(3) FIG. 3 is a disassembled view of an embodiment of the presently described inflatable seat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(4) Several embodiments of Applicant's invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. Unless otherwise noted, like elements will be identified by identical numbers throughout all figures. The invention illustratively disclosed herein suitably may be practiced in the absence of any element which is not specifically disclosed herein.

(5) The technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model is clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model, and it is clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field under the precondition of not making creative labor are the scope of the protection of the utility model.

(6) FIG. 1. depicts an embodiment of the presently described inflatable seat. As shown in FIG. 1, inflatable seat includes tooth tube sleeve 1; PVC plastic panel 2 and decorative canvas 9. FIG. 2 provides a more detailed view of the components of the presently described inflatable seat. As shown in FIG. 2, inflatable seat comprises tooth tube sleeves 1 on opposite ends of inflatable seat 100. Also on opposite ends of inflatable seat 100 are PVC plastic panel 2, fixed wooden boards with decorative canvas covering 4, with connecting screws 3 that serve to connect fixed wooden boards 4 to other interior components of inflatable seat 100. Also interior to fixed wooden boards 4 at each end of inflatable chair 100 are internal ring connectors 5 that connect fixed wooden planks 4 to internal cloth tube 8 inside of which inflatable airbag 7 sits. Tube sleeves 6 at either end of internal cloth tube 8 engage corresponding toothed tube sleeve 1 to secure the PVC plastic panel 2 at each end of inflatable seat 100 to corresponding fixed wooden boards 4.

(7) FIG. 3 provides a disassembled view of the components 1-9 of inflatable seat 100 while FIG. 2 provides an assembled view of the various components 1-9 of inflatable seat 100. Ultimately, when assembled, decorative canvas covering 9 provides the inflatable seat cover that is visible to the user, while inflatable airbag 7 and internal cloth tube 8 reside within decorative canvas covering 9.

(8) The presently described embodiment of the inflatable seat comprise a toothed tube sleeve 1, PVC plastic panel 2, connection screws 3, decorative canvas fixed plank 4, internal connection cloth cylinder fixed plank 5, with tube sleeves 6 to engage corresponding toothed tube sleeves 1 to secure PVC plastic panel 2 to decorative canvas fixed plank 4; inflatable airbag 7, internal cloth tube 8 in which inflatable airbag 7 sits, and decorative canvas 9 in which inflatable airbag 7 and internal cloth tube 8 sit. Internal ring connectors 5 at opposite ends of internal cloth tube 8 and inflatable airbag 7 serve to connect decorative canvas fixed plank 4 and in turn PVC plastic panel 2 at opposite ends of internal cloth tube 8. The entire assembly of components 1-8 slide into decorative canvas 9, which gives inflatable seat 100 a decorative appearance and durable outer material.

(9) Decorative canvas fixed plank 4 and internal ring connector 5 have open grooves, used to install internal cloth tube 8 and decorative canvas 9. Connection screws 3 secure decorative canvas fixed plank 4 to internal ring connector 5 and outer threaded tube sleeve 1 engages and inner threaded tube sleeve 6 to secure PVC plastic panel 2 to decorative canvas fixed plank 4. In one embodiment, internal ring connector 5 includes six threaded screw holes to receive six connecting screws 3. PVC plastic panel 2, decorative canvas fixed plank 4 and internal connection ring 5 have center openings to receive outer threaded tube sleeve 1 through the center hole, with outer threaded tube sleeve 1 engaged by a corresponding inner threaded tube sleeve 6.

(10) In operation, inflatable airbag 7 is inflated to support and occupy internal cloth tube 8, which in turn expands to ends to internal connector ring 5, so that the two sides of the internal cloth tube 8 and connector ring 5 and associated decorative canvas fixed plank 4 form a light box. Decorative canvas fixed plank 4 and internal connector ring 5 all can have grooves, used to securely install internal cloth tube 8 and decorative canvas 9 there around. In this manner, inflatable airbag 7 is secured within the housing formed by canvas fixed planks 4, internal ring connectors 5 and internal cloth tube 8 to prevent unwanted lateral movement of inflatable airbag 7.
