a receptacle formed in the end of an arm of the reclining chair for positioning the table in convenient position for use by a person sitting in the chair. The table when used rests on the second arm of the chair, or it may be pivoted to allow ingress and egress to the chair.

Abstract: A single message recording and readout device that employs a rigid elongated stick having at least one flat surface thereon containing a magnetic recording tape for recording and playing back short messages. A guideway for slidably receiving said stick passes through a housing containing a drive unit and appropriate electrical recording and playback circuitry. The drive unit includes a pair of pinch rollers that are mounted within the passage of the guideway for driving the stick along a linear path of travel past a magnetic head. A switch, which is operatively connected to the drive unit, and the recording and playback circuitry is positioned at the entrance to the passage which activates the drive unit as the leading edge of the stick passes through the entrance region and which further deactivates the drive unit when the trailing edge of the stick clears the entrance region.
