  • Publication number: 20210060399
    Abstract: An inflatable cornhole game board that is compact and light for transport, easy to inflate, and maintains a smooth and rigid surface for play. The rectangular playing board uses drop-stitch material, formed of opposing base layers of polyester support fabric joined to each other by thousands of fine polyester threads. One or more layers of airtight PVC coating layers are applied to the outer surfaces of both base substrates. Near one end of the rectangular playing board, a hole passes through the playing board. Sidewall material, usually made of a polyester base fabric with a non-breathable coating is glued between the outer edges of the top and bottom layers, as well as the inner edges of the cornhole, to create an airtight drop-stitch core. An inflatable support member, also formed by the drop-stitch construction, is glued to the bottom surface of one end of the rectangular playing board.

  • Patent number: 9114862
    Abstract: An inflatable board, which can be used for floating or paddling on water, with a thin layer of inelastic material, such as acrylic, bonded between the layers of material forming the top or bottom surfaces of an inflatable board. The thin layer of inelastic material is bonded between the inner material and the outer material. The thin layer of inelastic material is bendable, so that the un-inflated board may be rolled-up for storage or transportation. When inflated, the thin layer of inelastic material bonded between the layers of the top or bottom surfaces of the board increases the rigidity of the board and the board's ability to resist flexing and bending.

  • Patent number: 7552694
    Abstract: A frameless inflatable pontoon boat in which the pontoons and connecting section have a generally flat top and a generally flat bottom. Sufficient rigidity is achieved in the inflatable connecting section and the pontoon by the use of internal thread connections between the top surface and the bottom surface. The internal thread connections confine the inflated shape of the pontoons and connecting section to a flat shape.

  • Patent number: 7506418
    Abstract: The invention is a protective cover for a buckle, for protecting a vehicle from the buckle, which may be used with a strap to secure loads such as kayaks, rafts, and canoes to the vehicle roof. The buckle and its attached strap can be inserted into the protective cover, and can later be removed from the protective strap if desired. The release lever of the buckle is covered by the protective cover, and is depressed by pressing down on a portion of the protective cover.
