Abstract

An inflatable bunker obstacle field kit. The kit comprises a container sized and shaped to hold a plurality of inflatable bunkers with a plurality of inflatable bunkers within the container having a plurality of shapes and sizes for creating a paintball, airsoft or projectile field. A pluarlity of impact dampeners are attached to each of the plurality of inflatable bunkers. A plurality of anchor adapters moveably connected to the plurality of impact dampeners provide access for a plurality of weight bags to be connected to the impact dampeners. The anchor adapters each have an aperture sized and shaped to receive a stake. The kit includes a portable blower for cumulatively inflating the plurality of inflatable bunkers prior to use of the inflatable bunkers.

         5 . The kit of  claim 4  wherein the inflatable bunker further comprises a pressure relief valve extending through a wall of the inflatable bunker releasing air within the bunker when internal pressure of the inflatable bunker exceeds a predetermined setpoint.  
     
     
         6 . An inflatable bunker obstacle field kit, the kit comprising: 
 a container sized and shaped to hold a plurality of inflatable bunkers;    a plurality of inflatable bunkers within the container having a plurality of shapes and sizes for creating a paintball, airsoft or projectile field;    a plurality of impact dampeners having first ends attached to each of the plurality of inflatable bunkers;    a plurality of weighting bags for receiving weighting material within the container for attachment to the plurality of impact dampeners, the weighting bags sized and shaped for side by side placement with the plurality of inflatable bunkers during use of the inflatable bunkers;    a portable blower for cumulatively inflating the plurality of inflatable bunkers prior to use of the inflatable bunkers.    
     
     
         7 . The kit of  claim 6  wherein each of the inflatable bunkers have at least four impact dampeners spaced about each of the inflatable bunkers.  
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 7  wherein the container is sized and shaped to hold at least eight inflatable bunkers.  
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 8  wherein the impact dampener is selected from the group consisting essentially of a bungee cord, spring, elastic band, rubber band or any combination thereof.  
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 9  wherein the weighting material is selected from the group consisting essentially of sand, water or a combination thereof.  
     
     
         11 . The kit of  claim 10  wherein the inflatable bunker further comprises a pressure relief valve extending through a wall of the inflatable bunker releasing air within the bunker when internal pressure of the inflatable bunker exceeds a predetermined setpoint.  
     
     
         12 . An inflatable bunker obstacle field kit, the kit comprising: 
 a container sized and shaped to hold a plurality of inflatable bunkers;    a plurality of inflatable bunkers within the container having a plurality of shapes and sizes for creating a paintball, airsoft or projectile field;    a pluarlity of impact dampeners having first ends attached to each of the plurality of inflatable bunkers;    a plurality of anchor adapters moveably connected to a second end of each of the plurality of impact dampeners, the anchor adapters each having an aperture sized and shaped to receive a stake, the movable connection providing access for a plurality of weight bags to be connected to the impact dampeners;    a portable blower for cumulatively inflating the plurality of inflatable bunkers prior to use of the inflatable bunkers.    
     
     
         13 . The kit of  claim 12  wherein each of the inflatable bunkers have at least four impact dampeners spaced about each of the inflatable bunkers.  
     
     
         14 . The kit of  claim 13  wherein the impact dampener is selected from the group consisting essentially of a bungee cord, spring, elastic band, rubber band or any combination thereof.  
     
     
         15 . The kit of  claim 14  wherein the inflatable bunker further comprises a pressure relief valve extending through a wall of the inflatable bunker releasing air within the bunker when internal pressure of the inflatable bunker exceeds a predetermined setpoint.  
     
     
         16 . A stand-alone inflatable bunker to provide cover for athletes on a paintball, airsoft or projectile field having an impact dampening anchor system, the bunker comprising: 
 an inflatable bunker having walls made of a flexible and durable material having at least one two-way valve extending therethrough for inflating and deflating the bunker;    a bunker handle attached to the outer surface of the bunker wall such that the point of attachment distributes forces pulling against the bunker wall about a wide area;    an impact dampener connected to the bunker handle such that the impact dampener is deformed when the inflatable bunker is moved by an object impacting the bunker; and    an anchor adapter moveably connected to the impact dampener providing access for a weight bag to be connected to the impact dampener, the anchor adapter having an aperture sized and shaped to receive a stake.
