Inflatable playpen for kids

Abstract

An inflatable playpen for kids includes an inflatable body, which includes a top ring, a bottom ring, and a plurality of side posts. The side posts are arranged vertically between the top ring and the bottom ring. The top ring, the bottom ring, and the side posts are inflatable flexible tubes that are connected to and in communication with each other. The top ring, the bottom ring, and the side posts each have an outer surface covered or enclosed with an outer covering fabric layer. After inflation, a sufficient strength and elasticity can be provided to achieve excellent protection for children. When not in use, the playpen can be deflated to change the inflatable body back into a flattened condition that occupies a small space so that stowing and transportation are made easy.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a children's playpen that is made up of multiple inflatable tubes that are connected to form an inflated body. After inflation, the playpen is transformed into a playspace for young children with a top ring, bottom ring, and side posts. The playpen is easy to inflate, deflate, and store, making it easy to transport and use indoors or outdoors. The outer covering fabric layer prevents kids from biting or chewing the flexible tubes, improving the playpen's lifespan and safety.

Problems solved by technology

For children or babies of young ages, they are incapable of properly controlling their limbs for activities.

For a wooden playpen, a child, when tipping or bumping the playpen, might still get hurt or injured.

In addition, the wooden playpen may need frequent disassembled and re-assembled and this is inconvenient for the parents.

Thus, the wooden playpen is often kept in a completely assembled condition and would occupy a large floor area and would also be inconvenient for moving among different locations.

For a plastic playpen, it is generally concerned about children biting the plastic material that makes the playpen, as this is unhealthy and may cause damage of the playpen.
