Abstract
Deflectors for inflatabe watercraft or other objects are disclosed. The deflectors themselves may be inflatable and distinct from the crafts to which they are attached. They thus may be used to increase the height of the crafts without changing the dimensions of the tubes from which the crafts are formed or diminishing the cockpit space available within the crafts.
Claims9
Inflatable craft defining (i) a forward edge and (ii) a cockpit rearward of the forward edge, the cockpit comprising an open space adapted to support a person, the craft comprising:
- a. at least one inflatable component having an edge forming a boundary of the cockpit;
- and
- b. at least one inflatable deflector directly or indirectly attached to the at least one inflatable component intermediate the forward edge and the cockpit so as (i) not to extend beyond the edge of the at least one ingatable component and thus (ii) not to protrude into the open space of the cockpit.
Inflatable craft defining (i) a forward edge and (ii) a cockpit rearward of the forward edge, the cockpit comprising an open space adapted to support a person, the craft comprising:
- a. at least one inflatable component having an edge forming a boundary of the cockpit;
- and
- b. at least one inflatable wind shield directly or indirectly attached to the at least one inflatable component intermediate the forward edge and the cockpit so as (i) not to extend beyond the edge of the at least one inflatable component and thus (ii) not to protrude into the open space of the cockpit, the at least one wind shield being inflatable separately from the at least one inflatable component.
Inflatable craft defining (i) a forward edge and (ii) a cockpit rearward of the forward edge, the cockpit comprising an open space adapted to support a person, the craft comprising:
- a. at least one inflatable component having an edge forming a boundary of the cockpit, and
- b. at least one inflatable deflector integrally formed with the at least one inflatable component intermediate the forward edge and the cockpit so as (i) not to extend beyond the edge of the at least one inflatable component and thus (ii) not to protrude into the open space of the cockpit.
