ABSTRACT:
Inflatable, air supported frames may be employed to support a variety of structures, including tents. The inflatable frames are composed of one or more elongated inflatable air chambers to which are coupled plural restraints that prevent full extension of components of the frame upon inflation. The restraints cause the inflated frame to kink and form an angle at the location of the restraints. Consequently, the restraints work to define angled portions of the frame. The restraints may be adjusted to alter the configuration of the frame. As a result, one can stabilize the structure on uneven terrain or to cause the frame to assume multiple conformations.
