Description
FIELD OF THE APPLICATION
[0001] The present application relates to toys, and more
particularly to cloth inflatable toys.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Most present toys are made of rigid plastic or metal. Their
shortcomings are as follows: it is inconvenient to carry them; when
they collide with human body, they can easily injure it and
therefore they are of low safety.
SUMMARY
[0003] The object of the present application is to solve the
problems of low safety in and inconvenience of carrying the
existing toys and provide a cloth inflatable toy which is of high
safety and convenient to be carried.
[0004] A cloth inflatable toy includes a fan and a number of cloth
pieces. The cloth inflatable toy further includes a tube bracket
which has two or more interlinked cloth tubes. The air outlet of
the fan is connected with the air inlet of the tube bracket, and
the sides of the cloth pieces used as the walls of the toy are
sewed on the corresponding cloth tubes respectively.
[0005] The cloth inflatable toy may include an air discharge
opening assembled on the tube bracket. The air discharge opening of
the tube bracket may be far away from the air inlet opening.
[0006] At least one of the cloth pieces may be used as a
curtain.
[0007] The cloth inflatable toy may include an entrance which is
opened on at least one of the cloth pieces.
[0008] The cloth tubes may be sewed with cloth and can allow air to
pass through. When the cloth inflatable toy is in use, the fan is
switched on and air is being blown into the tube bracket through
its air inlet to inflate the tube bracket so as to make it become
three-dimensional. The cloth inflatable toy can be entered into
when the cloth piece used as curtain is raised. After the cloth
inflatable toy is used, the fan is switched off and then the whole
toy, as it being made of cloth pieces, can be folded together for
convenience of carrying.
[0009] As a result of the application of the solution described in
the present patent application, the main part of the cloth
inflatable toy except the fan outside the tube bracket is made of
cloth. Therefore, people will not be injured by hard objects while
playing and the toy is of high safety. Moreover, since the tube
bracket and its connected cloth pieces can be folded into a flake,
it is very convenient to carry the toy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] Referring to FIG. 1, the embodiment 1 is a cloth inflatable
toy house, which can also be used as a field tent for adults or
children, comprising a tube bracket formed by two pentagonal cloth
tubes 15 and 16, two opposite lower cloth tubes 11 (only one can be
seen in FIG. 1), two upper cloth tubes 12 and 14, and a top cloth
tube 13. The lower cloth tube 11 is connected with the air outlet
of the fan 2 through the connecting tube 21, the other end of the
lower cloth tube 11 is assembled with an air discharge opening 22.
The cloth piece used as the curtain 34 is pentagonal, its two upper
bevel edges are sewed on two bevel edges of the pentagonal cloth
tube 15 respectively, and there is an opening or cut in the center
of the curtain 34. The space surrounded by the upper cloth tube 12,
the lower cloth tube 11, one side of the pentagonal cloth tube 15,
and one side of the pentagonal cloth tube 16 is covered with the
cloth piece 31 and it is sewed on the corresponding cloth tubes.
Similarly, the four sides of the cloth piece 32 are sewed on the
top cloth tube 13, the upper cloth tube 12, and two bevel edges of
the pentagonal cloth tubes 15 and 16 respectively. The spaces
surrounded by other corresponding cloth tubes are also covered by
cloth pieces and they are sewed together. Therefore, a toy house is
formed. FIG. 1 shows the inflatable state of the inflatable toy
house. When the fan 2 is switched off, the whole toy house can be

boat (unmarked or unseen in FIG. 2) which are symmetrical with the
four cloth tubes 42, 43, 44 and 45 on the right side. The tube
bracket supported by cloth tubes becomes the bracket of the ship
and strains the cloth pieces, wherein the cloth tube 47 is used for
decoration, and decorative holes are opened on the cloth pieces 53
and 54 respectively. When children raise curtain 51, they can enter
into the inflatable toy boat to play.
