Definitions

  • This invention relates to an inflatable storage chamber.
  • Valuable items such as vintage motor vehicles and antiques will deteriorate if not stored in dry, non humid conditions. Even if for example a vintage car is stored in a garage the storage conditions are far from perfect. The vehicle will collect dust and grit but even more important is the damage caused by still air and condensation resulting in rusting bodywork and chassis. The interior trim will collect moisture from the still air and will quickly deteriorate. It is known to drape a cover such as a sheet over a car in an attempt to prevent deterioration. However, if a cover remains in contact with the paint work for a substantial length of time then adhesion to the car will tend to occur and on removing the cover some of the paint will become detached from the car.
  • the present invention has been made from a consideration of these problems.
  • an inflatable storage chamber defined by a flexible membrane comprising a means for access to the chamber and means for inflating the chamber.
  • the membrane comprises a plastics sheet which may form a chamber by connecting the edges of the sheet via a clasp fastener.
  • the membrane comprises a cover portion and a base portion which may form a chamber by connecting adjacent edges of the cover portion and base portion via a clasp fastener. Three or more adjacent edges of the cover portion and base portion may be connected.
  • the chamber is inflated by a fan motor and safety release valves or vents may be provided in the membrane to prevent over inflation. Any suitable gas or combination of gases may be used such as air, helium or nitrogen. The gas is preferably dried and filtered prior to or upon entering the chamber.
  • a dehumidifier may be provided in or connected to the chamber.
  • the fan motor may be operated via any suitable power source such as battery, mains or solar power.
  • the two halves 12, 14 of a bow tie shaped plastics sheet 10 may be connected together via a clasp fastener 16 the slide of which is movable between positions 18, 20.
  • the sheet 10 forms a chamber 25.
  • the base 11 of the chamber 25 may optionally be defined by rigid poles 21.
  • a fan motor 27 is used to draw gas into and thereby inflate the chamber 25 such that only the base of the item or in the case of a motor vehicle the wheels are in contact with the sheet 10.
  • a filter 28 and a dehydrating agent 29 such as silica gel provided at the entrance 30 to the chamber 25. These prevent contamination of the environment and maintains dry conditions within the chamber 25.
  • a dehumidifier may be used to maintain dry conditions in addition to, or as an alternative to this.
  • Inert gases such as helium or nitrogen are also suitable.
  • Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention which is similar to the first embodiment and like reference numerals are used to represent like features.
  • the clasp fastener 16 is a plastic zip which extends around three sides of the chamber, adjacent the base.
  • the chamber may be designed to approximate the shape of a motor vehicle, as illustrated.
  • the top cover may be 500s gauge clear plastic and the base sheet may be 1000s gauge clear plastic.
  • the present invention therefore provides an inflatable chamber which can store an item in a suitable environment whilst only the base of the item is in contact with the chamber and the item can be viewed from outside the chamber.
  • the size of the chamber may be adapted to suit the item to be stored.
  • Supplementary rigid supports may be attached to the sheet to ensure that once inflated the chamber has a set configuration.
  • Any item may be stored within the chamber such as motor vehicles, machinery, furniture especially vintage cars and antiques.
