Abstract: Inflatable kayak having a pneumatically inflatable peripheral tube with elongated side sections which come together fore and aft to form a passenger compartment, a flexible cover encasing the tube and forming a shell against which the tube can be inflated to form a relatively rigid structure. A sheet of tarpaulin material extends across the bottom of the passenger compartment and along the lower and outer sides of the tube, and an inflatable floor cushion rests on the tarpaulin material in the passenger compartment. A seat is provided toward the rear of the passenger compartment, and a splash skirt attached to the cover extends across the passenger compartment between the side sections of the tube in front of the seat.

Abstract: Self-inflating mattress for outdoor and camping use having a body chamber which contains open cell foam for supporting the body and legs of a person resting thereon, and air chambers positioned to the sides of the body chamber for cradling the person and preventing him from rolling off the mattress. The body chamber is reduced in width in the lower back region, and the air chambers extend into that region to provide additional lower back support.

Abstract: A waterproof carrying bag having a flexible, liquid impervious body portion with an internal storage cavity and a substantially rigid neck portion having an inner surface defining an opening into the container. A closure seats on the neck portion, covering the opening. The closure has a sealing gasket which is compressed between the closure and the neck portion when the closure is seated on the neck, substantially preventing the passage of moisture between the closure and neck portion.
