BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to an inflatable sofa module, and more particularly,
to an inflatable sofa module that is easy to disassemble, assemble, store and transport.
2. Description of the Related Art
[0002] One of the most popular pieces of inflatable furniture is the air bed, which can
be deflated for easy storage. Currently, other types of inflatable furniture exist
on the market, such as inflatable sofas, but they are not very popular. This is primarily
due to their appearance, which is not very attractive. Moreover, it is more expensive
to manufacture sofas because they have more complicated structures.
[0003] Therefore, it is desirable to provide an inflatable sofa module to mitigate and/or
obviate the aforementioned problems.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] An objective of the present invention is to provide an inflatable sofa module that
is easy to disassemble, assemble, store and transport.
[0005] Another objective of the present invention is to provide an inflatable sofa module
that has reduced manufacturing costs.
[0006] Another objective of the present invention is to provide an inflatable sofa module,
such as a sofa, that has an appearance similar to a traditional sofa.
[0007] A further objective of the present invention is to provide an inflatable sofa module
that is different from other filled sofas so that it does not collect bacteria or
dust, and is not a burden on landfills.
[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the inflatable sofa module of
the present invention the inflatable sofa module comprises a plurality of connectors,
a plurality of base rods, a plurality of leg rods, a plurality of back rod, a base
inflatable cushion and a back inflatable cushion.
[0009] The pluralities of base rods are connected by several connectors to form a base portion.
The plurality of leg rods are connected with the base portion by several connectors
so that the base portion can be lift.
[0010] The base inflatable cushion is positioned on the base upper area. The pluralities
of back rods are connected with the base portion by several connectors. The back inflatable
cushion has a back through hole, wherein at least one of the back rods passes through
the back through hole to hold the back inflatable cushion.
[0011] Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent
from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying
drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0013] Fifth embodiments are provided in the following, and the example inflatable sofa
module of the present invention is a sofa.
[0014] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 2, which disclose a first embodiment inflatable sofa
module (10). As shown in FIG. 1, the inflatable sofa module (10) comprises a plurality
of connectors (70), a plurality of base rods (30), a plurality of leg rods (60), a
plurality of back rod (50), a base inflatable cushion (21) and a back inflatable cushion
(25).
[0015] The pluralities of base rods (30) are connected by several connectors (70) to form
a base portion (35). The base portion (35) has a base upper area (351), base bottom
area (352), two lateral edges (353), a front edge (354) and a back edge (355).
[0016] The plurality of leg rods (60) are connected with the base bottom area (352) by several
connectors (70) so that the base portion (35) can be lift.
[0017] The base inflatable cushion (21) is positioned on the base upper area (351). The
size of the base inflatable cushion (21) should cover all or at least most the base
upper area (351).
[0018] The pluralities of back rod (50) are connected with the base upper area (351) of
the base portion (35) by several connectors (70). The back inflatable cushion (25)
has a back through hole (251), wherein at least one of the back rods (50) passes through
the back through hole (251) to hold the back inflatable cushion (25).
[0019] Please refer to FIG. 3, for a second embodiment. The major difference between the
first and second embodiment is regarding the back inflatable cushion (25). The back
inflatable cushion (25) of the inflatable sofa module (10b) has a different shape
and has two back through hole (251). Therefore two back rods (50) pass through two
back through holes (251) respectively to hold the back inflatable cushion (25). The
major point of the second embodiment is to show that with more back through holes
(251) for the back inflatable cushion (25) will let more back rods (50) pass through
thereof so that the strength for holding the user back will be increased. In addition,
the shape of the back inflatable cushion (25) may be more variable.
[0020] Please refer to FIG. 4, for a third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the inflatable
sofa module (10c) further comprises a plurality of side rods (40) connected with the
two lateral edges (353) of the base portion (35) by several connectors (70). The inflatable
sofa module (10) further has two side inflatable cushions (23). Each of the side inflatable
cushions (23) has a side through hole (231). At least two side rods (40) each passes
through corresponding side through hole (231) to hold two side inflatable cushions
(23).
[0021] Please refer to FIG. 5, for a forth embodiment. The major difference between the
forth and third embodiment is only one side inflatable cushion (23) is connected on
one lateral edge (353) of the base portion (35) by connectors (70). In the forth embodiment,
the side inflatable cushion (23) also has one side through hole (231) to let one side
rods (40) passing through. In addition, the length of the base inflatable cushion
(21) is longer enough so that the inflatable sofa module (10d) can be used as a sofa
and a bed too.
[0022] Please refer to FIG. 6, for a fifth embodiment. The major difference between the
fifth and third embodiment is that two side inflatable cushions (23) of the inflatable
sofa module (10e) do not have side through holes (231). Therefore, the side rod (40)
is not necessary required. In the fifth embodiment, two side inflatable cushions (23)
are directly connected with the base inflatable cushion (21) on the attached area
(21 a), for example, by ways of gluing, sewing, etc.
[0023] Please note that the base inflatable cushion (21), the side inflatable cushion (23)
and the back inflatable cushion (25) mentioned above should all have at least one
inflation valve (80) thereon, so that cushions can be inflated when using or deflated
when packed.

it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be
made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
