Description
SELF-STORING AIRBED
REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
(0001) This application claims the benefit of U.S. patent application serial number 11/126,449, filed May 11, 2005 and incorporated herein by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
(0002) The present invention is directed to inflatable products, and more specifically to airbeds.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(0003) An airbed is a large rectangular rubber or plastic (e.g., vinyl) bag that is filled with air so that it may be used as a bed. Airbeds are well known in the art and have proven themselves to be very useful. On the one hand, an inflatable airbed may be deflated and folded to store the airbed in a closet or basement. On the other hand, when guests arrive or when the owner of the airbed takes a trip to a place where there is no bed, the airbed may be inflated and may be used as a bed.
(0004) An air mat is similar in construction to an airbed, but is used as a float so that an individual may lie on the air mat in the water. Both products fall under the broad category of "inflatable" products. Other nonlimiting
examples of inflatable products include rafts, inflatable furniture, inflatable pools, and inflatable boats.
(0005) One problem often encountered with inflatable products such as airbeds is that they are difficult to store. For example, often, an airbed is shipped in a box, and storing the airbed in the box is difficult, if not impossible. When the airbed is shipped, there is almost no air at all in the airbed, and it is efficiently folded so as to fit in the box. A user may find it difficult to remove all air from the airbed, and/or replicate the folding pattern used in shipping of the product. Thus, the user typically folds the airbed as tightly as possible and extends it partly into the box, with a portion hanging out. Even if the user can get the airbed back into the box, the box may become crushed, torn, broken, or otherwise damaged with use. If a box is not used, the user must store the airbed in a different manner, such as in a separate bag or using ties.
SUMMARY QF THE INVENTION
(0006) The following presents a simplified summary of some embodiments of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some embodiments of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
(0007) In accordance with an embodiment, an airbed or inflatable product is provided with an integral sleeve. After deflation of the airbed, the airbed is rolled or folded into a tight formation, and the sleeve is extended around the airbed for storage.
(0008) In accordance with an embodiment, the sleeve is a flat fabric material that is attached to a seam of the airbed, for example by welding.
(0009) In accordance with an embodiment, the sleeve includes drawstrings or cords for tying and tightening the sleeve around the airbed. A handle may also be provided for carrying the stored airbed once the sleeve is in place.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
(0016) In the following description, various embodiments of the present invention will be described. For purposes of explanation, specific configurations and details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it will also be apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without the specific details. Furthermore, well- known features may be omitted or simplified in order not to obscure the embodiment being described.
(Q017) Referring now to the drawings, in which like reference numerals represent like parts throughout the several views, FIG. 1 shows an airbed 20 encased by a sleeve 22 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. Briefly described, the sleeve 22 is attached to the airbed 20 and is configured so that it may extend around and enclose the airbed 20 when air is deflated from the airbed and the airbed is rolled or folded into a tight configuration. In general, the present invention is directed to a sleeve, such as the sleeve 22, for use an inflatable product such as the airbed 20, but sleeves in accordance with the invention may be utilized with other inflatable products including, but not limited to, air mats, rafts, inflatable furniture, inflatable pools, inflatable boats, and other inflatable products.
(0018) FIG. 2 shows the airbed 20 fully inflated. The airbed 20 includes a top wall 24, a bottom wall 26, and a side wall 28 joining the top wall and bottom wall. Together the top wall 24, the bottom wall 26, and the side wall 28 form an airtight mattress. The side wall 28 is connected to the bottom wall 26 at a lower seam 30. This lower seam 30 may be, for example, a weld. Similarly, the top wall 24 is attached to the side wall 28 at an upper seam 32.
(0019) Details of the sleeve 22 are shown in FIG. 3. In the embodiment shown, a strip 34 attaches to the lower seam 30. This strip 34 is preferably sewn or otherwise permanently affixed to the lower seam 30. The strip 34 is preferably formed of a material so that it may be welded, heat-fused, or otherwise formed as a portion of the airbed 20. Although shown as attached to the lower seam 30, the strip 34 or other parts of the sleeve 22 may alternatively be attached to
(0020) A rectangular fabric 36 is attached to the strip 34. The rectangular fabric 36 is preferably wider than the strip 34, and is of sufficient length to wrap around the airbed 20 when the airbed is folded or rolled into a storage configuration, such as is shown in FIG. 1.
(0021) Cords 38, 40 extend along the side edges of the rectangular fabric 36 within channels 42, 44 formed in
the fabric by sew lines 46, 48. These cords 38, 40 are free to slide within the channels 42, 44, but alternatively may be fixed in one position, such as by sewing a stitch through the rectangular fabric 36 into each cord 38 and 40.
(0022) In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, a handle 50 is provided on the underside of the rectangular fabric 36 at a position near the strip 34. This handle 50 is arranged on the outside of the sleeve 22 when the sleeve 22 encases the airbed 20, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
(0023) An alternate embodiment is shown in FIG. 4, wherein a sleeve 60 includes an opening 62 at its outer end. The sleeve in this embodiment is longer than the sleeve 22, and wraps more than once around the rolled airbed 20. When extended beyond the handle 50, the opening 62 extends over and around the handle 50. Thus, access to the handle 50 is still provided, and any pulling on the handle 50 is restrained from sliding the sleeve 60 by the opening 62 engaging the handle 50.
(0024) In use, the airbed 20 is deflated and then rolled or folded into a compressed state. In an embodiment, the airbed is rolled so that it forms a cylinder. The cylinder is preferably narrower than the width of the rectangular fabric 36, and wider than the strip 34.
(0025) After the airbed 20 has been rolled or folded into a compressed configuration, the sleeve 22 or 60 is
pulled upward around the rolled airbed and then extended around the airbed. An example of a rolled configuration of the airbed 20 is shown in FIG. 5. The sleeve 60 is shown partly extended around the rolled airbed 20 in FIG. 5.
(0026) After the sleeve 22 is fully extended around the airbed 20, the cords 38, 40 are pulled tight and the ends of each cord are tied together so as to tighten the sleeve 22 about the ends of and around the airbed. In alternate embodiments, the cords are replaced with snaps, hook and loop fasteners, clips, clasps, hooks, or other suitable fasteners or fastening structures.
(0027) In a finished state, the sleeve 22 or 60 surrounds the airbed 20, as is shown in FIGS. 1 and 5. The handle 50 is presented on the outside of the sleeve 22 and may be used for transporting the airbed 20.
(0028) Other variations are within the spirit of the present invention. Thus, while the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, a certain illustrated embodiment thereof is shown in the drawings and has been described above in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form or forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention, as
