Abstract
An inflatable apparatus is disclosed that includes an inflatable mattress with a tent coupled to the inflatable mattress. The inflatable mattress may include an inflatable mattress chamber with two elongated inflatable chambers attached to the inflatable mattress chamber. The two elongated inflatable chambers may provide support and stability for the inflatable mattress chamber. The tent may be a collapsible tent coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber. The inflatable mattress and the tent, when deflated and collapsed, respectively, may be rolled-up or folded-up into a compact state for transport and/or storage.
Claims17
An inflatable apparatus, comprising:
- an inflatable mattress, the inflatable mattress comprising an inflatable mattress chamber in fluid communication with two elongated inflatable chambers, the two elongated inflatable chambers being positioned lengthwise along longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber, wherein the two elongated inflatable chambers are positioned at least partially underneath the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber, wherein at least a portion of each of the two elongated chambers extend beyond a width of the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- and wherein the inflatable mattress chamber includes a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface when inflated;
- an inflation device coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers, the inflation device configured to inflate the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers to raise the inflatable mattress chamber to a selected inflated height;
- wherein, when inflated, the two elongated inflatable chambers have an inflated height, and wherein the bottom planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber is in tangential contact with both of the two elongated inflatable chambers along their outer surfaces at the inflated height of the two elongated inflatable chambers;
- and
- a portable shelter coupled to an upper surface of the inflatable mattress chamber.
An inflatable apparatus, comprising:
- an inflatable mattress chamber, wherein the inflatable mattress chamber includes a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface when inflated;
- two elongated inflatable chambers in fluid communication with the inflatable mattress chamber, the two elongated inflatable chambers being positioned lengthwise along longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- wherein at least some portion of the two elongated chambers extends beyond the longitudinal edges of the bottom surface of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- an inflation device coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers, the inflation device configured to inflate the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers to raise the inflatable mattress chamber to a selected inflated height;
- and
- a portable shelter coupled to an upper surface of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- wherein the two elongated inflatable chambers are positioned at least partially underneath the longitudinal edges of the bottom planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber with the longitudinal edges of the bottom planar surface of the inflatable mattress chamber extending wider than centers of the two elongated inflatable chambers.
An inflatable apparatus, comprising:
- an inflatable mattress chamber;
- two separate, elongated inflatable chambers coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber, wherein the two separate, elongated inflatable chambers are in fluid communication with the inflatable mattress chamber, the two separate, elongated inflatable chambers being positioned in parallel lengthwise along opposing longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- wherein at least ¼ to ½ of the two separated, elongated inflatable chambers extend wider than the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- an inflation device coupled to the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers, the inflation device configured to inflate the inflatable mattress chamber and the two elongated inflatable chambers to raise the inflatable mattress chamber to a selected inflated height;
- and
- a portable shelter coupled to an upper surface of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- wherein the two elongated inflatable chambers are positioned at least partially underneath the longitudinal edges of the inflatable mattress chamber;
- and
- wherein, when the two elongated inflatable chambers and a lower surface of the inflatable mattress chamber are at the selected inflated height, the lower surface of the inflatable mattress chamber is in contact with uppermost inflated points of the two elongated inflatable chambers, the uppermost inflated points being the uppermost points with respect to a ground surface configured for the two elongated inflatable chambers.
