<p>A reusable, evacuable enclosure comprising a bag (4) with an opening (12) in which to place articles, such as clothing or linen, and a one-way valve in a surface of the bag. The articles may be placed in the bag and sealed from the surrounding environment by placing a seal (8) across the opening. The excess air in the bag may then be removed by placing a cylindrical attachment of a household vacuum cleaner over the one-way valve (6). Once the excess air is extracted, a cap is placed over the valve to ensure a permanent seal. Removal of excess air and moisture from the bag protects the stored article against insects, bacteria, mildew, corrosion, etc. A variety of seals for closing the bag are described.</p> |
