Abstract
A welding process of an inflatable product is provided that includes using isolating members between first and second portions of weldable tensioning members to resist the first and second portions of the weldable tensioning structures being welded together during welding of the first portions to a first sheet of weldable material and welding of the second portions to a second sheet of weldable material.
Claims35
An inflatable product including
- a first sheet made of weldable plastic,
- a second sheet made of weldable plastic, the first and second sheets cooperating to define an inflatable chamber,
- a plurality of tensioning structures, each tensioning structure including a weldable plastic, a first portion of the tensioning structures being welded to the first sheet and a second portion of the tensioning structures being welded to the second sheet, and
- a plurality of isolating members positioned in the inflatable chamber, the isolating members being positionable to isolate the first portions of the tensioning structures from the second portions of the tensioning structures to block weldable contact between the first and second portions.
