Benefits of technology

[0005] The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a combined storage apparatus comprised of a vacuum-sealed compression storage bag and a case. The compression bag is build into the case to solve or ease the storage problem of the compressed storage bags. With a case, it permits more organized placement by stacking-up multiple units in the corner or in the closet. Relatively, to adapt to more convenient use of the present invention, the case is made foldable for space saving, considering the possibility that the entire combined storage apparatus may not be used. Furthermore, a baseboard is provided to the bottom of the vacuum-sealed compression storage bag to create a flat square shape thus able to place flush in the case bottom for optimal use of the space available.
[0006] To achieve the purpose, the present invention is comprised of a vacuum-sealed compression storage bag and a case. The bag has an open end provided with two sealing zipper strips attached. An air suction outlet is disposed on one side of the compression bag and a board is provided on the outer peripheral of the bottom of the bag. The case is also integrated with a foldable lid when the case is not in use. Quilts or clothes is folded and put into the vacuum-sealed compression storage bag and then the bag with the baseboard is placed into the case for easy and tidier storage.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, quilts and clothes may get mildew or develop moldy smell during long-term storage in areas of high humidity and high temperature.
However, the stacking or storage of the compressed bags itself could become another problem since each bag is in irregular shape or size thus difficult to create a tidy stack in the storage room.

Embodiment Construction

[0013] The present invention relates to a combined storage apparatus including a vacuum-sealed compression storage bag 1 and a case 2. The compression storage bag 1 preferably made of plastic material to yield elasticity and foldable properties. The compression bag 10 has an open end 11 adapted with a doubled-stripped sealing lines 12; an air suction outlet 13 adapted with an air suction valve 14 as illustrated in FIG. 1, or a suction nozzle 14′ having an airtight closing section 141′ as illustrated in FIG. 3 provided on one side of the bag 10; and a board 15 connected to the external peripheral of the bottom of the bag 10. The case 2 includes a case body 21 integrated with a lid 27, preferably made of harder material such as an inner paperboard or its equivalent and an outer fabric or its equivalent. Two folding lines 24, 25 are respectively provided at the middle of the left side and the right side 22, 23 of the case body 21; and the base 26 of the case body 21 is made of soft mat...

Abstract

A combined storage apparatus including a vacuum-sealed compression storage bag and a case; the bag having an open end provided with a sealing line comprised of two strips; an air suction outlet being provided on one side of the bag; a baseboard is being attached to the outer peripheral of the base of the compression bag; the case being integrated with a lid and both being foldable, a handle being provided to all four sides of the case; the object for storage being first placed in the vacuum sealed compression storage bag; and then the compression storage bag being placed into the case to allow multiple cases to stack up in nice and tidy fashion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention is related to a combined storage apparatus, and more particularly to one that combines a case and a vacuum-sealed compression storage bag in a same structure. [0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art [0004] Vacuum-sealed compression storage bags generally available in the market for the storage of quilt or clothes due to the need to create more storage space in the house. In addition, quilts and clothes may get mildew or develop moldy smell during long-term storage in areas of high humidity and high temperature. Therefore, after winter season, all the quilts and clothes must be washed before use. Exposing it to sunlight can get rid of the smell and mildew but only if one is lucky enough to meet a clear sunny day. With the vacuum-sealed compression storage bag, woven products can be compressed for easy storage and significantly reduced storage space while preventing the chance of quilts and clot...
