There was an inflated tube running from each cylinder to an amorphous blob between them, and part of the center structure rotated with the cylinders.

I cannot see the shark, so try to pull my leggy lures out of the sea by sitting half up on the inflated tube with my head crammed against the canopy.

The raft would be leaned against a tree and the inflated tubes lashed in place underneath.

There, hung up on a dead branch, was an inflated inner tube.

The claws dug into the creature's firm flesh with as much resistance as if he was grabbing an inflated inner tube, yet for a moment he managed to get a grip.

In its "Rock-A-Hoola" incarnation, the park included a river ride on inflated tubes.

And as the inflated tubes diminished around his shoulders and chest, he began to sink.

He felt inside, between the rubber-coated nylon of its bottom and the inflated tubes that formed its walls, hoping to find something telltale left behind.

He bounced off the blister's glass wall like an inflated inner tube and crumpled to the floor.

And in a few years, Army helicopters and tanks in the field will be housed in portable hangars: vinyl-coated polyester tents supported by inflated tubes.
