Abstract: An inflatable device including an inflatable body, at least one processor and communication circuit, at least one fan connected to the at least one processor, at least one lighting component connected to the at least one processor, and at least one speaker connected to the at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to control operation of the at least one fan to manage the inflation of the inflatable body, control operation of the at least one lighting component, and control operation of the at least one speaker. The processor may be further configured to execute operational control responsive to signals from an application installed on a mobile device. The inflatable device may be configured to play audio from the mobile device over the at least one speaker and match light patterns of the at least one lighting component to the audio.

Abstract: A self-inflating swimming aid comprises a flotation member having a core of open cell foam closely encompassed in a waterproof casing of impermeable plastic. An inflation valve allows fluid communication with the foam core through the cover. The device is inflated by opening the valve so that the foam core may assume its expanded shape, and is deflated by compressing the foam core to force the air out of the flotation member through the valve. Once the flotation member is deflated to a desirable size and shape, the valve may be closed and the device may be folded or rolled up for storage.

Abstract: An inflatable flotation device includes one of more pockets for receiving and retaining a lighting element or elements. The lighting elements may be readily inserted into and removed from the pockets so that the user may select the location of the elements. The user may also choose the direction of the light beam emanating from each element. The lighting elements are water-tight in construction and fully submersible, and may be controlled remotely by low-frequency signals that allow the user to selectively activate each element and control the color of its light beam.

Abstract: An adjustable seat for a flotation device includes a seat member made of flexible material attached to, surrounded by, and depending from the flotation device, said seat having two apertures therein for receipt of the legs of a child. An adjustment strap extends from front to back under said seat, and is attached at its ends to the flotation device, Connection means permit the adjustment of the length of the strap, thereby changing the size of the seat member to accommodate children of different sizes.

Abstract: A submersible toy whose density is less than water, and whose design and construction allow the toy to glide forward, when released underwater, at a slight upward angle as the toy rises to the surface of the water. The toy includes a single wing, slidable along a channel within the body, that produces variations in movement of the toy depending on the selected position of the wing relative to the body of the toy.

Abstract: Recreational flotation devices are generally described. The flotation device may comprise inflatable portions of different size that aid a user in achieving a sitting position.

Abstract: This invention relates to recreational flotation devices, and particularly to floating mattresses or lounges, and to a method for manufacturing same.

Abstract: According to one aspect, embodiments of the invention provide a recreational floatation device comprising a body portion comprising an inflatable member having a first inner perimeter surrounding a first inner area, a first support portion comprising a layer of material extending through the first inner area and attached to the inflatable member at its first inner perimeter to support a user of the device, a back support member located within said first inner area, a hinge mechanism coupled to the back support member and the first inner perimeter and configured to allow the back support member to rotate between a first position, wherein a substantial portion of the back support member extends generally away from the first inner area, and a second position, in which the back support member lies substantially within the first inner area.

Abstract: An inflatable display assembly includes a base member to which the inflatable body is permanently attached. The base member has a channel therethrough, one end of the channel being affixed to an opening in the fabric of inflatable body. An external air blower unit may be removably attached to base member at one end of said channel to provide a flow of air through the base member and then into the inflatable body.

Abstract: This invention relates to children's toys, and particularly to an array of toys that may be attached to a baby boat or stroller, or may be used independently in or out of a bathtub, pool, or other body of water, to stimulate and entertain a child by providing a simulated control panel or dashboard panel of a boat or other vehicle.
