The invention provides an inflatable receptacle which may easily be brought along, and which in the inflated state may serve as a stable seat with comfortable seat height for a person. This is achieved by an inflatable receptacle which is peculiar in that the inner membrane side and the outer membrane side are interconnected by at least one membrane joint, preferably by welding the two membrane sides at the centre part of the receptacle, where the at least one membrane joint extends partially or entirely between the lower and upper ends of the receptacle. Great stability is achieved hereby, as optimal possibility for transferring an action of force applied to the upper end of the receptacle in parallel with the support face is created in order to absorb the action of force in a large part of the support face placed upon the base. This improved ability of transferring actions of force to the base arises because shear forces by disc action are transferred along a membrane joint according to the invention between the partial air chambers produced by establishing the membrane joint.
An inflatable receptacle, preferably a chamber-pot or a toilet of the chemical closet type, wherein the receptacle in inflated condition is with at least one air chamber, preferably for atmospheric air, and where the at least one air chamber is separated from the ambient atmosphere by a flexible membrane, where the receptacle is with a support face at the lower end of the receptacle for placing the receptacle on a base, where the receptacle is with an upper end, preferably intended as a seat for a person, where the receptacle furthermore includes a centre part between the upper and lower ends, and where the air chamber consisting of a membrane surrounds the interior of the receptacle with an inner membrane side and constituting the outer side of the receptacle with an outer membrane side, wherein the inner membrane side and the outer membrane side are interconnected by at least one membrane joint, preferably by welding the two membrane sides at the centre part of the receptacle, where the at least one membrane joint extends partially or entirely between the lower and upper ends of the receptacle.
