Inflatable drive through tunnel system
View Patent ↗An inflatable drive through tunnel system comprised of an inflatable main tunnel and an inflatable positive pressure booth area for performing simple medical diagnostic tests or the like. A patient can drive into the inflatable tunnel. Medical personnel can take samples from patients who remain in their vehicles. The medical personnel can then store the samples in the positive pressure booth area. The positive pressure ensures that outside contaminants are not brought into the booth through the air when the personnel enter and leave the booth.
1. An inflatable drive through tunnel system comprising:
an inflatable tunnel comprising a first inflatable wall, a second inflatable wall, an inflatable roof, an entrance port and an exit port, said tunnel having a side port in said first inflatable wall;
an inflatable booth disposed along said first inflatable wall of said tunnel and having an entry port in register with said side port of said inflatable tunnel, said booth having a positive interior air pressure relative to that of the interior of said inflatable tunnel and the atmosphere outside said system.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said inflatable booth is removably connected or permanently connected to said inflatable tunnel.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said inflatable booth is permanently connected to said inflatable tunnel.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein both said inflatable booth and said inflatable tunnel can be inflated through an air inlet positioned on either of said inflatable booth or said inflatable tunnel.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said inflatable booth comprises an inflatable frame having a plurality of horizontal and vertical inflatable beams, at least one air vent positioned in at least one of said inflatable beams, said air vent allowing air to pass from an inside of said inflatable frame to the interior of said inflatable booth to create said positive interior air pressure.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein said inflatable booth further comprises a peripherally extending wall system.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein there is at least one exhaust panel positioned in said peripherally extending wall system.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein there is at least one resealable orifice in said peripherally extending wall system to allow power cords or the like to pass from the interior of said inflatable booth to the exterior of said inflatable booth.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one drape, cover, or temporary wall is positioned at either or both entrance and exit ports of said inflatable tunnel.
