Abstract:
1. A system for the construction of life size play structures comprises a multiplicity of inflatable blocks, wherein each block further comprises: (a) an identical top polygonal surface and bottom polygonal surface, each surface comprising a multiplicity of surface seams at the periphery of the surface and each surface seam comprising two ends; (b) a multiplicity of side panels, each joined at the top surface seam and at the corresponding bottom surface seam, each side panel affixed to an adjacent side panel by means of a side panel seam; (c) A multiplicity of strap connectors and a multiplicity of flap connectors, each having a centerline, whereby two or more connectors are affixed in proximity to each seam of the top surface, and whereby two or more connectors are affixed in proximity to each seam of the bottom surface, whereby said strap connectors and flap connectors are alternated about the seams on each surface, and whereby an end connector has a center line which is located at a distance of approximately DC from the nearest seam end, where DC is defined by where l is the length of the seam, and n is the number of connectors on the seam, and wherein each connector on each surface seam has a center line located at a distance of 2*DC from the nearest other connector on the same surface seam, so that each strap connector affixes to a slit in a corresponding flap connector on another block.
