ABSTRACT:
An air supported play structure that may be configured into a large variety of forms and shapes. An expanse of air-permeable fabric is weighted around its edges, and the fabric is supported above a surface by a stream of air supplied by a fan. A plurality of connectors are attached to the fabric, and those connectors are arranged to allow any one connector to be secured to another connector. The geometric configuration of the play structure is altered by changing the position of the edge weights, and by selecting the connectors to be secured one to another.
