Abstract
A shaper for a pliable object includes a flexible sleeve formed of a semipermeable material and containing a chamber in which a fibrous fill material and a semi-rigid member are arranged. The fibrous fill provides shape and structure to the flexible sleeve to generally match the configuration of an object into which the shaper will be placed. The semi-rigid member has a length-to-width ratio that is substantially similar to the length-toi-width ratio of the flexible sleeve. When the sleeve is arranged within an object, it substantially fills the object to provide the object with structure and shape retention.
