Abstract
An inflatable structure for viewing video images or projected images, the inflatable structure comprised of a plurality of panels sewn or heat welded together to form a desired shape, the interior of the structure being constructed of a series of honeycomb/baffles or tubes for stability, the inflatable structure having an inlet port in communication with a blower unit for inflation of the structure, the inflatable structure having an outlet port for release of air pressure within the inflatable structure when desired, one face of inflatable structure being formed with a fastening means in order to secure a flexible resilient panel of white pigment or silver pigment or other desired pigment to form a screen onto which the video or projected image is projected.
Claims6
An inflatable projection imaging screen structure for the projection of an image thereon comprising:
- a plurality of exterior panels sewn or heat welded together to form an inflatable structure having a front face, rear face, opposing side faces, top face and bottom face, said plurality of exterior panels and plurality of interior baffle panel members are fabricated from a flexible polymer of a thickness of 10 mils;
- a sleeve member secured to one of said exterior panel members and secured to a blower means, said blower means in communication with a power source, said blower means for the inflation of said inflatable projection imaging screen structure;
- a plurality of interior baffle panel members sewn or heat welded in communication with said front face and said rear face panels and said top face and said bottom face panels, said plurality of interior baffle panel members having a plurality of apertures there through for the direction and passage of air from said blower means, said interior baffle panel members providing internal structural integrity to said inflatable projection imaging screen structure;
- a screen member secured to said inflatable projection imaging screen structure for receipt of a projection of an image thereupon said screen member is secured to said inflatable projection imaging screen structure by means of a hook and loop fastener means wherein one portion of said hook and loop fastener means is secured about a periphery of a rear surface of said screen member and a compatible portion of said hook and loop fastener means is secured to said front face of said inflatable projection imaging screen structure in a matching periphery to said periphery of said screen member, said screen member secured to said compatible hook and loop fastener means on said front face of said inflatable projection imaging screen structure by contacting said hook and loop fastener means, said screen member and said hook and loop fastener means are contemporaneous with the periphery of said front face of said inflatable projection imaging screen structure;
- and
- a rigging means to maintain said inflatable projection image screen in an upright orientation.
