Abstract

An aquaplane including a pair of inflatable members, a connection assembly and a control assembly is provided. Each of the inflatable members has a leading end, a foot fixing portion and a back end, wherein the foot fixing portion is located between the leading end and the back end. The connection assembly is connected between the leading ends of the inflatable members, and the control assembly is disposed on the pair of inflatable members, and is located adjacent to the foot fixing portions. A user is capable of treading on the foot fixing portions of the aquaplane to drive the back ends of the two inflatable members to repeatedly close to each other and separate from each other, so as to drive the aquaplane to move forward on water.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An aquaplane, comprising:
 a pair of inflatable members, each having a leading end, a foot fixing portion and a back end, wherein the foot fixing portion is located between the leading end and the back end;   a connection assembly, connected between the leading ends of the inflatable members, wherein the connection assembly is one of a combination of retaining rings and a bolt and a combination of retaining rings and a rope, where the retaining rings are overlapped to each other and the bolt is inserted into the retaining rings in the combination of the retaining rings and the bolt, and the rope is passed through the retaining rings to connect the retaining rings together in the combination of the retaining rings and the rope; and   a control assembly, disposed on the pair of inflatable members, and located adjacent to the foot fixing portions.   
     
     
         2 . The aquaplane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the inflatable members has a long strip shape, the leading end of each of the inflatable members has a ¼ circular arc shape, and the back end of each of the inflatable members has a semicircular arc shape. 
     
     
         3 . The aquaplane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the inflatable members has a top surface, and the foot fixing portion sinks in the top surface. 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The aquaplane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the control assembly is a control rack having a grip rod and a connection rod when the connection assembly is the combination of the retaining rings and the bolt, the grip rod and the connection rod are connected in perpendicular, and one end of the connection rod that is not connected to the grip rod is inserted into the retaining rings to make the connection rod serving as the bolt. 
     
     
         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . The aquaplane as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the control assembly comprises:
 a pair of fixed pulleys, respectively disposed on the inflatable members, wherein each inflatable members is provided with one of the fixed pulleys thereon; and   an assisting rope, penetrating through the fixed pulleys, wherein one end of the assisting rope is fixed on one of the inflatable members adjacent to the foot fixing portion, and the other end of the assisting rope is fixed on the other one of the inflatable members adjacent to the foot fixing portion.   
     
     
         8 . The aquaplane as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of foot fixing pipes, respectively disposed on the inflatable members, and located on the foot fixing portions, wherein each inflatable members is provided with one of the foot fixing pipes thereon. 
     
     
         9 . The aquaplane as claimed in  claim 8 , further comprising a pair of non-slip pads, respectively disposed on the inflatable members, and located on the foot fixing portions and adjacent to the foot fixing pipes, wherein each of the inflatable members is provided with one of the non-slip pads thereon. 
     
     
         10 . The aquaplane as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a pair of soft fins, respectively disposed on the back end of each of the inflatable members.
