Coupling apparatus for inflating members

Abstract

An inflating member coupling apparatus includes a number of inflating members each having an air valve, and a number of coupling devices each having a base member which includes one or more apertures for engaging with the air valves of the inflating members and for coupling the coupling devices to the inflating members easily and quickly without additional tools or fasteners. The coupling device includes one or more flaps extended from the base member and having the apertures formed in the flaps, and a slit communicating with the aperture for allowing the aperture of the base member to be selectively opened and for allowing the air valve to be detachably engaged into the aperture of the base member.

1 . An inflating member coupling apparatus comprising:
 an inflating member including an air valve for filling air or gas into said inflating member, and   a coupling device including a base member having at least one aperture formed therein for engaging with said air valve of said inflating member and for coupling said coupling device to said inflating member easily and quickly.   
   
   
       2 . The coupling apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said coupling device includes at least one flap extended from said base member and having said at least one aperture formed in said at least one flap for engaging with said air valve of said inflating member. 
   
   
       3 . The coupling apparatus as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said at least one flap is perpendicular to said base member. 
   
   
       4 . The coupling apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said coupling device includes a slit formed therein and communicating with said at least one aperture thereof for allowing said at least one aperture of said base member to be selectively opened and for allowing said air valve of said inflating member to be detachably engaged into said at least one aperture of said base member. 
   
   
       5 . The coupling apparatus as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said inflating member includes at least one ring member each having an orifice formed therein for engaging with said at least one aperture of said coupling device. 
   
   
       6 . The coupling apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said coupling device includes a passage formed therein for engaging with a wire. 
   
   
       7 . The coupling apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said inflating member is made of polyvinyl chloride materials.
