ABSTRACT:
Portable floating apparatus is disclosed herein having a plurality of floatable platforms arranged in end-to-end hingable relationship so as to provide a continuous, extendible bridge. Each platform includes inflatable buoyant tubes carried on the sides thereof and having a rigid support member disposed between and coupled to the side buoyant tubes. The sides of the support member are provided with recesses for storage of the tubes in their deflated conditon. The buoyant tubes of each platform are in fluid communication with the buoyant tubes of adjacent platforms whereby a common inflation device not only inflates the tubes but deploys the plurality of platforms in a selected direction.
