Abstract
A lifting device including a recessed inlet molded into an envelope structure of the lifting device at a notch section. The notch section, in turn, may include one or more protruding surfaces configured to protect the inlet, or air hose coupling attached to the inlet, from contact (e.g. falls/bumps) that may otherwise damage one or more of the air hose coupling or the recessed inlet while the lifting device is being stored, deployed, or used.
