ABSTRACT:
A restraint comprises a multiplicity of flexible bubbles which are encased in an air-tight envelope of film material. The bubbles are soft, having a Shore A Durometer rating of 10 or less. When air inside the envelope is withdrawn, the restraint molds to the shape of the animate or inanimate object which it surrounds. The restraint becomes surprising rigid but remains soft and pliable. Another embodiment of the invention is particularly designed as an infant carrier.
