052200130 | Confined tubular element exerts force | 8 |
20080295417 | Inflatable beam truss and structure - A segmented inflatable beam truss includes at least first, second and third separate inflatable beams mounted or mountable to one another and having, respectively, first, second and third lengths and a substantially constant diameter among all of the three beams. Each beam of the three separate beams includes an outer flexible substantially non-resilient sleeve along the entire length of the beam and an inner inflatable bladder extending substantially entirely along and in the entire length of the sleeve. | 12-04-2008 |
20090056233 | Inflatable Passageway Apparatus and Method for Use - The present invention is an apparatus and method for providing a unitary passageway for protection from inclement weather and the elements for the protection of workers and property particularly during moving. The unitary passageway of the invention extends from inside a cargo hold of a vehicle, under a canopy, and through an inflatable passageway. In an embodiment of the invention, multiple inflatable tunnels are utilized and their angle with respect to one another may be plus or minus 135 degrees. | 03-05-2009 |
20110252716 | PNEUMATIC SUPPORT - A pneumatic support comprises a long hollow body, tapering towards the ends and two pressure/tension elements. The hollow body is embodied by a sleeve of gas-tight, flexible, non-stretch material. Said sleeve can be formed from two layers, an external non-stretch, flexible sleeve and an inner gas-tight elastic bladder. The hollow body can be pressurised with compressed gas by means of a valve. The both pressure/tension elements lie along diametrically opposed surface lines of the hollow body on the same and are partly or completely frictionally connected to the hollow body along said surface lines. The ends of the pressure/tension elements are frictionally connected to each other. | 10-20-2011 |
20110258940 | Compressed Fluid Building Structures - The compressive strength of a fluid-pressurized structure is combined with the tensile strength of interior members to maintain the geometric shape of a structure used to provide support with very low mass. These compressed fluid building structures can be combined with other traditional construction materials in creating columns, beams and other structural support elements. | 10-27-2011 |
20130305619 | AIRBEAM - An airbeam includes at least a pair of inflatable beams each having an inner sleeve, middle sleeve and outer cover. Each sleeve is stitched to form flat side seams. The sleeves are inverted so that each flat side seam is disposed cantilevered inwardly on the inside of the sleeve. A linear common seam bisects the stitched side edges of the outer cover to form a pair of outer sleeves. One middle sleeve is nested within each outer sleeve. One inner sleeve is nested within each middle sleeve. One inner tube is nested in each inner sleeve. The nesting is arranged so that the side seams of the inner and middle sleeves are adjacent one another or overlap one another along, their entire length and so that the side seams of the outer cover are adjacent or overlap the side seams of the middle sleeve. | 11-21-2013 |
052200140 | For sealing a closure panel | 3 |
20110094164 | Silo closure - In order to improve a retentions force of a silo closure, patterns with protrusions and recesses are proposed at least on insides of a support profile in particular portions, preferably also on outsides of a support hose and/or at least on one of the outsides of a cover foil. | 04-28-2011 |
20120060427 | INFLATABLE ATTIC STAIRWAY INSULATION APPLIANCE - An inflatable insulator covers an associated attic access hatch to prevent a transfer of heat from a first indoor environment maintaining temperature control and a second indoor environment not maintaining temperature control. The insulator includes at least one air chamber adapted to contain a volume of stationary air. Impermeable layers define the air chamber. Sidewalls extending from a generally planar top wall to remove the impermeable layers from a direct contact with the access hatch. | 03-15-2012 |
20130326965 | LIGHT TIGHT ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF PROVIDING A LIGHT TIGHT WORK CHAMBER - An enclosure assembly includes a housing and a platform disposed within the housing. The platform is rotatably moveable about a vertical axis. A partition is attached to and moveable with the platform, and includes a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The first lateral edge and the second lateral edge of the partition are spaced from an exterior wall of the housing to define a gap therebetween. A sealing mechanism is moveable between a sealing position and an open position. The sealing mechanism is moveable into the sealing position to seal the gap between the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge and prevent light from passing through the gap. The sealing mechanism is moveable into the open position to vacate the gap and allow rotational movement of the platform and the partition about the vertical axis relative to the exterior wall of the housing. | 12-12-2013 |
