Abstract: A gift wrap article is formed by providing wrapping material which is padded and waterproof. The inner surface of the wrapping material has a cohesive coating, while the outer surface has a layer of gift wrap decorative design. The article is placed on a portion of the inner surface of the wrapping material and the wrapping material is applied over the article so that the article is between and completely surrounded by two layers of the wrapping material. The layers of the wrapping material are squeezed together to cohesively secure the inner surfaces of the two layers together and form a closed package with the article within the package and with the gift wrap outer layer visually exposed.

Abstract: Vehicular tires, mounted on wheel rims, are more safely inflated in rugged box enclosing entire tire-and-wheel-rim assembly, using inflating line that penetrates through wall of box, with pressure gauge visible from outside of box. Interlocks can be provided to help assure that box must be closed before inflation can be started, and that box cannot be opened for 3 to 10 minutes after inflation is completed. Window can be provided for visually inspecting tire-and-wheel-rim assembly during or after inflation, and deflation valve permits deflation if the inflation appears unsafe. Box can have welded-on re-enforcements.
