Claims20
An inflatable structure, comprising:
- a bag configured to be inflated and deflated;
- a strut positioned in the bag and comprising a plurality of telescopic stages configured to extend and retract telescopically in the bag such that the bag extends and retract in an extension direction of the strut;
- and
- a plurality of tensile wires disposed in the bag and configured to be extended in a direction intersecting the extension direction of the strut, respectively,
- wherein the plurality of tensile wire includes two tensile wires configured to be extended from one side to another side of the bag in the direction intersecting the extension direction of the strut such that each of the two tensile wires extends and intersects a first direction perpendicular to the extension direction and a second direction perpendicular to the extension direction and that a distance between the two tensile wires increases from the one side to the other side in the extension direction, and the two tensile wires have ends on the one side in the extension direction respectively such that the ends of the two tensile wires are movable in the first direction.
