ABSTRACT:
An inflatable aquatic device has a single inflatable, flotation chamber with a rigid flange element circumscribing the periphery of the inflatable chamber and a flexible lower sheet also attached to the chamber. The aquatic device conforms generally to a size for utilizing on the hand of a user and the flat, lower sheet, which is adhered at its edges to the inflatable chamber, is formed with apertures through which fingers and thumb of the user may pass, thereby permitting the user to utilize his hand for grasping objects and the like and yet still have the flotation chamber firmly attached thereto. The flange element is tapered so that it is deformed from a planar two-dimensional surface into a curved, three-dimensional surface to form a scoop-like element on the lower side and a curved water run-off channel on the upper side.
