Abstract: An inflatable object with a sag to enclose pressurized air to a predetermined threshold pressure and to obtain a shape, a decorative dress to cover at least a portion of the sag and having characteristics of an object having the shape when covering the sag outer surface, couplings on the sag outer surface to which the decorative dress is attached, a frame to support at least a portion of the sag, an air pump coupled to the sag by a unidirectional inlet valve, and to provide the insufflated air to the sag, an optional sensor coupled to the sag and configured to detect sag air pressure; and a controller, coupled between the sensor and the pump. The controller operates the pump to automatically maintain a threshold pressure of air within the sag. The sensor and the controller are disposed on the sag surface.
Abstract: An inflatable object with a sag to enclose pressurized air to a predetermined threshold pressure and to obtain a shape, a decorative dress to cover at least a portion of the sag and having characteristics of an object having the shape when covering the sag outer surface, couplings on the sag outer surface to which the decorative dress is attached, a frame to support at least a portion of the sag, an electric air pump coupled to the sag by a unidirectional inlet valve, and to provide the insufflated air to the sag, a sensor coupled to the sag and configured to detect sag air pressure; and a controller, coupled between the sensor and the pump. The controller operates the pump to automatically maintain a threshold pressure of air within the sag as sensed by the sensor. The sensor and the controller are disposed on the sag surface.
