Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
In an inflation structure having a plurality of interconnected panels, an insert panel for insertion into and removal from the structure comprising, a closed compartment formed along the side of the insert panel to be inserted into the structure adjacent one of said plurality of interconnected panels, a closed compartment formed along the respective side of said one adjacent panel, an inextensible member contained and movable within and along the length of the confines of each of said compartments, said compartments of each of said panels being positioned in overlying surface engaging relationship and securing means securing said compartments of said insert panel and said one adjacent panel together with one of said compartments overlying the other of said compartments, said securing means extending through each of said overlying compartments and their respective inextensible members to secure said compartments and inextensible members together such that the surfaces of the overlying compartments are air-tightly engaged when the structure is inflated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
159 words

Claim 4
Independent Claim
93 words
The method of connecting together panels of an inflatable structure comprising forming a compartment along the sides of the panels to be connected together, movably containing an inextensible member within each of the compartments, placing the compartments of the panels to be connected together in overlying air-tight engaging relationship, providing aligned holes through each of the overlying compartments and their contained inextensible members, and positioning securing means through the aligned holes and securing the overlying compartments and contained members together with the compartments being in air-tight engaging relationship when the structure is inflated.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
93 words
The method of connecting together panels of an inflatable structure comprising forming a compartment along the sides of the panels to be connected together, movably containing an inextensible member within each of the compartments, placing the compartments of the panels to be connected together in overlying air-tight engaging relationship, providing aligned holes through each of the overlying compartments and their contained inextensible members, and positioning securing means through the aligned holes and securing the overlying compartments and contained members together with the compartments being in air-tight engaging relationship when the structure is inflated.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method of connecting together panels of an inflatable structure as in claim 3, airtightly adhering the overlying compartments together by interposing an adhesive therebetween.
