Insertable inflatable bladder and method of use thereof

Abstract

A inflatable insertable bladder and method of use thereof. The bladder may be designed in any shape or size made up of an integrated bladder system that be made of any material such as mylar, plastic, nanoparticle, graphine like material, atoms or any material within the realm of science and knowledge that would provide enough strength to act as a bladder and have enough elasticity to provide protection to the item being shipped or stored and of suitable design able to protect the item being shipped with enough strength to hold and protect the item being shipped, stored or otherwise suspended in a box or container that is being shipped, stored or otherwise used in. The inflatable insertable bladder is uniquely designed to allow for a simple one-step process using a bladder with an integrated valve system that is used to suspend an article to be to be packaged. This completely protects the article and removes the need for peanuts, foam, bubble wrap, paper or other fillers in boxes used for shipping goods once the box is closed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for protecting an item being packaged in a box otherwise comprising the steps of
 providing a bladder having a hollow interior defined by a top wall, a bottom wall, and sidewalls interconnecting said top and bottom walls;   adapting said bladder to accept said item which may be introduced into, placed on top of or removed from said bladder prior to or after inflation;   placing said item into said bladder and inflating said bladder;   placing said bladder and item which are in fluid communication into said box allowing and said box is closed.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
 of said bladder having an additional valve inside the said bladder;   allowing said bladder to stay inflated if another section of the said bladder becomes deflated.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 said bladder may be inflated prior to or after it has come into fluid communication with said item;   said bladder may be placed in said box for shipping or storage after or prior to inflation.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 said bladder and valve can be made from any suitable material.
