Inflatable garland

An inflatable structure for receiving a gas, comprising:

• a plurality of balloon chambers, wherein a first balloon chamber and a second balloon chamber are each fixedly attached to a shared balloon chamber and each of the balloon chambers is comprised of a plurality of elongated panels formed from a flexible gas-impervious material, wherein the elongated panels extend between a first side and a second side of each of the balloon chambers and are sealed together at a plurality of longitudinal seams between adjacent elongated panels, wherein the elongated panels extend to terminal ends at the first side and the second side, wherein the terminal ends of the elongated panels surround a first open space at the first side and a second open space at the second side, wherein the first balloon chamber is further comprised of a first end panel, wherein the second balloon chamber is further comprised of a second end panel, and wherein the first end panel and the second end panel seal the terminal ends of the elongated panels around the first open space at the first side of the first balloon chamber and the second balloon chamber, respectively;
• a plurality of tangential connections between the balloon chambers, wherein a first tangential connection attaches the first balloon chamber to the shared balloon chamber, wherein a second tangential connection attaches the second balloon chamber to the shared balloon chamber, wherein each of the tangential connections comprises a direct connection between the flexible gas-impervious material for the attached balloon chambers and an internal fluid passageway within a circumference of the tangential connections between the attached balloon chambers, wherein the direct connection between the flexible gas-impervious material for each of the tangential connections is in a fixed orientation without any tube or other extension between the balloon chambers, wherein the terminal ends of the elongated panels in the first balloon chamber and the second balloon chamber extend from the circumference of the tangential connections to the second open space at the second side, and wherein a first hole is formed in at least one of the elongated panels of the shared balloon chamber and is aligned with the second open space of the first balloon chamber within the circumference of the first tangential connection to produce the internal fluid passageway between the first balloon chamber and the shared balloon chamber;
• a port in at least one of the balloon chambers, wherein the port comprises an external fluid passageway between the interior surface and the exterior surface;
• and
• a valve connected to and in fluid communication with the port, wherein the valve allows a flow of the gas through the port in an open configuration and prevents a flow of the gas through the port in a closed configuration.
