Abstract

An inflatable water exit ramp system including swim up entry ramp to enable quadruped to exit a body of water having a depth.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An inflatable, floatable water exit ramp (IFWER) system, the system including:
 an inflatable structure having rear section forming a u-shaped opening in a plane between its top and bottom; and   a swim up entry ramp formed in the u-shaped opening,   wherein the entry ramp includes a rear downward shape flexible, removal member creating an opening below the plane of the inflatable structure.   
     
     
         2 . The IFWER system of  claim 1 , wherein the inflatable structure has a left rail and an opposing right rail. 
     
     
         3 . The IFWER system of  claim 1 , wherein the inflatable structure has a central area coupled to the left rail and the opposing right rail and wherein the central area, the left rail, and the right rail form the u-shaped opening. 
     
     
         4 . The IFWER system of  claim 1 , wherein the entry ramp is formed of a flexible mesh material. 
     
     
         5 . The IFWER system of  claim 4 , wherein the entry ramp includes a plurality of steps coupled to the mesh material. 
     
     
         6 . The IFWER system of  claim 5 , wherein each of the plurality of steps includes a sleeve and the IFWER system further includes a plurality of flexible tubes removably insertable into each sleeve of the plurality of steps. 
     
     
         7 . The IFWER system of  claim 6 , wherein each sleeve of the plurality of steps is lockable to securely hold a flexible tube once inserted therein. 
     
     
         8 . The IFWER system of  claim 7 , wherein each sleeve of the plurality of steps is lockable to securely hold a flexible tube once inserted therein. 
     
     
         9 . The IFWER system of  claim 3 , wherein the central area includes a traction mat on its top surface. 
     
     
         10 . The IFWER system of  claim 3 , wherein the flexible mesh material is coupled to the central area, the left rail, and the right rail via at least one flexible material. 
     
     
         11 . The IFWER system of  claim 10 , wherein the inflatable structure is comprised of at least one flexible material. 
     
     
         12 . The IFWER system of  claim 11 , wherein the inflatable structure at least one flexible material is the same material as the coupling material for the mesh. 
     
     
         13 . The IFWER system of  claim 11 , wherein the inflatable structure at least one flexible material is the same material as the coupling material for the mesh. 
     
     
         14 . The IFWER system of  claim 3 , wherein the top surface of the flexible mesh material is coupled to the central area, the left rail, and the right rail via at least one flexible material and the bottom surface of the flexible mesh material is coupled to the central area, the left rail, and the right rail via at least one other flexible material. 
     
     
         15 . The IFWER system of  claim 14 , wherein the inflatable structure is comprised of at least one flexible material. 
     
     
         16 . The IFWER system of  claim 11 , wherein the inflatable structure at least one flexible material is the same material as the coupling materials for the top surface and the bottom surface of the flexible mesh. 
     
     
         17 . The IFWER system of  claim 13 , wherein the inflatable structure includes a plurality of tethering systems. 
     
     
         18 . The IFWER system of  claim 17 , wherein a tethering system is located to the four corners of the top surface of the inflatable structure. 
     
     
         19 . The IFWER system of  claim 18 , wherein a tethering system is located on the front, two corners of the bottom surface of the inflatable structure. 
     
     
         20 . The IFWER system of  claim 18 , wherein the inflatable structure is formed from PVC.
