Patent number: 11118455Abstract: Provided in this disclosure is a portable night vision tunnel for operating a vehicle in a simulated night environment. The night vision tunnel is formed by assembling a plurality of modules on a driving surface to provide a darkened interior in which the vehicle can be driven. Each of the modules are formed of inflatable arch components each having a light-absorptive interior surface for creating the simulated night environment for operating the vehicle. A fastener arrangement connects each of the arch components to an adjoining one to form a single module. The tunnel includes a portal formed on an able arch component at a respective module proximate to the end of the tunnel. The portal admits the vehicle into the tunnel while maintaining the simulated night environment for operating the vehicle. An air circulation system ventilates and circulates air within an interior space of the tunnel.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Inventor: Robert J. Scherba

Patent number: 5937586Abstract: An inflatable skating rink made up of a plurality of base modules positioned adjacent to one another to define a perimeter of the skating rink. Base modules are made of a flexible material which is substantially impermeable to air. The base modules can be conveniently inflated and deflated. The adjacent base modules include air portals for providing a fluid passageway between the interior of the two adjacently positioned base modules so that the base modules can be mutually inflated and deflated. The adjacent base modules may be connected together in a manner so that they may be separated from one another during disassembly of the skating rink.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1996Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Scherba Industries, Inc.Inventor: Robert J.
