Patent attributes
An inflatable pad assembly includes a connecting unit for interconnecting pivotally and detachably first and second inflatable pads such that the second inflatable pad is operable so as to pivot relative to the first inflatable pad between a first position, where one of opposite first and second sides of the first inflatable pad abuts against one of opposite first and second sides of the second inflatable pad, and a second position, where the second inflatable pad is superposed on the first inflatable pad. A third inflatable pad is connected pivotally to the second inflatable pad, and is operable so as to pivot relative to the second inflatable pad between a third position, where the third inflatable pad is received fittingly in a notch in the first side of the second inflatable pad, and a fourth position, where the third inflatable pad is superposed on the second inflatable pad;wherein said notch in said first side of said second inflatable pad is defined by a wall, said second inflatable pad including a first flap that is fastened to said wall and that is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener, said third inflatable pad including a second flap that is fastened to a side thereof and that is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener, saidi hook-and-loop fasteners of said first and second flaps engaging detachably each other so as to interconnect said first and second flaps, thereby allowing pivoting movement of said third inflatable pad about an assembly of said first and second flaps; andwherein, when said third inflatable pad is disposed at the third position, an assembly of said second and third inflatable pads is rectangular and has a size substantially equal to that of said first inflatable pad.
