DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0037] The following description is of the best-contemplated mode
of carrying out the invention. This description is made for the
purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention and
should not be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the invention
is best determined by reference to the appended claims.
[0038] An inflatable bed set of the invention includes an
inflatable bed having a mattress and a bed head which are
integrated. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, the inflatable bed
includes a top layer 1, a bottom layer 2 and a lateral layer 3
which is L-shaped. In this embodiment, the lateral layer 3 is
formed in a loop connecting the top layer 1 and the bottom layer 2
to form a closed space which is L-shaped, thereby forming the
mattress and bed head. A plurality of first pull straps 5 and a
plurality of second pull straps 4 are disposed between the top
layer 1 and the bottom layer 2 and located in the closed space. The
first pull straps 5 are disposed near corners of the closed space,
and the second pull straps 4 are disposed in other positions. The
first pull straps 5 are longer than the second pull strap 4. At
least one cup holder 6 is externally disposed at a top of the
closed space. An air pump 7, a power supply 8 and a wire colleting
box 9 are disposed on the lateral layer 3.
[0039] The first pull straps 5 and the second pull straps 4 can be
annular pull straps or barrel-shaped pull straps as shown in FIG.
2. The first pull straps 5 and the second pull straps 4 can be
polygonal pull straps, linear pull straps, curved pull straps or
wide pull straps as shown in FIG. 4. The first pull straps 5 and
the second pull straps 4 can be wide barrel pull straps as shown in
FIG. 5 or wave pull strap as shown in FIG. 6. The first pull straps
5 and the second pull straps 4 can be one of the described pull
straps or combination of the described pull straps.
[0040] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, a loop pull strap 10 is disposed
in the closed space and connects the lateral layer 3 to the bottom
layer 2 to prevent expansion of the lateral layer 3 when air is
filled. Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, two loop pull straps 10 are
disposed in the closed space and one loop pull strap 10 connects
the lateral layer 3 to the top layer 1 and the other loop pull
strap 10 connects the lateral layer 3 to the bottom layer 2 to
prevent expansion of the lateral layer 3 when air is filled.
[0041] Referring to FIG. 11, an inflatable bed set is illustrated.
In this embodiment, the inflatable bed comprises a top layer 1
connected to the bottom layer 2 to form a loop, and a lateral layer
3 further connected to the top layer 1 and the bottom layer 2 to
form a closed space.
[0042] As also shown in FIG. 11, the inflatable bed set further
includes an inflatable table 11 and a pair of connectors A and B.
The inflatable table 11 is connected to the inflatable bed through
the pair of connectors A and B. Referring to FIG. 12, the connector
A is disposed on the inflatable bed (the lateral layer 3), and the
connector B is disposed on the inflatable table 11. When the
connector A is connected to the connector B, the inflatable table
11 is connected to the inflatable bed, and thus air can flow from
the inflatable bed into the inflatable table 11 through the
connectors A and B or vice versa, whereby air can be pumped into or
released from the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11
simultaneously by a single air pump. When the connector A and the
connector B are separated, the inflatable bed and the inflatable
table 11 are gas-sealed individually. Although the connector A is
disposed on the inflatable bed and the connector B is disposed on
the inflatable table 11 in this embodiment, they are not limited
thereto. The connector A can be disposed on the inflatable table 11
and the connector B can be disposed on the inflatable bed in
another embodiment. Referring to FIGS. 13a and 13b, the connector A
includes a latch seat A1-1, a first base A1-2, a first securing
latch A2, a first elastic member (spring) A3, a first sealing
member A4 and a first valve plate A5. Referring to FIGS. 14a and
14b, the connector B includes a switch (knob) B1, a latch B2-1, a
second base B2-2, a second securing latch B3, a second sealing
member B4, a second elastic member B5, and a second valve plate B6.
In this embodiment, the switch B1 is a knob for opening the valve
plate B6 to release air from the inflatable table 11 or closing the
valve plate B6 to isolate air in the inflatable table 11. Referring
to FIGS. 15 and 16, when the latch B2-1 is pushed to engage the
latch seat A1-1, the connector B is connected to the connector A,
and the valve plate A5 is pushed by the connector B to open and the
valve plate B6 is pushed by the connector A to open, whereby air
flows from the inflatable bed into the inflatable table 11. Thus,
the inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 are simultaneously
inflated. After an inflation of the inflatable bed and the
inflatable table 11 is finished, the connector A is separated from
the connector B so that the inflatable bed and the inflatable table
11 are gas sealed and independent from each other and can be
individually used. On the other hand, the connector B can be
connected to the connector A so as to release air from the
inflatable bed and the inflatable table 11 simultaneously, wherein
air flows from the inflatable table 11 to the inflatable bed
through the connectors A and B. It is therefore understood that
only one air pump 7 is required to inflate/deflate a plurality of
inflatable bodies through a connection of the pair of connectors A
and B. Additionally, the plurality of inflatable bodies are gas
sealed and independent from each other and can be individually
deflated when the connectors A and B are separated. Inflation and
deflation of the inflatable bed set of the invention are
convenient.
[0043] The inflatable bed of the invention includes a mattress and
a bed head integrated with the mattress, thereby simplifies the
structure, facilitates usage and reduces manufacturing cost
thereof. Additionally, the inflatable bed of the invention is
attractive in appearance, simple and stable in shape.
[0044] While the invention has been described by way of example and
in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the
invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended
to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would
be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of
the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation
so as to encompass all such modifications and similar
arrangements.
