| 20120037269 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INFLATING AN ARTICLE OF OUTDOOR GEAR OR APPAREL USING A DRY GAS - An inflation system includes a bladder incorporated into an article of outdoor gear or apparel. The bladder is incorporated into the article of outdoor gear and apparel so as to provide insulation to a user. The inflation system includes a gas canister that includes a reservoir of dry gas. A valve mechanism allows the dry gas to be used to selectively inflate and deflate the bladder to provide a desired amount of insulation. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20110107521 | INFLATABLE PAD AND METHODS FOR USING SAME - The inflatable pad includes an inflatable frame having a length and width that defines a pad area suitable for supporting a person lying thereon. A plurality of internal support members are configured to support the weight of a person lying thereon and elevate the person above the ground. The inflatable pad includes non-supporting regions that require less fill volume than regions that support primary support regions such as the hips and shoulder. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20100083417 | THIN INSULATIVE MATERIAL WITH LAYERED GAS-FILLED CELLULAR STRUCTURE - A lightweight, gas-filled, highly insulative material is incorporated into an article of outdoor gear or apparel (e.g., a camping pad). The insulative material has a layered cellular structure that can be filled with an insulative gas (e.g., air or argon). The insulative material includes two or more layers of cells, which improves insulation (compared to a single layer) by reducing convection for a given thickness. Increasing the thickness without substantially increasing convection results in a better insulator and an improvement in the ability to retain heat. | 04-08-2010 |
