  • Patent number: 10609996
    Abstract: A vacuum assisted storage device may include a body having a first wall and a second wall coupled to a base. A vacuum compartment may be bounded by the base, first wall, and second wall. A vacuum compartment fastener may be configured to govern access to the vacuum compartment by removably coupling portions of the first wall to the second wall. A vacuum container may be configured to be received within the vacuum compartment. The vacuum container may define a vacuum storage cavity. A vacuum cavity fastener may govern access to the vacuum storage cavity, and the vacuum cavity fastener may form a removably air tight seal that is configured to be sealed and unsealed. A vacuum pump may be in communication with the vacuum storage cavity, and the vacuum pump may be operable to pump air out of the vacuum storage cavity.

  • Publication number: 20180279731
    Abstract: A vacuum assisted storage device may include a body having one or more walls which may define a storage cavity. Objects may be positioned within the storage cavity, and the storage cavity may be surrounded by an air impermeable material. The body may comprise a cavity closure which may govern access to the storage cavity by being movable between a closed position and an open position. When the cavity closure is in the closed position, air may be prevented from entering the storage cavity. A vacuum pump may be in communication with the storage cavity, and the vacuum pump may be operable to pump air out of the storage cavity thereby decreasing the volume of the storage cavity and optionally decreasing the size of one or more objects within the storage cavity.
