Abstract
A flexible inner multi air tube construction within a flexible outertube. For example, in a caravan awning, inner tubes B inflatable at valve D are enclosed within outer tubes A; a single tube B may be used and turn corners as at G or turn back on itself as at C, through-members F serving to retain the inner tubes in place. <IMAGE>
Description
DESCRIPTION
A flexible inner multi air tube construction within a flexible outer tube offering the benefits of strength, rigidity and lightness with the ability to be folded.
The strength and rigidity are created when the flexible inner air tubes are inflated within the outer flexible tube (Figure 1 A & B).
The inner flexible air tubes being small in diameter allow you to run them through corners and curves as required (Figures 2B & 3B).
For example if it was being applied to making a framework for caravan awnings (Figure 4) it would be constucted as follows.
The awning would have the standard edge bead fitting to the caravan (4H) but the framework for supporting the awning would be the air tube construction as follows (4A) the outer tube.
2D 4B The inner tubes 4C Clamp plate for sealing the end of tube runs as a design
for this structure can be done in one continous tube
length being laid through the outer tube in double.
4D Vale for inflation which can be placed anywhere in tube
run.
4E Cap or Socket on end of outer tube run for both ground
and caravan mounting.
4F Fixing pin for retaining cap or socket onto the tubes.
4G Moulded hose or tube for shaping inner tube runs on sharp
bends if required.
4.2 Showing T runs in application from (Figure 2).
4.3 Showing a centre separation in application from
(Figure 3).
4.5 Showing cap or socket in application from (Figure 5).
(Figure 5) shows a cross section view of the tube
construction into the ground mounting and caravan
mounting cup or socket with also the fixing pin.
3D
The strength and rigidty can be varied by simply increasing or decreasing both the size and number of the inner air tubes and by the size of the outer tube and also by the amount of air pressure within the inner air tubes.
