Abstract
A hinged container with a releasable closure for receiving a compressed down sleeping bag therein. The container comprises a pair of mating top and bottom members coupled at one end by a hinge; and the closure comprises a pair of bars which are rigidly coupled, respectively, to the top and bottom members and a pair of torsional shear bolts releasably coupling the bars together. These bolts are sheared by pivotal movement of two levers coupled thereto. The apparatus for compressing the sleeping bag into the container comprises an elongated, open-ended sleeve; a hydraulically-actuated compressing ram movable into and out of the sleeve; and an assembly at an end of the sleeve for releasably securing the container to the sleeve with an open end of the container aligned with the open end of the sleeve. The container closure is carried by the front of the compressing ram and is rigidly coupled to the container after the sleeping bag is compressed into the container by the ram and while the container is secured at the end of the sleeve.
