ABSTRACT:
An inflation manifold is made an integral part of an inflatable article so that the manifold is held against rotation and retraction. In a preferred embodiment, a "U"-shaped clip has plural apertures formed along its extent, and is snapped onto a preselected part of the manifold such as a neck part. A detent prevents relative rotation between the clip and the neck of the manifold. The clip and manifold are embedded in elastomeric material so that the elastomeric material flows into the apertures and into the space between the opposed ends of the clamp, thereby preventing rotation and retraction of the manifold and clip with respect to such material when the material hardens.
