MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611090751 A) filed by Chitkara University on July 25, 2026, for An Automated Inflatable Vehicle Shed Assembly.
Inventors include Bhisham Sharma; Tapas Sharma; and Anu Sharma.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: The present invention is an automated inflatable vehicle shed assembly (100) includes a retractable inflatable shed (103) stored in a rear storage compartment (109) of a vehicle (110). A trigger mechanism (101) commands deployment or retraction, and an electric air pump (102) supplies air through a pressure distribution manifold (112) to a segmented inflatable chamber assembly (111). Zone isolation valves (113) and non-return valves (114) maintain structural coverage during leakage. A sliding track mechanism (104) having anti-lift sliding carriages (115) guides movement, while an electromechanical retraction drive (116) retrieves the shed (103) through tensile guide members (117). A pressure-sensing and control assembly (105) processes signals from pressure sensors (106), a wind-load sensor (118), an inclination sensor (120), and a pump-current or drive-torque sensor (121). The control circuit (107) stops inflation at a predetermined pressure, releases air through an air release valve (108), and initiates protective retraction upon unsafe wind, obstruction, or abnormal load conditions.
