Abstract

An embodiment is a lightweight and portable inflatable fencing system that is inflated by forced air through its adjustable air tube connectivity to an inflatable amusement by the use of a plurality of intertwined and adjustable vinyl extensions. A further embodiment is a finished fence that is relatively rectangular in shape; combining top and bottom rails with a number of vertical stiles, with lightweight infill panels; and is one piece in construction. When it is not required, the connectors on the amusement can be concealed within the inflatable and sealed air tight and both the fence and enclosure can be packed away without any further dismantling.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An inflatable fencing system for connection to an inflatable structure, the fencing system comprising:
 a first inflatable rail;   a second inflatable rail;   a stile connected to the first rail and the second rail;
 wherein the first rail, the second rail, and the stile form a fence; and 
   an air inlet member disposed on the fence, wherein the air inlet member is configured to receive air from the inflatable structure.   
   
   
       2 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the stile is generally vertical. 
   
   
       3 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the air inlet member is configured as a tube. 
   
   
       4 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 3  wherein a length of the tube is extendible. 
   
   
       5 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 4  wherein the tube has at least one radial zipper to permit extending the length of the tube. 
   
   
       6 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 5  wherein the tube has a second radial zipper. 
   
   
       7 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 5  further comprising:
 a flap extending from the tube configured to cover the radial zipper.   
   
   
       8 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 7  wherein the flap is configured to be secured with a hook and loop fastener. 
   
   
       9 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising:
 a panel disposed between the first rail and the second rail.   
   
   
       10 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising:
 a support member extending from the fencing system for connection to the inflatable structure, wherein the support member aids in keeping the fencing system upright.   
   
   
       11 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 10  wherein the support member is a vinyl flap. 
   
   
       12 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the support member is configured to use a hook and loop fastener to connect to the inflatable structure. 
   
   
       13 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising:
 a gateway that allows for passage through the fence.   
   
   
       14 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 13  further comprising:
 a gate attached to the gateway.   
   
   
       15 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising:
 a direct blower inlet member for inflating the fence without the use of the inflatable structure.   
   
   
       16 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the inflatable structure is an inflatable amusement. 
   
   
       17 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the fence is configured to be free standing without the aid of the inflatable structure. 
   
   
       18 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising:
 at least one pocket configured to receive an item.   
   
   
       19 . The fencing system as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising:
 at least one air release flap.
