Abstract

See full text

Systems (102) and methods (600) for adjusting a volume of an article of manufacture (AOM). The methods involve displacing a first actuator (FA) in a first direction along tracks (308, 310) until FA (312) disengages a first track (308) and abuts a first stop mechanism (504) formed at an end (510) ofa second track (310). A first flexible insert (FFI) is unfolded so as to adjust the volume of AOM by a first amount defined by geometrical dimensions of FFI (306). A second actuator (SA) is displaced in a second direction along tracks until SA (424) abuts a second stop mechanism (432) formed at ends (454) of the tracks (420, 422). A second flexible insert (SFI) is unfolded so as to further adjust the volume of AOM by a second amount defined by geometrical dimensions of SFI (406).
