摘要 | The inflatable two-chambered rectangular ottoman with attached shoulder strap and pocket is an inflatable bladder constructed from PVC material with heat sealing for assembly. The two chambers allow for maximum flexibility in firmness of support and height either as a footrest with one chamber inflated or as an ottoman with three more basic levels of support dependent upon which side the ottoman rests on the floor. Additional support is provided in the ottoman by additional ribbing on each side also made from PVC material. The invention has a velour surface on five sides. The sixth side is two-layered non-velour PVC material with an opening on one of the shorter sides to form a pocket. Attached to the inner layer of the non-velour PVC side are the two ends of the attached adjustable carrying strap. The strap can be easily placed inside the pocket when in use on the floor. | ||||||

说明书全文 | This invention would likely be categorized under Class 297 and Subclass 462 for Ottomans. This form of ottoman or footrest that contains the same qualities or claims made below has not been located by the inventor up to this time. Specifically, a lightweight ottoman that could be easily transported and that provides a variety of levels of support was what was sought after. In In Essentially the invention is an inflatable bladder constructed from PVC material with heat sealing for assembly. The invention is distinguishable in its construction with two separate chambers to form a rectangular box shape with a velour surface on five sides. The sixth side is two-layered non-velour PVC material with an opening on one of the shorter sides to form a pocket. Attached to the inner layer of the non-velour PVC side are the two ends of the attached adjustable carrying strap. The strap can be easily placed inside the pocket when in use on the floor. On the side where the strap is held upright, the two valves are located, with one for each horizontal chamber. The two chambers allow for maximum flexibility in firmness of support and height either as a footrest with one chamber inflated or as an ottoman with three more basiclevels of support dependent upon which side the ottoman rests on the floor. Additional support is provided in the ottoman by the additional ribbing on each side also made from PVC material. On the shorter sides, there is one rib of support connected within each chamber. On the two largest flat sides, there are a total of eight ribs of support, with two running almost the length of the ottoman and six running perpendicularly within the other two. These ribs are connected within the invention, but appear separately from the exterior view. |
