Patent number: 11820276Abstract: A sheet of flexible material can be deployed or stored by unfurling or furling the sheet using one or more inflatables. After the sheet is deployed to, for example, cover a load on a flatbed trailer, the inflatable can be deflated for storage. A sheet that has been removed from the load can be stored by placing an inflatable along an edge of the sheet. The inflatable is pressurized, and the sheet is furled onto the inflatable by rolling the inflatable. The inflatable is deflated and rolled up with the sheet for storage.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Farmer Innovations LLCInventors: Jason Farmer, Lance Lowell Nordby
