ABSTRACT:
A sealed pliable bag, or pillow, containing loose particles is adapted for evacuation by means of a valve or by an air tube inserted through the bag which may be heat sealed upon subsequent withdrawal of the air tube. The particle filled bag is placed in contact with an article to be packaged so as to conform with the size and shape of at least a portion of the article and the bag is evacuated. One or more additional particle-filled bags are positioned over a remaining portion of the article and are similarly evacuated. Upon evacuation, the bags undergo a size reduction and become rigid, defining a hollow space conforming to the size and shape of the packaged article with the bags serving to protect the article when positioned in a closed container. In another embodiment, air may be introduced into the bags, each having a block-like shape, after the bags and the article are positioned in the closed container such as by puncturing or by means of a valve, allowing the bags to expand outwardly against the inner surface of the closed container and inwardly so as to securely engage the packaged article and provide secure, impact-resistant and shock-proof protection for the article within the container. Air-filled, compressible particles may be used in the bags permitting greater size reduction upon evacuation and increased expansion of the bag and particle combination upon inflation for more secure engagement of the article and the inner surface of the closed container.
