Inflatable tent construction

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As can be seen by reference to the drawings, and in particularly to FIG.
1, the inflatable tent construction that forms the basis of the present invention is designated generally by the reference number 10.
As shown in FIG.
2, the tent construction 10 comprises in general a floor unit 11, an upper wall unit 12, a lower wall unit 13 and a plurality of wall opening units 14 formed in the lower wall unit 13.
These units will now be described in seriatim fashion.
As shown in FIGS.
2 and 4, the floor unit 11 comprises a plurality of inflatable interior floor chambers 20 aligned in parallel fashion and horizontally disposed within an enlarged diameter exterior inflatable circular base ring 21.
The base ring 21 is inflatable independent of the floor chambers 20.
Furthermore, the floor chambers 20 may either be inflated as a single pneumatically interconnected unit, or selectively inflated in groups, such that the smaller length floor chambers 20' on each end of the floor unit 11 may serve as inflatable pillows while the larger intermediate floor chambers 20" may function as an air mattress.
It should also be noted that in most instances, the intermediate floor chambers 20" will be under inflated to allow people to walk in the interior floor chambers 20 in the normal fashion.
However, when one or more people spread their body weight over a larger surface area of the interior floor chambers 20, there will be sufficient air pressure to keep the opposite walls of each inflatable chamber 20 from contacting one another.
Turning now to FIGS.
1 through 3, it can be seen that the upper inflatable wall unit 12 comprises in general, an upper reduced diameter horizontally disposed inflatable circular ring 30 which defines a central opening 31 in the top of the generally hemispherically shaped inflatable tent construction 10, an intermediate diameter horizontally disposed inflatable circular ring 32 and a plurality of enlarged width vertically aligned inflatable tubular chambers 33 which extend between the upper inflatable ring 30 and the intermediate inflatable ring 32
