Abstract

An inflatable tent includes a canopy, an inflatable main frame, and at least one inflatable intermediate arcuate support member. The inflatable main frame includes a first inflatable arcuate support member attached to the canopy and a second inflatable arcuate support member attached to the canopy. The first inflatable arcuate support member has a first end located in a first one of four corners of the canopy and a second end located in a second one of the corners of the canopy. The second inflatable arcuate support member has a first end located in a third one of the corners of the canopy and a second end located in a fourth one of the corners of the canopy. The intermediate arcuate support member is attached to the canopy and located between the first inflatable arcuate support member and the second inflatable arcuate support member.

Claims (28)

1. An inflatable tent comprising:

a canopy having four corners;

an inflatable main frame including a first inflatable arcuate support member attached to the canopy and a second inflatable arcuate support member attached to the canopy, the first inflatable arcuate support member having a first end located in a first one of the four corners and a second end located in a second one of the four corners, the second inflatable arcuate support member having a first end located in a third one of the four corners and a second end located in a fourth one of the four corners;

at least one inflatable intermediate arcuate support member attached to the canopy and located between the first inflatable arcuate support member and the second inflatable arcuate support member, the first end and the second end of the first inflatable arcuate support member are located in a front side of the canopy, and the first end and the second inflatable arcuate support member being located in a rear side of the canopy;

an inflatable front support beam attached to the front side of the canopy, the inflatable front support beam having two ends respectively attached to two points of the first inflatable arcuate support member; and

a plurality of reinforcing support beams attached to the front side of the canopy and located between the first inflatable arcuate support member and the inflatable front support beam.

2. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said at least one intermediate arcuate support member extends on a plane parallel to the front side and the rear side of the canopy.

3. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 2 , further including an inflatable support beam attached to a top of the canopy and having a first end communicated with a vertex of the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with a vertex of the second inflatable arcuate support member.

4. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a middle portion of the inflatable top beam is communicated with a vertex of said at least one inflatable intermediate arcuate support member.

5. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 1 , further including an inflatable support beam attached to a top of the canopy and having a first end communicated with a vertex of the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with a vertex of the second inflatable arcuate support member.

6. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each said reinforcing support beam has an upper end communicated with an arcuate top portion of the first inflatable arcuate support member.

7. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 1 , further including two inflatable lateral support beams attached to two lateral sides of the canopy, each said inflatable lateral support beam having a first end communicated with the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with the second arcuate support member.

8. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 1 , further including two lower beams attached to lower edges of two lateral sides of the canopy, each said lower beam having a first end communicated with the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with the second inflatable arcuate support member.

9. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 1 , further including an inflatable mattress mounted to a ground inside the canopy, the inflatable mattress having a periphery connected to a lower periphery of the canopy.

10. An inflatable tent comprising:

a canopy having four corners;

an inflatable main frame including a first inflatable arcuate support member attached to the canopy and a second inflatable arcuate support member attached to the canopy, the first inflatable arcuate support member having a first end located in a first one of the four corners and a second end located in a second one of the four corners, the second inflatable arcuate support member having a first end located in a third one of the four corners and a second end located in a fourth one of the four corners;

at least one inflatable intermediate arcuate support member attached to the canopy and located between the first inflatable arcuate support member and the second inflatable arcuate support member, the first end and the second end of the first inflatable arcuate support member are located in a front side of the canopy, and the first end and the second end of the second inflatable arcuate support member being located in a rear side of the canopy;

an inflatable rear support beam attached to the rear side of the canopy, the inflatable rear support beam having two ends respectively attached to two points of the second inflatable arcuate support member; and

a plurality of reinforcing support beams attached to the rear side of the canopy and located between the second inflatable arcuate support member and the inflatable rear support beam.

11. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 10 , wherein each said reinforcing support beam has an upper end communicated with an arcuate top portion of the second inflatable arcuate support member.

12. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said at least one intermediate arcuate support member extends on a plane parallel to the front side and the rear side of the canopy.

13. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 12 , further including an inflatable support beam attached to a top of the canopy and having a first end communicated with a vertex of the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with a vertex of the second inflatable arcuate support member.

14. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 13 , wherein a middle portion of the inflatable top beam is communicated with a vertex of said at least one inflatable intermediate arcuate support member.

15. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 10 , further including an inflatable support beam attached to a top of the canopy and having a first end communicated with a vertex of the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with a vertex of the second inflatable arcuate support member.

16. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 10 , further including two inflatable lateral support beams attached to two lateral sides of the canopy, each said inflatable lateral support beam having a first end communicated with the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with the second arcuate support member.

17. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 10 , further including two lower beams attached to lower edges of two lateral sides of the canopy, each said lower beam having a first end communicated with the first inflatable arcuate support member and a second end communicated with the second inflatable arcuate support member.

18. The inflatable tent as claimed in claim 10 , further including an inflatable mattress mounted to a ground inside the canopy, the inflatable mattress having a periphery connected to a lower periphery of the canopy.
