Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to toys, and more particularly to cloth inflatable
toys.
Background of the Invention
[0002] Most present toys are made of rigid plastic or metal. Their shortcomings are as follows:
it is inconvenient to carry them; when they collide with human body, they can easily
injure it and therefore they are of low safety.
Description of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of low safety in and
inconvenience of carrying the existing toys and provide a cloth inflatable toy which
is of high safety and convenient to be carried.
[0004] The technical solution is described as follows:
[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved as follows: a cloth inflatable
toy comprising a fan and a number of cloth pieces, characterized in that the cloth
inflatable toy further comprising a tube bracket which is composed of two or more
interlinked cloth tubes, the air outlet of the fan is connected with the air inlet
of the tube bracket, and the sides of the cloth pieces used as the walls of the toy
are sewed on the corresponding cloth tubes respectively.
[0006] A cloth inflatable toy, characterized in that an air discharge opening is assembled
on the said tube bracket.
[0007] A cloth inflatable toy, characterized in that the air discharge opening of the said
tube bracket is far away from the air inlet opening.
[0008] A cloth inflatable toy, characterized in that at least one of the said cloth pieces
is used as a curtain.
[0009] A cloth inflatable toy, characterized in that an entrance is opened on at least one
of the said cloth pieces.
[0010] The said cloth tubes are sewed with cloth and can allow air to pass through. When
the cloth inflatable toy is in use, the fan is switched on and air is being blown
into the tube bracket through its air inlet to inflate the tube bracket so as to make
it become three-dimensional. The cloth inflatable toy can be entered into when the
cloth piece used as curtain is raised. After the cloth inflatable toy is used, the
fan is switched off and then the whole toy, as it being made of cloth pieces, can
be folded together for convenience of carrying.
[0011] The beneficial effects are as follows:
[0012] As a result of the application of the technical solution described in the present
invention, the main part of the cloth inflatable toy except the fan outside the tube
bracket is made of cloth. Therefore, people will not be injured by hard objects while
playing and the toy is of high safety. Moreover, since the tube bracket and its connected
cloth pieces can be folded into a flake, it is very convenient to carry the toy.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment
[0015] Referring to Fig.1, the embodiment 1 is a cloth inflatable toy house, which can also
be used as a field tent for adults or children, comprising a tube bracket formed by
two pentagonal cloth tubes 15 and 16, two opposite lower cloth tubes 11 (only one
can be seen in Fig.1), two upper cloth tubes 12 and 14, and a top cloth tube 13. The
lower cloth tube 11 is connected with the air outlet of the fan 2 through the connecting
tube 21, the other end of the lower cloth tube 11 is assembled with an air discharge
opening 22. The cloth piece used as the curtain 34 is pentagonal, its two upper bevel
edges are sewed on two bevel edges of the pentagonal cloth tube 15 respectively, and
there is an opening or cut in the center of the curtain 34. The space surrounded by
the upper cloth tube 12, the lower cloth tube 11, one side of the pentagonal cloth
tube 15, and one side of the pentagonal cloth tube 16 is covered with the cloth piece
31 and it is sewed on the corresponding cloth tubes. Similarly, the four sides of
the cloth piece 32 are sewed on the top cloth tube 13, the upper cloth tube 12, and
two bevel edges of the pentagonal cloth tubes 15 and 16 respectively. The spaces surrounded
by other corresponding cloth tubes are also covered by cloth pieces and they are sewed
together. Therefore, a toy house is formed. Fig.1 shows the inflatable state of the
inflatable toy house. When the fan 2 is switched off, the whole toy house can be folded
together like clothing.
[0016] Referring to Figure 2, the embodiment 2 is a cloth inflatable toy boat, the upper
side of the rectangular cloth tube 41 is sewed on the cloth piece which is used as
the curtain 51, four cloth tubes are assembled on the left side of the cloth inflatable
toy boat (unmarked or unseen in Fig.2) which are symmetrical with the four cloth tubes
42, 43, 44 and 45 on the right side. The tube bracket supported by cloth tubes becomes
the bracket of the ship and strains the cloth pieces, wherein the cloth tube 47 is
used for decoration, and decorative holes are opened on the cloth pieces 53 and 54
respectively. When children raise curtain 51, they can enter into the inflatable toy
boat to play.
[0017] The inflatable toy of the present invention can also be other shapes and no more
embodiments would be described herein.
