Abstract: A vacuum chamber has a port communicating with the interior of the chamber, and a blower and ducting for selectively establishing a vacuum within the chamber. A partially completed bag of seamed panel construction is placed with the port extending into the bag. When vacuum is applied, the bag is passed through the port, being thereby turned inside out. A pneumatically-controlled door enables access to the chamber for removal of the bag.

Abstract: A modular bean bag seating device includes a pedestal, and cushion which rests atop the pedestal. Each module is partially stuffed with a filling material allowing each module to substantially maintain its respective shape. The cushion is detachably secured to the pedestal by interconnectable strips which are positioned about the periphery of each module. One portion of the interconnectable strip is affixed to the pedestal while the second portion is affixed to the cushion. Each portion of the interconnectable strip can be a slide fastener ribbon having a series of interconnectable elements; the two modules are then secured to one another by the use of a slider. The pedestal and cushion modules are interchangable as long as the interconnectable strips are similarly oriented.
