  • Patent number: 8490811
    Abstract: A compactly foldable storage pouch includes a pair of resilient wire loops, a front fabric panel disposed over and covering the interior portion of the first wire loop, a rear fabric panel disposed over and covering the interior portion of the second wire loop, at least one sidewall fabric panel joining the wire loops, the side fabric panel circumscribing at least a portion of the periphery of the wire loops and defining an opening between the front and rear fabric panels and the opposing lateral ends of the sidewall fabric panel and a plurality of removeable lateral cross-members are positionable between the pair of wire loops to maintain the foldable pouch in an expanded configuration. Upon removal of the cross-members, adjacent wire loops can be twisted into a figure-8 configuration and folded over on itself to assume a compact, generally circular flat configuration for packaging, shipment and eventual storage by the user.

  • Patent number: 4894798
    Abstract: A word processing apparatus is capable of detecting the entry of a function or operation during keying of the text into memory, which requires an operator intervention such as the changing of the print element or the changing of the format parameters. Upon the detection of that condition, an automatic operation is invoked by the software process to insert into the text string and memory a stop code. This insures that the playout of the stored text will be interrupted to permit the operator to perform the same or related operation at the same relative position in the text.
