AI Technical Summary
Conventional boats made of rubber or resin require manual or electric pumps for inflation, which can be strenuous for the elderly and children, and are unreliable during power outages.
A hollow body with a lid and bellows part is attached to the boat storage section, allowing quick inflation and deflation without manual or electric pumps, using a recess to eliminate gaps and facilitate compact storage.
The boat achieves rapid buoyancy without manual or electric pumps and efficient folding, ensuring ease of use for all ages and reliability during emergencies.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a boat that obtains buoyancy by mounting a hollow body in a boat storage section. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventional boats (made of rubber or resin) are hand-pushed or foot-operated, and buoyancy is achieved by blowing air into them using an electric compression pump. Patent Document 1 also discloses an invention that uses a pressurized gas-filled mini-cylinder to fill an airtight bag (see Patent Document 1), and an invention that reduces the amount of air blown in by using a shape-memory material (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 01-193499 [Patent Document 2] Public Practical Application Heisei 4-65567 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Conventional boats (made of rubber or resin) had the following problems: (i) Inflating a boat (made of rubber or resin) using a hand-operated or foot-operated compression pump takes time and requires a certain amount of physical strength, which is a great burden for the elderly and children. (b) Also, if an electric compressor pump is used, it cannot be used if the power is lost during a disaster or other event. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The hollow body is stretched and the lid is put on to fill it with air and seal it. This hollow body is attached to the boat storage part and the opening and closing part is closed. A recess is made in the top lid of the hollow body so that it does not protrude from the top end surface of the container. By providing the recess, gaps between adjacent hollow bodies are eliminated. This boat has the above features. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] This boat gains buoyancy by quickly attaching a hollow body to the boat storage section without using a manual, foot-operated, or electric pump. Furthermore, the hollow body can be easily deflated after use, shortening the time it takes to fold the boat. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] This is a hollow body of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a view of the hollow body of the present invention stretched out. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a view showing the hollow body of the present invention mounted on a boat. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a boat equipped with a hollow body according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (i) A boat having an elliptical (or circular or polygonal) bottom (8) (made of rubber, resin, etc.) and a storage section (7) for storing a hollow body (1) on the periphery thereof. (b) The storage section is provided with an opening and closing section (such as a zipper) for inserting and removing the hollow body. (c) The hollow body has a lid and a bellows part (4) on the side, which allows it to be deflated after use and stored compactly. (d) The lid of the hollow body has a recess on the upper end surface (3) of the hollow body. (e) The hollow body is preferably cylindrical, but may also be a polygonal prism such as an octagonal prism. When using the present invention, the lid of the evacuated hollow body is removed, the hollow body is stretched, and the lid is closed to seal the air. The opening and closing part of the boat storage section is opened and the stretched, air-sealed hollow body is packed into the boat. When the storage section is full, the opening and closing part is closed and the boat is used. After use, the opening and closing part of the storage section is opened and the hollow body is removed. The lid is removed from the hollow body, evacuated, and the lid is closed again for compact storage. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims
[Claim 1] This hollow body-mounted boat is characterized in that it has a storage section for storing a hollow body on the peripheral edge of the bottom of the boat, the storage section has an opening and closing section for putting the hollow body in and out, and the hollow body has a lid and bellows on the side.
