Abstract
A vacuum adapter device is useful for connecting a suction generating device to a garment bag. The device includes at least one conical section. The conical section includes a wide opening configured be connected to one of the suction generating device and the garment bag and a narrow opening connected to a reinforcing feature configured to prevent the narrow opening from collapsing when suction is applied to the device. The conical section is constructed with a flexible polymer material.
