Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 4 show a tube structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figures 5 and 6 show a tube structure according to another embodiment of the present invention, respectively.

First, looking at the tube according to an embodiment through Figures 1 to 4, to form a ring shape with an opening 13 formed in the center, one side is provided with an air inlet 10 for the injection and discharge of air The tube body has a space portion 14 in which air is filled by the upper surface portion 11 and the lower surface portion 12 made of a thin PVC film of a thin film connected to each other by the sealing portion 16 at the mutual interruption. ) To form a normal appearance.

On the other hand, according to the present invention by increasing the thickness (D) of the film of the upper surface portion 11, as can be seen through the partial cross-sectional view of Figure 3, a relatively thicker structure than the thickness (d) of the film of the lower surface portion 12 It is to achieve.

It is preferable that the thickness D of the upper surface film is 1.1 times or more or 10 times less than the thickness d of the lower surface film.

This is because, if less than 1.1 times the role as a reinforcing part is difficult, if more than 10 times, there is a difficulty in manufacturing.

For example, based on 0.25 mm, which is a film standard of a conventional tube, the thickness D of the upper surface part 11 film is preferably 0.27 mm or more and 2 mm or less.

Figure 4 is an application to increase the thickness of the upper surface portion (11) of the film is a constant thickness of the additional reinforcement layer 15 to form a two-layered structure to achieve the effect of increasing the overall thickness (D). .

In addition, the upper portion 11 itself or the added reinforcing layer 15 to include a nano-silver component exhibiting antibacterial and deodorizing function, or to be made of a non-toxic PVC material containing trimethylpropanol (TMP) plasticizer in general PVC. desirable.

In the above, nano silver is preferably contained in the range of 3 to 20% by weight based on 100% by weight of PVC in the tube manufacturing process.

In addition, the non-toxic PVC is preferably contained in 10 to 30% by weight based on 100% by weight of PVC.

The effect of the use of the present invention tube forming the upper surface portion 11 reinforcement structure according to the thickness reinforcement will be described.

When the tube of the present invention is used in a beach or an outdoor swimming pool, the lower surface part 12 is in contact with the water surface, and the upper surface part 11 is exposed to the outside.

At this time, since the upper surface portion 11 of the tube of the present invention has an increased thickness (D), even if it is exposed to the outside for a long time, adverse effects by ultraviolet rays or direct sunlight can be prevented.

In addition, it can be seen that the upper surface portion 11 or the reinforcement portion 15 which is in direct contact with the body can secure the safety of infant use by suppressing the generation of bacteria due to the antimicrobial function of the nanosilver component.

In addition, it exhibits the effect of improving the product reliability by the non-toxic PVC component.

Therefore, the tube of the present invention imparts a reinforcing function of the upper surface portion 11 from ultraviolet rays or external shocks, thereby preventing the occurrence of a safety accident due to leakage of air filled in the internal space portion 14. do.

On the other hand, Figure 5 and Figure 6 shows a tube structure according to another embodiment of the present invention.

That is, as shown, it can be seen that the reinforcing layer 15 ′ having a thickness reinforced on the upper surface of the tube forms a topping shape of a donut.

In particular, since the reinforcement layer 15 ′ is formed along the inner surface surrounding the opening 13 inserted into the user's body, the reinforcement layer 15 ′ can compensate for the weakening of strength due to frequent contact with the body.

The reinforcement layer 15 ′ may be formed integrally with the upper surface portion 11 to form only a thickness D ′ partially, but a separate reinforcement layer 15 ′ is formed on the upper surface portion 11. It may also be a layered structure.

Tube according to another embodiment of the present invention to achieve such a structure is also to ensure the safety of the water accident occurs because the reinforcement layer (15 ') can prevent the risk of damage due to frequent contact with the body.

Therefore, it can be seen that the tube according to another embodiment can achieve a user's interest and prevent breakage at the same time by forming a topping shape reminiscent of actual donuts.

Meanwhile, air may be introduced into the reinforcing layers 15 and 15 'while the air is injected from the air inlet 10 formed in the tube body, and the air inlet 10' may be configured to be separately installed in the reinforcing layer 15 '. have. In this case, even when the reinforcing layer is damaged, the tube body is maintained as it can provide a double safe tube.

That is, FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a reinforcement layer 15 'structure according to this application example. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. It can be seen that it is possible to form a separate separate air layer (S).

Accordingly, even if a breakage of the reinforcing layer 15 'occurs, the tube body is not affected, so that the user can enjoy safer play.

In addition, although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious that the reinforced tube structure of the present invention may be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art.

For example, in the above description, the nano-silver or non-toxic PVC component is included only in the tube of one embodiment, but such a functional component may be applied to the tube of another embodiment or application of the present invention described above.

Therefore, it should be understood that such modified embodiments should not be understood individually from the technical spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modified embodiments should be included in the appended claims of the present invention.
