Title:
“pneumocell” - an assembly-kit consisting of inflatable building elements
Abstract:
An Austrian SME has invented “pneumocell” - an assembly-kit consisting of inflatable building elements
analogous to biological cell-structures, which (like large Lego bricks) can be connected in numerous
combinations to form complete constructions. pneumocell is a cost-efficient, reliable serial-product, which is
easy to erect and looks fancy. They are looking for resellers, hirers, producers and customers.
Description
An Austrian company has invented “pneumocell” - an assembly-kit consisting of inflatable building elements.
Each element is connected to the other one with a zip and can be connected in numerous combinations to
form stands, halls, covers of swimming pools, playgrounds, emergency accommodations, etc.
The available elements have different forms (3 – 6 corners) and sizes - but all edges have the length of 213
cm – offering a lot of different building opportunities. The elements consist of different chambers, realizing a
stable construction, fixed by the cell structure of the nature.
Since the elements are made of transparent airtight Polyurethane they also look very light and bright, like an
inflatable crystal. Especially in the nighttime transparencies, reflections, and refraction create various
exciting atmospheres under differently (colored) light.
pneumocell is a cost-efficient and reliable serial-product which sets a milestone in the development of
pneumatic architecture.
Using inflatable buildings gives great advantage in saving weight, labor, money, energy, and pollution,
especially for mobile shelter as for exhibition stalls and outdoor events.
The company has a lot of experience in designing inflatable buildings and objects, able to realize many
inflatable items required by the customer.
pneumocell has been invented and designed in Austria and already has distribution partners in Austria and
Germany
The company is looking for
- customers with challenging ideas they would like to “get inflated”
- new distribution partners in other countries for retail and rental of the inflatable constructions
- production partners.
