INFLATABLE BED
Abstract
An inflatable bed includes an upper body, a lower body, and a
closed chamber space formed between the upper body and the lower
body. The inflatable bed includes a plurality of connecting members
therein. The connecting members are spaced a determined distance
apart from each other and arranged longitudinally and transversely
inside the inflatable bed for connecting the upper body with the
lower body. Each of the connecting members is a thin ring-like
structure. When the inflatable bed is inflated, the connecting
members arranged in the longitudinal and transverse directions
provide a bubble-like effect, thereby enhancing the comfort for the
user to lie thereon. Further, the inflatable bed is light and small
in size after collapsed, which is advantageous for camping and
mountaineering.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to an inflatable bed, and more
particularly to a connecting structure of an inflatable bed.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] For mountaineering or camping, people usually use a soft
cushion to enhance the comfort of ling on the ground and stop the
surface temperature. The soft cushion is made of a soft material,
so it can enhance the comfort for the user to lie thereon. But,
because of its solid structure, the soft cushion is heavy in weight
and large in size, so it is inconvenient for carrying. Therefore,
an inflatable mattress is developed on the market. Although it can
reduce the weight and the size after collapsed, the internal
structure of the inflatable mattress is provided with a number of
pull strips. As a result, the inflatable mattress is still somewhat
heavy.
[0003] Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention has
devoted himself based on his many years of practical experiences to
solve these problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the primary
object of the present invention is to provide an inflatable bed
which is light in weight and comfortable for use and has a simple
structure and can be carried conveniently and has a low cost and
other advantages, meeting the needs of industry and consumers.
[0005] In order to achieve the aforesaid object, the inflatable bed
of the present invention comprises an upper body, a lower body, and
a closed chamber space formed between the upper body and the lower
body. The inflatable bed includes a plurality of connecting members
therein. The connecting members are spaced a determined distance
apart from each other and arranged longitudinally and transversely
inside the inflatable bed for connecting the upper body with the
lower body. Each of the connecting members is a thin ring-like
structure. When the chamber space inside the inflatable bed is
inflated, the connecting members arranged in the longitudinal and
transverse directions provide a bubble-like effect, thereby
enhancing the comfort for the user to lie on the inflatable bed.
Further, the inflatable bed is light and small in size after
collapsed, which is advantageous for camping and
mountaineering.
[0006] Preferably, the upper body and each of the connecting
members are joined together by a press-fit technique, such as high
frequency heating, to form a bonded portion so that the upper body
is connected with the connecting member.
[0007] Preferably, the lower body and each of the connecting
members are joined together by a press-fit technique, such as high
frequency heating, to form a bonded portion so that the lower body
is connected with the connecting member.
[0008] Preferably, the bonded portion may be of various shapes,
such as a circle, a rectangle, a strip, or a polygon, but not
limited thereto.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention;
[0010] FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the present invention
in an inflated state;
[0011] FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the present invention
in a deflated state; and
[0012] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the
present invention, showing the bonded portion in the form of a
strip.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described,
by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present invention
discloses an inflatable bed 1. The inflatable bed 1 comprises an
upper body 11, a lower body 12, and a closed chamber space 10
formed between the upper body 11 and the lower body 12. The present
invention is characterized in that the inflatable bed 1 includes a
plurality of connecting members 2 therein. The connecting members 2
are spaced a determined distance apart from each other and arranged
longitudinally and transversely inside the inflatable bed 1 for
connecting the upper body 11 with the lower body 12.
[0015] Each connecting member 2 is a thin ring-like structure. The
upper body 11 and the connecting member 2 are joined together by a
press-fit technique, such as high frequency heating, to form a
bonded portion 13 so that the upper body 11 is connected with the
connecting member 2. The lower body 12 is connected with the
connecting member 2 in the same manner.
[0016] According to the above-described structure, when the chamber
space 10 inside the inflatable bed 1 is inflated, the connecting
members 2 spaced a determined distance apart from each other and
arranged longitudinally and transversely are inflated and connected
between the upper body 11 and the lower body 12 to provide a
bubble-like effect, thereby enhancing the comfort for the user to
lie on the inflatable bed. Further, after the inside of the chamber
space 10 is deflated (as shown in FIG. 3), the connecting members 2
in the form of a thin ring-like structure are light and small in
size after collapsed, which is advantageous for camping and
mountaineering.
[0017] The bonded portion 13 may be of various shapes, such as a
circle. As shown in FIG. 4, the bonded portion 14 is in the form of
a strip to change the appearance thereof.
[0018] Although particular embodiments of the present invention
have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various
modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from
the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the
present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended
claims.
