ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to conform with an object including a device for heating. The heating device is conformable. The apparatus is also formed of an element within which the heating device is in contact such that when the heating device is activated to produce heat, the element becomes conformable and when the heating device is deactivated, the element becomes rigid. In a preferred embodiment, the heating device is a heating wire which is embedded in the element and there is a housing which contains a conformable support structure in contact with the element which provides a shape to which the element can harden into after the heating device has melted the element.
