1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to an inflatable toy, more particularly to an inflatable toy assembly having reinforced strength.
2. Description of the Related Art
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an inflatable toy assembly that can be stably operated and that has superior strength.
According to the present invention, an inflatable toy assembly comprises:
an inflatable body having a ride base portion adapted to be seated by a player; and
a non-stretchable and flexible reinforcing bag for receiving fittingly the ride base portion of the inflatable body.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the disclosure.
Referring to
In this embodiment, the inflatable body 2 is horse-shaped, and has a head portion 22, a ride base portion 20 adapted to be seated by a player, and a neck portion 21 interconnecting the head portion 22 and the ride base portion 20, and formed with a halter 211. The inflatable body 2 is made of a flexible and stretchable material, such as PVC.
In this embodiment, the reinforcing bag 3 is made of a composite material composed of polyester and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and receives fittingly the ride base portion 20 of the inflatable body 2.
In actual operation, due to the non-stretchable character of the reinforcing bag 3, 3′, the ride base portion 20 of the inflatable body 2 is confined in the reinforcing bag 3, 3′ such that excessive deformation of the ride base portion 20 of the inflatable body 2 can be avoided, thereby resulting in superior stability. On the other hand, due to the presence of relatively small deformation of the ride base portion 10, almost all the restoration force corresponding to the weight of the player during operation acts on upward movement of the player, thereby obtaining a superior amusement effect. Furthermore, since the reinforcing bag 3, 3′ has superior strength, unwanted rupture and air leakage of the ride base portion 20 can be minimized, thereby prolonging the service life of the inflatable toy assembly of this invention.
While the present invention has been described in connection with what are considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
