INFLATABLE SELF-ERECTING TENT

摘要

One or more inflatable tubes are used to support a self-erecting tent. If tw o or more tubes then they may have at least one cross over criss-crossed in the manner of conventional domed tent poles. The tube or tubes are secured or releasable secured to the tent so that the tent is self-erecting as the tube or tubes are inflated. When two or more tubes are employed, the tubes may be connected by an auxiliary tube so that forcing pressurized air into o ne tube results in all tubes inflating simultaneously. The ends of the tubes are self-sealing so as to accommodate relatively high air pressure within the tube, in the order of 20-30 pounds p er square inch inflated pressure, thereby providing a significantly rigid structure from which the tent is suspended.
