Abstract
An inflatable dock includes a docking platform with an inflation interface, a pair of arms, and an indentation positioned between the arms, a perimeter edge having a plurality of edge handles, a water-contacting surface opposing the docking platform and with the perimeter edge positioned between the docking platform and the water-contacting surface, an integrated ramp system positioned within the indentation and including a ramp structure with a plurality of ramp steps with at least two of the steps being weighted, and a plurality of attached metallic rings.
Claims20
An inflatable dock that is floatable on water and mountable by a user, the dock comprising:
- (a.) a docking platform having a length and width with respective axes, the docking platform comprising a pair of arms extending lengthwise away from the docking platform, the docking platform further comprising an indentation positioned between the arms, the indentation receding lengthwise in and toward the docking platform, the indentation being centrally aligned with the docking platform's length axis;
- (b.) a perimeter edge running orthogonally to the docking platform along its length and width, the perimeter edge following the indentation along a recessed edge and a pair of parallel extended edges, the recessed edge running parallel to the docking platform's width, the extended edges running orthogonally to the recessed edge;
- (c.) a water-contacting surface opposing the docking platform, the perimeter edge positioned between the docking platform and the water-contacting surface;
- and,
- (d.) an integrated ramp system positioned within the indentation and comprising a ramp structure and joining structure, the joining structure connecting the ramp system to the perimeter edge, the ramp structure extending away from the inflatable dock such that the ramp structure is submerged below the water's surface when the dock is inflated and floated.
