Description
For an election campaign an innovative, expressive and mobile booth was needed for a party as an alternative for the normally used umbrellas and tables. The pneumatic booth fulfils all the requirements: it is mobile and light, expressive and convertible. On the top of an alumin-ium mast with an integrated round table the membrane is connected over a kind of hub. At the top of this hub the ventilator is located. Inside the mast are the electrical cables and the rain-water drainage. The foot of the booth is a standard footing for market umbrellas. The whole booth can be demounted within 5 minutes into manageable pieces, transportable in a small car or by hand.
This inflating pneumatic ?bubble? is an eye-catcher and an attraction. In less than 2 minutes the pneumatic structure is totally inflated by a solar powered ventilator. The ventilator is regu-lated by a two-step switch, which reduced the air volume after the bubble is totally inflated. The high translucency of the membrane material allows the pneumatic balloon to glow under the influence of bright sunlight. For use during the night appropriate lighting can be installed inside.
