Abstract
Abstract A double-walled inflatable vessel for liquids comprises a bottom (10) and a jacket (20) of sheets (12, 14; 22, 24) which are connected together locally by seams (18, 26, 28), especially weld seams. The jacket (20) is formed by two jacket sheets (22, 24) and comprises seams (26, 28) which extend from the bottom upwardly over at least half the height of the jacket. The outer of the two jacket foils (22, 24) has holes which are arranged above each other and which are each surrounded by an end (32, 34) of a hose-like handle (30) and connected together by the handle. The jacket (20) and handle (30) are inflatable via a common valve (36).
Description
~0~9~
lOA-66 484 Double-walled inflatable vessel for li~uids The invention relates to a double-walled inflatable ves~el for liquids comprising a bottom and a ~acket of sheets which are locallY connected together by seams. in particular weld seam6.
Known vessels of this type. which are used for example a3 paddling pools for children, have a jacket comprising a plurality of annular beads which lie above each other and which are partially or completely separated from each other by horizontal annularly self-contained adhesive or weld seams and thus can either be inflated jointly or individually. Adapted to their intended purpose, such ves~els have a height small compared with their diameter and are adequately stable to enable them to be filled up to about half their height with water.
For smaller vessels which are however high compared with their diameter and can be employed as drinking vessels, and are to afford safe handling even in a fi~ed state, the known arrangements of superimposed annular beads are not suitable because they are too unstable.
The invention is therefore based on the problem of designing a double-walled inflatable vessel for liquids in ~uch a manner that even with a large height compared with the dimensions of its bottom is stable enough in the inflated state to be substantially filled and used as drinking vessel.
~ a ~
The problem is solved according to the invention proceeding from a vessel of the type described at the beginning in that - the jacket is formed by two jacket sheets and has seams which extend from the bottom to the top over at least half the height of the ~acket, - the outer of the two jacket sheets has two holes which are dispo~ed above each other and which are each surrounded by an end of a hose-like handle and are connected together by the handle, and - the jacket and handle are inflatable via a common valve.
Advantageous further developments of the invention will be apparent from the subsidiary claims.
An example of embodiment of the invention will be explained hereinafter in further detail with the aid of schematic drawings, wherein:
ig. 1 shows a side view of a vessel according to the invention in the inflated state and Fig. 2 is the plan view corresponding to Fig. 1.
The vessel illustrated has the form of a beer mug and a capacity of for example 0.25 or 0.5 litres. The bottom 10 of the vessel consists of a lower bottom foil or sheet 12, an upper bottom foil or ~heet 14 and a stiff bottom plate 16 which is arranged between ~aid sheets and which for example is formed by a usual circular beer mug mat of cardboard. The bottom sheets 12 and 14 are tran~parent 80 that the usual bilateral advertisament printed on the beer mug mat forming the bottom plate 16 remains visible. The two bottom sheets 12 and 14 are welded to each other by a bottom seam 18 round the bottom plate 16 and to a jacket 20.
The jacket 20 consists of an external jacket sheet 22 and an internal jacket sheet 24 which consist of a single sheet plece bent through 180 at the upper edge of the jacket and are connected to each other by welded vertical seams 26 and a circular seam 28. Pairs of vertical seams 26 are connected together at a small distance above the bottom 10 by semicircular seam portions 29 to form U-shaped seam arrays and terminate at a likewise small distance beneath the upper edge of the vessel. The length of each individual U-shaped seam array i8 approximately 90 % of the total height of the jacket 20. The circular seam 28 encloses an area free from vertical seams 26. In the example illustrated 12 vertical seams 26 are provided, some of which open into the circular seam 28.
The jacket 20 need not have the cylindrical form illustrated but can be conical or bulged. In such a configuration as well the jacket 20 is provided with seams which extend from the bottom to the top over the major part of the height of the jacket. Like the seams 26 illustrated, the seams here may represent a generatrix in the geometrical sense, i.e. lie in a respective axial plane. However, spiral seams are for example also possible as long as their inclination or pitch is large enough for their stiffening action to corre~pond at least approximately to that of the seams 26 illustrated and each extending along a generatrix.
Secured to the jacket 20 is a handle which consists of a hose-like sheet and with its upper end 32 and its lower end 34 is welded to the outer jacket sheet 22 round a hole in the latter.
For joint inflation of the jacket 20 and the handle 30 a commercially usual valve 36 is welded into the outer jacket ~ 9 ~
sheet 22 between the bottom 10 and the lower end 34 of the handle 30.

Pairs of vertical seams 26 are connected together at a small distance above the bottom 10 by semicircular seam portions 29 to form U-shaped seam arrays and terminate at a likewise small distance beneath the upper edge of the vessel. The length of each individual U-shaped seam array i8 approximately 90 % of the total height of the jacket 20. The circular seam 28 encloses an area free from vertical seams 26. In the example illustrated 12 vertical seams 26 are provided, some of which open into the circular seam 28.
The jacket 20 need not have the cylindrical form illustrated but can be conical or bulged. In such a configuration as well the jacket 20 is provided with seams which extend from the bottom to the top over the major part of the height of the jacket.

Secured to the jacket 20 is a handle which consists of a hose-like sheet and with its upper end 32 and its lower end 34 is welded to the outer jacket sheet 22 round a hole in the latter.
For joint inflation of the jacket 20 and the handle 30 a commercially usual valve 36 is welded into the outer jacket ~ 9 ~
sheet 22 between the bottom 10 and the lower end 34 of the handle 30.
