Definitions
- the present invention relates to a model that can be pneumatically inflated in the form of an air cushion.
- Pneumatically inflatable models are known. Such models are formed by an air bag made of, for example, two flexible plastic sheet-like films placed one on top of the other and hermetically joined, for example by means of heat-welding, along a continuous border defining the profile of the model. In addition, on at least one of said sheet-like films a figure is printed, inscribed within said continuous outline.
- Pneumatically inflatable models of this kind have valve means for pneumatic inflation which, by means of, for example, an inflator tube, allow air under pressure to be blown into said air bag, for example, through the mouth, in order to inflate and maintain pneumatically inflated said bag, in such a way as to give said model a pleasing three-dimensional aspect.
- the abovementioned models are quite flexible when deflated and are therefore inconvenient and difficult to process and handle during the industrial operations following their manufacture.
- the lack of suitable stiffness in the deflated state represents a limitation in the presentation and use of the models in the flat form (that is before they are pneumatically inflated) in comparison with conventional flat models, printed, for example, on pieces of stiff card.
- the present invention provides a model that is pneumatically inflatable in the form of an air cushion, the essential characteristic of which is the subject of Claim 1, which should be regarded as incorporated here in its entirety.
- FIG. 1 is a general reference for the model that can be pneumatically inflated in the form of an air cushion, according to the present invention.
- the model 10 comprises two laminar parts, joined in mutual superposition, or in other words comprises a pneumatically inflatable bag 11 that is flat and exhibits two sheet-like walls 11.1, made for example of a flexible plastic film, such as polyvinyl chloride, welded together, for example high frequency heat-welded, along a continuous outline 11.2 defining the profile of the model proper 11.3, and also comprises a backing board 12 of a poorly flexible or stiff material, such as card, in such a way that said two laminar parts 11, 12, joined together in superposition, are sufficiently stiff for the easy and convenient performance of the industrial processing and handling operations following the manufacture of the model itself, and have an appearance and strength that are agreeable and appropriate for said air bag 11 to be used in the deflated state in the same way as a conventional flat model.
- a pneumatically inflatable bag 11 that is flat and exhibits two sheet-like walls 11.1, made for example of a flexible plastic film, such as polyvinyl chloride, welded together, for example high frequency heat-welded, along a continuous outline 11.2
- the mutual joining of said laminar parts 11, 12 is brought about through the blanking of the perimetrical border of said superposed parts around a peripheral, for example quadrilateral, outline 13 in which is inscribed said continuous outline 11.2 of the air bag 11 defining the profile of the model 11.3.
- air valve means 14 comprising a sheet-like intermediate flap 14.1 (Fig. 5), made for example of a plastic, such as polyvinyl chloride, hermetically heat-welded to one of the walls 11.1 of said bag, and two through holes 14.2, 14.3 formed in that one of said walls 11.1 to which the flap 14.1 is heat-welded, and in said flap 14.1, respectively, and offset from each other. 14.4 indicates transverse lines where the intermediate flap 14.1 is heat-welded to one wall 11.1 of the air bag 11.
- a sheet-like intermediate flap 14.1 (Fig. 5)
- a plastic such as polyvinyl chloride
- the through hole 14.2 in the wall 11.1 is made through the backing board 12 during the blanking operation.
- 12.1 indicates the corresponding through hole in the backing board 12.
- the model according to the invention comes to the user in the form of a conventional flat model of sufficient stiffness, thanks to its structure in two laminar parts, one of them a backing board, while allowing the possibility of being pneumatically inflated in the form of an air cushion, in its air bag part, for greater play appeal.
