Abstract
An inflatable crib includes a plurality of inflatable vertical support columns and a plurality of inflatable sidewall panels, each of the sidewall panels laterally connecting an adjacent pair of the support columns. Optionally, the crib additionally includes an inflatable bottom panel disposed adjacent to the bottom of the support columns and the sidewall panels and extending therebetween, and/or an inflatable peripheral panel disposed adjacent to the bottom of each of the support columns and the sidewall panels and extending laterally outwardly therefrom to serve as an anti-tipover bumper.
Claims14
An inflatable crib comprising:
- (A) a plurality of inflatable vertical support columns, and
- (B) a plurality of inflatable sidewall panels, each of said sidewall panels laterally connecting an adjacent pair of said support columns,
- said support columns being in gaseous communications with said sidewall panels, and hence each other, only through one-way inflation-only valves so that said support columns are each commonly inflatable, but only independently deflatable.
An inflatable crib comprising:
- (A) a plurality of inflatable vertical support columns;
- (B) a plurality of inflatable sidewall panels, each of said sidewall panels defining the periphery of an aperture extending therethrough and laterally connecting an adjacent pair of said support columns;
- (C) an inflatable bottom panel disposed adjacent to a bottom of said support columns and said sidewall panels and extending therebetween;
- and
- (D) an inflatable peripheral panel disposed adjacent to the bottom of each of said support columns, sidewall panels and said bottom panel and extending laterally outwardly therefrom to serve as an anti-tipover bumper;
- said bottom panel, said sidewall panels and said peripheral panel being in gaseous communication and commonly inflatable and deflatable, said support columns being in gaseous communication with said sidewall and bottom panels, and hence each other, only through one-way inflation-only valves so that said support columns are commonly inflatable but only independently deflatable.
An inflatable crib comprising:
- (A) a plurality of inflatable vertical support columns, each of said support columns defining at the top thereof an overcut pillowed portion which defines creases and crevasses and is relatively more flexible and softer than the remainder of said support column;
- and
- (B) a plurality of inflatable sidewall panels, each of said sidewall panels laterally connecting an adjacent pair of said support columns.
