Abstract
A balloon is connected to a cylindrical tube, and the resulting assembly is mounted on a container to serve as a decorative balloon display system.
Claims23
A balloon display system, comprising:
- a) a balloon having a neck, and a gas-admitting inlet on the neck for enabling the balloon in a deflated state to be inflated to an inflated state;
- and
- b) a tube connected to the neck in the deflated state of the balloon, the tube bounding an interior through which the neck extends, the tube having an open end for exposing the inlet for enabling inflation to the inflated state.
A balloon display system, comprising:
- a) a balloon including juxtaposed films peripherally sealed to bound an interior, an elongated neck having a neck end portion, and a gas-admitting inlet on the neck for enabling the balloon in a deflated state to be inflated to an inflated state;
- b) a hollow cylindrical tube having an inner cylindrical wall and an outer cylindrical wall, the tube bounding an interior through which the neck extends, the neck end portion being connected at the outer cylindrical wall;
- and
- c) a container having an upper cylindrical portion at which the tube is mounted with the balloon in the inflated state.

A method of displaying a balloon, comprising the steps of:
- a) connecting a neck of the balloon in a deflated state to a tube by extending the neck through an interior of the tube;
- b) exposing a gas-admitting inlet on the neck at an open end of the tube to enable the balloon to be inflated to an inflated state;
- and
- c) supportably mounting the tube with the connected balloon in the inflated state at an upper region of a container.

A method of displaying a balloon, comprising the steps of:
- a) pulling taut a neck of the balloon through an interior of a tube, and exposing a neck end portion beyond the tube;
- b) connecting the neck end portion at an outer circumferential surface of the tube;
- and
- c) supportably mounting the tube with the balloon at an upper region of a container.
