  • Publication number: 20210197227
    Abstract: A method of texturing a wall or ceiling with non-acoustical joint compound by providing a collapsible bag having an opening at its top and is adapted to contain non-acoustical joint compound for forming a textured coating on the wall or ceiling and providing a spray nozzle having a low pressure input port, a joint compound suction port attached to the opening at the top of the collapsible bag, and an output port for spraying the non-acoustical joint compound. A low pressure stream of air from an air gun attached to the low pressure input port urges a small quantity of the non-acoustical joint compound to be sprayed out of the spray nozzle when the bottom of the collapsible disposable bag is raised above its top to either allow or force the joint compound to flow into the suction port and into the interior of the spray nozzle.

  • Patent number: 11029828
    Abstract: A system having a processor is provided that visually manipulates objects on a touch screen responsive to inputs through the touch screen. The processor may receive a selection of a first object while a second object remains unselected. Also the processor may be responsive to first motion inputs representative of the selected first object being moved with a first motion that does not have a predetermined motion characteristic, to maintain a connection between the first and second objects while changing the positions of the first object and at least a first portion of the second object. In addition, the processor may be responsive to second motion inputs representative of the selected first object being moved with a second motion that has the predetermined motion characteristic, to break the connection between the first and second objects.
