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 floating lounge comprising an outer, buoyant member surrounding a support member in the form of a panel of material extending forward from the rear of the lounge. The support member wraps around the front end of the lounge and extends back toward the rear of the lounge. Connectors provided on the longitudinal edges of the support member allow the forward-extending portion of the support member to be secured to the rearward-extending portion to form a sling depending between the front and rear sides of the lounge, for supporting the user, and whereby the user may choose among several possible shapes for the support member by appropriately mating the sets of connectors.

Abstract: A continuous-air-inflatable display includes an air blower to cause the air-permeable display body to rise from a container and then remain in its expanded state while air flows into the body. After the airflow is terminated, the body gradually collapses back into the container as the air escapes from the body. A motor-retracted cord attached to the display body assists in causing the display body to fall back into the container as the air in the body gradually escapes.

Abstract: An aquatic toy has a hollow body and a funnel or cone-shaped interior, with a large opening at one end and a small aperture at the other end of the body. When the large opening of the toy is thrust forward in water, the water is forced into the funnel-shaped interior and out of the small aperture, creating a stream or spray of water ejected from the toy. The direction of the spray of water from the small aperture may be chosen by appropriately selecting the shape of the body and the location of the small aperture.

Abstract: An adjustable and removable canopy may be affixed to a chair, lounge, recliner, or the like. The canopy comprises two flexible, aligned rods having a fabric panel extending between them. The rods attached to the lounge or chair so as to form an arc across and over the user of the lounge or chair. Adjustment straps extend from the rods to the lounge or chair. A plurality of connectors located on the adjustment straps allow the shortening or lengthening of the straps so that the position of the canopy relative to the user may be selectively adjusted.

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: 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: A stuffed toy having spiral-shaped, form-retaining appendages. The appendages have spiral-shaped outer covers made out of a compliant material which are secured together at longitudinal seams extending along the length of the appendages. Fill material is stuffed inside the appendages formed by the covers. As a result, tapered spiral-shaped appendages are fabricated which return to their original shape after being manually deformed without the necessity of using elastic bands, metal devices, or resiliant material.
