Abstract

See full text

The present invention is a connector for an inflatable member. A portion of the connector extends within an internal volume of the inflatable member to define a recess for accepting a structural connection. The connector has an air-impermeable surface that is configured to maintain integrity of the inflatable member to allow the internal volume to be pressurized when the connector is bonded to an opening in a surface of the inflatable member. The connector can optionally pass through the opposing surface or otherwise engage the opposing surface to enhance its structural properties.
