DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
Referring now to figure FIG. 1 it depicts a typical Prior Art fencing system 110 which is made up of regular 2400 mm (94.5 in.) panels of steel fencing which in itself is a user hazard that rigidly wraps around the inflatable enclosure 100 and also the field of play 120 which needs special vehicular requirements to take such fencing on site where it will sit on the ground using a series of anchors and brackets.
Now referring to FIG. 2 it shows a typical amusement enclosure 100 with the portable inflatable fencing 130 invention wrapped around a typical enclosure and the field of play 120.
Now referring to FIG. 3. it shows the inflatable fencing 130 by itself. The elevated view gives good view of the unique and novel areas of the invention and one of which is the one piece construction using a plurality of intertwined inflatable vinyl rails and vertical stiles and a number of lightweight infill panels 180 and the air inlet 140 that receives the air from the enclosure and the vinyl adjustable support extensions 150 that hold the fence upright and the gateway 170 which allows easy access and use by the attendant while operating the amusement and finally showing the direct blower inlet 160 that can be used in times of cleaning or drying out without the use of the inflatable enclosure.
Now referring to FIG. 4 this shows a close-up cross-section of the attachments that make the inflatable fence usable by way of an adjustable vinyl extension tube 140 that has a combination of 2 full radial zippers 180, which allows for different adjustment lengths and the hook and loop 190 which connects and seals the zipper to stop any minor air loss from the enclosure while the vinyl adjustable support extensions 150 that support the fence upright comprises of a series of adjustable hook and loop flaps 200 that connect to the enclosure and allow it to be retrofitted to the most common sizes of inflatable games.
Now referring to FIG. 5 it shows the side view from the right hand side wall 210 where the Hook and Loop connector flaps 220 gives support to the inflatable fence. Both items are connected using a plurality of intertwined vinyl flaps and a hook and loop method of attachment.
Now referring to FIG. 6 it shows the right hand side wall 210 and the connection as described in FIG. 5 that is needed to allow the fencing 130 and the enclosure 100 to join and stay supportive. As shown in 220 the intertwined flap is now open whereas in FIG. 5 it was shown closed. This flap system then connects to the extension panels 150 from the fence and a series of hook and loop 200 anchors it securely.
Now referring to FIG. 7 it shows the left hand side 250 of the enclosure as shown in FIG. 8 that has the connection 220 the same as FIG. 6 however it also has the air connector 240 which allows the air to be conveyed from the enclosure to the fence 130. This close-up shows the flap 230 that closes up over and after the connector 240 has been pushed inside the enclosure when the fence is not in use to seal off the connection.
Now referring to FIG. 8 it shows the left hand side wall with the location of the fence support connector 220 and also the air joiner flap 260 which sits over the connector 240.
Now referring to FIG. 9 it shows the inflatable fence 130 in position around the inflatable enclosure 100 and the field of play and the cross section of the left hand side giving more detail on the fence support connector 230 and the air connector 240 and the closing door flap 260.
Now referring to FIG. 10 this is the close up of the actual air connection and the plurality of intertwined vinyl and flaps that gives this connection and invention its workable finish. The fence 130 has an extension inflatable tube 140 with 2 full radial zippers 180 that can adjust to attach to the outlet tube 240 on the enclosure wall 250 and once zippered together a sealing hook and loop flap 190 seals it completely while the vinyl adjustable support extensions flap 150 connects to the enclosure using an intertwined pair of flaps 230 and that to is adjustable by adjusting to the second flap 200 to fit the standard sizes of inflatable amusements.
