Abstract
Description
[0001] There are 1,120 patents available. The oldest patent found in DEPATIS dates from 1920: DE000000336860A
[0002] Other patents / utility models explicitly relate to the design of the floor, such as DE000000336860A. The technical innovations describing the floor are aimed at patent / utility model protection for floor designs for mast support, for stiffening larger boats (DE000000336860A), or for insertable floors (DE000001197779B).
[0003] There are also patents / utility models for “inflatable boats” that are specifically designed for use as toys for children DE000001748553U. Conclusion:
[0004] Inflatable boats, in various shapes and designs, are commonly used as items ranging from children's toys to rescues in distress at sea. Their common feature is that the inflatable tubes are filled with compressed air, forming a buoyancy vessel in the shape of a boat. Once deflated, the boat can be folded up, making it easy to transport while requiring little space. Description of the technical innovation
[0005] The innovation submitted for the utility model application concerns the material composition and material use for the bottom of inflatable boats that, depending on their size and intended use, have a smooth or inflatable foil bottom. Previously, this bottom was made of the same material or a material that matched the shape and color of the inflatable tube, which provides the boat with buoyancy.
[0006] The use of a transparent PVC film for the bottom of the inflatable boat is a technical innovation that expands the application areas of an inflatable boat: The use of a transparent film enables observation of the underwater space directly beneath the boat. Application example: children's inflatable boat
[0007] Previous inflatable boats offer children the opportunity to move and play ON the water.
[0008] The application of the technical innovation for which a utility model has been registered, the production of an inflatable boat with a transparent bottom, gives children a view of the underwater world and thus creates a new use, for example for nature observation or games in the water.

Claims
[1] Inflatable boat with transparent bottom The dinghy consists of an inflatable air tube that is firmly glued to the floor liner. The floor film is made of transparent material. [2] Floating toy with transparent bottom The floating toy consists of a ring-shaped or oval-shaped air tube, the support ring. To use it as a boat, a floor liner is connected to the air tube in such a way that the child can sit inside. a) The floor foil is provided with eyelets that allow ropes to be passed through for fastening. b) Alternatively, snap fasteners can be attached to the carrier ring and the film to fit each other precisely The floor film is made of transparent material.
