Abstract: An inflating member coupling assembly includes a number of inflating members each having one or more orifices, and a number of strings each having a retaining device attached to a free end portion for engaging with the orifices of the inflating members and for coupling the retaining devices of the strings to the inflating members easily and quickly without additional tools or fasteners. It is preferable that the retaining devices of the strings each include an opening and a spring-biased latch openably engaged in the opening for detachably coupling the retaining devices of the strings to the inflating members respectively.

Abstract: An inflating member coupling apparatus includes a number of inflating members each having an air valve, and a number of coupling devices each having a base member which includes one or more apertures for engaging with the air valves of the inflating members and for coupling the coupling devices to the inflating members easily and quickly without additional tools or fasteners. The coupling device includes one or more flaps extended from the base member and having the apertures formed in the flaps, and a slit communicating with the aperture for allowing the aperture of the base member to be selectively opened and for allowing the air valve to be detachably engaged into the aperture of the base member.
