Abstract:
An internal tensioning structure for use in an inflatable product fulfills the basic function of maintaining two adjacent inflatable surfaces in a desired geometric arrangement when the inflatable product is pressurized. The tensioning structure is formed by connecting a pair of plastic sheets to spaced-apart strands, such as strings or wires. When pulled taut, the strands provide a high tensile strength. At the same time, the plastic sheets facilitate a strong, long-lasting weld between the tensioning structure and the inflatable product.

Claim (Index 17):
An inflatable product comprising:\n a first sheet; a second sheet disposed opposite the first sheet to define an inflatable chamber, the first and second sheets spaced apart when the inflatable chamber is inflated to define a gap; a tensioning structure spanning the gap between the first sheet and the second sheet, the tensioning structure comprising:\n a plurality of strands spaced apart and arranged substantially parallel to one another, each of the plurality of strands having a first terminal end positioned adjacent to the first sheet, a second terminal end positioned adjacent to the second sheet, and an axial extent between the first and second terminal ends that is substantially perpendicular to the first and second sheets; \n a first weld sheet; and \n a second weld sheet disposed opposite the first weld sheet and affixed to the first weld sheet with the plurality of strands captured between the first and second weld sheets, the first and second weld sheets having full surface-area contact in spaces between the plurality of strands; and \n a valve in communication with the inflatable chamber to facilitate inflation and deflation of the inflatable product.
