Remotely controllable inflatable system with driveable inflatable form
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230132134A1) describes a remotely controllable inflatable system. The system consists of a base with at least one blower and at least one remotely controllable drive wheel. An inflatable form is connected to the base and sealed against it, and activating the blower causes the inflatable form to inflate.
The patent claims also mention that the base can include two base platforms connected via linkage, each equipped with a blower and a remotely controllable drive wheel. The inflatable form is described as bi-pedal shaped with two distinct legs, with each leg attached to one of the base platforms. The base platforms have a bottom surface and an angled back surface rising from it. Additionally, each base platform includes front and rear auxiliary wheels.
The drive wheel is positioned at the juncture of the bottom surface and the angled back surface. To prevent the inflatable form from tipping backwards, it has an inflatable trailing portion that extends rearward. The system also includes a remote-control transmitter that can activate the blower and the drive wheel.
Furthermore, the patent claims mention the inclusion of one or more tension straps connected within the inflatable form. These tension straps are connected at a rear high connection point and a front low connection point within the inflatable form. The angled back surface of each base platform has a heel attached, with a wheel affixed to it. Additionally, there is an extension wheel affixed between the driving wheel and the rear auxiliary wheel on the angled back surface.
In summary, the patent describes a remotely controllable inflatable system with a base, blower, and drive wheel. The inflatable form is bi-pedal shaped with distinct legs, and the base can have two platforms connected via linkage. The system includes auxiliary wheels, tension straps, a remote-control transmitter, and various other components to ensure stability and control.
