For each left/right wheel-set there is a cylindrical air chamber terminating at each end in the form of a tire. A third air chamber is formed somewhat like a partially flattened egg which represents the passenger compartment situated above and between the two wheel-sets. A fourth inflatable chamber is the remainder of the car body which generally encompasses the wheel-sets and supports the passenger compartment. Within the car body are numerous webs formed as flat sheets of plastic positioned transversely with respect to various outside walls so that when the body is inflated these webs prevent these opposite walls from extending excessively outward and leading to an improper shape. The four air chambers cooperate to provide strength, realism and economy of manufacture.Field of SearchSIMULATION OF VEHICLE COCKPIT OR OF VEHICLE CONTROLINFLATABLE Having separately inflatable parts Including externally applied sealing element And means attachable to form a figure Having check valve Simulated aerial or space vehicle Figure Wheeled vehicle Having specific body structure Demountable INCLUDING FLACCID ELEMENT OR PORTION MISCELLANEOUS | |
