Indeed, "spring loaded folders" is what I had in mind. I did not use 
the term because I wanted also the people that don't know macosx to 
understand what I meant.

With regard to the following, it would have been better if I had 
added the term to my previous email.

I didn't know that it was patented. Further, I don't have the 
knowledge, what the fact about it being patented implies.

Thanks for pointing to the potential patent issue.
