INFLATABLE PROTECTIVE SHIELD and UMBRELLA

Abstract

A modular inflatable shield with a rotational locking cap, customizable air chambers, and integrated storage, designed for sports and outdoor use. It features an inflatable structure with independently adjustable air chambers, allowing for customizable protection. A rotational locking cap enables full 360-degree movement, while inflatable extensions offer adaptable radial coverage. Constructed from durable, puncture-resistant materials, the shield integrates storage compartments and a rainwater collection system. This system offers a versatile solution for outdoor enthusiasts, combining portability, protection, and adaptability in one design.

1 . An inflatable protective shield, comprising:
 an adjustable canopy system configured to selectively inflate, deflate, or leave specific air chambers uninflated to create customizable open areas, form needed voids or non-rigid zones, and adjust size and radial coverage area of the inflatable protective shield; and   a rotational mechanism that enables the inflatable protective shield to rotate around a locking cap by sliding along the locking cap's smooth inner surface or securely attaching to the locking cap, wherein the rotational mechanism ensures smooth and efficient movement of the inflatable protective shield.   
     
     
         2 . The inflatable protective shield of  claim 1 , wherein the adjustable canopy system is further configured to expand diameter of the inflatable protective shield by introducing additional inflatable sections around edges of the inflatable protective shield, offering multiple size options for broader coverage. 
     
     
         3 . The inflatable protective shield of  claim 1 , wherein the inflatable protective shield is multifunctional and configured to:
 protect gear by keeping items dry;   work with or without a core unit;   provide buoyancy support in emergency flotation scenarios when inflated;   create a physical barrier to establish personal space in crowded areas; and   expand to create a temporary shelter, providing emergency protection.   
     
     
         4 . The inflatable protective shield of  claim 3 , wherein the inflatable protective shield is configured to function jointly with the core unit or independently as a handheld device. 
     
     
         5 . The inflatable protective shield of  claim 1 , further comprising a personal protection device configured to defend against potential threats and ensure safety of a user. 
     
     
         6 . The inflatable protective shield of  claim 1 , further comprising integrated storage and display features, including:

         7 . A method of using an inflatable protective shield, comprising:
 selectively inflating, deflating, or leaving specific air chambers uninflated in an adjustable canopy system to create customizable open areas, form needed voids or non-rigid zones, and adjust a size and radial coverage area of the inflatable protective shield; and   rotating the inflatable protective shield around a locking cap using a rotational mechanism that slides along the locking cap's smooth inner surface or securely attaches to the locking cap, wherein the rotational mechanism ensures smooth and efficient movement of the inflatable protective shield.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising expanding a diameter of the inflatable protective shield by introducing additional inflatable sections around edges of the inflatable protective shield, offering multiple size options for broader coverage. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising using the inflatable protective shield to:
 protect gear by keeping items dry;   work with or without a core unit;   assist individuals in water by acting as a flotation device when inflated;   create a physical barrier to establish personal space in crowded areas; and   expand to create a temporary shelter, providing emergency protection.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising using the inflatable protective shield jointly with the core unit or independently as a handheld device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising defending against potential threats and ensuring safety of a user with a personal protection device integrated into the inflatable protective shield. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 storing items securely in hidden compartments integrated into the inflatable protective shield;   collecting and pooling rainwater in a container integrated into the inflatable protective shield; and   displaying notifications or advertisements on a transparent digital screen integrated into the inflatable protective shield.   
     
     
         13 . An inflatable protective shield system, comprising:
 an adjustable canopy system configured to selectively inflate, deflate, or leave specific air chambers uninflated to create customizable open areas, form needed voids or non-rigid zones, and adjust size and radial coverage area of the inflatable protective shield;   a rotational mechanism that enables the inflatable protective shield to rotate around a locking cap by sliding along the locking cap's smooth inner surface or securely attaching to the locking cap, wherein the rotational mechanism ensures smooth and efficient movement of the inflatable protective shield; and   a multifunctional inflatable shield configured to protect gear, work with or without a core unit, assist individuals in water, create a physical barrier, and expand to create a temporary shelter.   
     
     
         14 . The inflatable protective shield system of  claim 13 , wherein the adjustable canopy system is further configured to expand diameter of the inflatable protective shield by introducing additional inflatable sections around edges of the inflatable protective shield, offering multiple size options for broader coverage. 
     
     
         15 . The inflatable protective shield system of  claim 13 , wherein the inflatable shield is configured to:
 keep items dry;   function jointly or independently;   act as a flotation device when inflated;   establish personal space in crowded areas; and   provide emergency protection.   
     
     
         16 . The inflatable protective shield system of  claim 13 , wherein the inflatable shield is configured to work with the core unit or be used as a handheld device. 
     
     
         17 . The inflatable protective shield system of  claim 13 , further comprising a personal protection device configured to defend against potential threats and ensure safety of a user.
