  • Patent number: 4240556
    Abstract: A double walled tubular flexible plastic package has an inflatable annular chamber surrounding an inner pocket. When an object is placed in the pocket and the chamber is inflated, the inner wall collapses inward to envelop the object. The inflation causes the flexible membrane to close off at the mouth of the pocket thereby substantially encapsulating the object being packaged. The object is essentially supported within a single air chamber thereby providing optimum cushioning from external forces and substantial insulation from external temperatures.
