Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an inflatable bed, and more particularly to an inflatable bed which is able to support a load thereon and maintain the integral shape without deformation on opposite sides of the bed.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Inflatable beds have been used for years by many families all over the world. The biggest advantage of the inflatable bed is its maneuverability such that the user may set up an inflatable bed almost any time at any place.
- With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, a conventional inflatable bed comprises a primary bed (1) and a supporting bed (2). The primary bed (1) has multiple air chambers (10) integrally connected with one another in series. The supporting bed (2) also has multiple chambers (20) integrally connected to a bottom of the primary bed (1).
- Through an inflation device, the inflatable bed is ready for use. However, when the supporting bed (2) is inflated, each of the chambers (20) become cylindrical such that when there is a road on top of the primary bed (1), opposite sides of the supporting bed (2) respectively move outward and deform to spoil the overall appearance of the inflatable bed.
- To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide an improved inflatable bed to mitigate and obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an improved inflatable bed which is able to maintain the overall appearance even when there is a load on top of the inflatable bed.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide an improved inflatable bed composed of a primary bed and a supporting bed. The primary bed has two extensions respectively extending from two sides of the primary bed to engage with the supporting bed respectively so that structurally the supporting bed is integral to the primary bed and thus deformation of the inflatable bed is avoided.
- Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the inflatable bed of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the inflatable bed in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view of a second embodiment of the inflatable bed of the present invention;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a conventional inflatable bed; and
- FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of the conventional inflatable bed in FIG. 4.
- With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the inflatable bed in accordance with the present invention has a primary bed (1) and a supporting rim (2) securely connected to an outer contour of the primary bed (1).
- The primary bed (1) has an extension (11) extending from all sides of the primary bed (1). The supporting rim (2) is composed of a first foil (21) and a second foil (22) securely connected to the first foil (21). The supporting rim is securely connected to the outer contour of the primary bed (1) and the supporting rim is hollow in the central portion thereof.
- The extension (11) is securely engaged with an end side of the second foil (22) so as to form the supporting rim (2). Due to the engagement of the extension (11) to the second foil (22), movement of the supporting rim (2) is limited.
- With reference to FIG. 3, it is noted from another embodiment of the present invention that the extension (11) may just be securely connected to a foil (23) to form the supporting rim (2).
- With such an arrangement, it is concluded that because the extension (11) securely engages with the outer surface of the second foil (22) or the foil (23), movement of the supporting rim (2) is limited and the overall appearance of the inflatable bed is maintained even after a load, i.e. a user, is laid on top of the primary bed (1).
- It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
