Air cooling for inflatable amusements

Abstract

An embodiment is the use of an inflatable enclosure for amusement purposes and it comprises an air cooling system which is operated by a plurality of interconnecting vinyl tubes, panels and reservoirs which has air forced into it via the same blower that keeps the enclosure inflated that allows a strong stream of cool air to be forced out under pressure from gauze based vents placed in a number of predetermined positions mainly on the inside of the enclosure that cools the users, preferably children to allow the play within the enclosure to be at a lower air temperature thus facilitating better and prolonged use and if the air cooling system is not required it can be turned off using a series of closing valves and flaps concealed within he walls of the enclosure and accessed from the outer walls.

1 . A cooling system for a user of an inflatable structure, comprising:
 a blower for forcing air into the structure, the structure comprising a reservoir with an internal surface and an external surface;
 wherein the internal surface of the reservoir is configured to receive the air and provide support to the structure; 
   an opening in the structure configured to allow the air to escape from the internal surface of the reservoir; and   a first flow control device located in the reservoir, wherein the first flow control device is configured to control air flow through the opening and wherein the air flow through the opening is used to cool the user.   
   
   
       2 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first flow control device is activated manually. 
   
   
       3 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first flow control device utilizes a hook and loop attaching system. 
   
   
       4 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first flow control device has a first position and a second position. 
   
   
       5 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the first position blocks a substantial portion of the opening. 
   
   
       6 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the air within the reservoir assist in maintaining the first flow control device in the first position. 
   
   
       7 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first flow control device is made from a flexible material. 
   
   
       8 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first flow control device is made from a substantially vinyl-type material. 
   
   
       9 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the first flow control device is configured as a flap. 
   
   
       10 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first flow control device is made from a material comprising ultra-violet inhibitors. 
   
   
       11 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first flow control device is made from a fire retardant material. 
   
   
       12 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first flow control device is made from a water retarding material. 
   
   
       13 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the opening further comprises a gauze vent. 
   
   
       14 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second flow control device, wherein the second flow control device is located on the external surface of the reservoir and permits access to the first control device.   
   
   
       15 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the second flow control device utilizes a hook and loop attaching system. 
   
   
       16 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the second flow control device is made from a flexible material. 
   
   
       17 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein the second flow control device is made from a substantially vinyl-type material. 
   
   
       18 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the second flow control device is configured as a flap. 
   
   
       19 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the second flow control device is made from a material comprising ultra-violet inhibitors. 
   
   
       20 . The cooling system as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the second flow control device is made from a fire retardant material.
