Abstract
An inflatable shape maintenance device is provided to maintain the shape of a handbag or purse by first inserting it into a void space within the handbag or purse while being substantially deflated or partially inflated. Then a gas is introduced into the inflatable shape maintenance device until it is at a desired turgidity, whereby a desired shape (form) of the handbag or purse is restored and/or maintained. The turgid inflatable shape maintenance device remains within the handbag or purse during times of storage. Then when use of the handbag or purse is desired the valve is opened and the gas contained with the inflatable shape maintenance device is passively or actively evacuated to decrease turgidity thereof. Once a sufficient volume of gas has been removed from the inflatable shape maintenance device, it may then be removed from inside of the handbag or purse.
Description
- The present disclosure relates to handbags or purses, and more particularly, to an inflatable shape maintenance device for a handbag or purse.
- The shape of handbags or purses is essential to their function as a fashion accessory. They are often constructed of materials that are not rigid and are deformable. Manufacturers recommend that when handbags or purses are not being used their inner voids be filled with stuffing to help restore and maintain their original intended shape. Crumpled tissue paper is usually employed for this purpose. While generally sufficient for this purpose, the use of tissue lacks void fill precision and lacks sophistication associated with upscale handbags or purses.
- Therefore, a need exists for a device capable of filling voids inside of handbags or purses during storage periods in order to restore and preserve the originally designed shape thereof.
- An inflatable shape maintenance device, according to the teachings of this disclosure, is provided to maintain the shape of a handbag or purse by first inserting it into a void space within the handbag or purse while being substantially deflated or partially inflated. Then a gas, e.g., air, is introduced into an at least one inflatable chamber through at least one valve, e.g., one valve to multiple chambers, multiple valves to multiple chambers, multiple valves to a single chamber, etc., until the inflatable shape maintenance device is at a desired turgidity and thereby restores and/or maintains a desired shape (form) of the handbag or purse.
- The turgid inflatable shape maintenance device remains within the handbag or purse during times of storage. Then when use of the handbag or purse is desired the valve is opened and the gas contained with the inflatable shape maintenance device is passively or actively evacuated to decrease turgidity thereof, e.g., a normal pressure release of the gas through the valve(s) or by means of an evacuation pump coupled to the valve(s). Once a sufficient volume of gas has been removed from the inflatable shape maintenance device, it may then be removed from inside of the handbag or purse. The handbag or purse is now usable with its internal void space(s) available to fill with the contents of a user.
- According to a specific example embodiment of this disclosure, an inflatable shape maintenance device comprises: a three dimensional envelope having walls comprising substantially gas-tight and flexible material that forms at least one inflatable chamber therein; and at least one valve in gas communication with the at least one inflatable chamber, wherein when gas is introduced through the least one valve the at least one inflatable chamber is inflated to a turgid form that substantially replicates an inside shape of a handbag or purse.
- According to another specific example embodiment of this disclosure, a method for maintaining the shape of a handbag or purse comprises the steps of: providing a inflatable shape maintenance device, comprising a three dimensional envelope having walls comprising substantially gas-tight and flexible material that forms at least one inflatable chamber therein, and at least one valve in gas communication with the at least one inflatable chamber, wherein when gas is introduced through the least one valve the at least one inflatable chamber is inflated to a turgid form that substantially replicates an inside shape of a handbag or purse; inserting the inflatable shape maintenance device into the handbag or purse when the inflatable shape maintenance device is substantially deflated and in a non-turgid form; and inflating the inflatable shape maintenance device to a turgid form while inside of the handbag or purse, wherein the shape of the handbag or purse is maintained by the inflated inflatable shape maintenance device.
