Abstract
A device and method for filling balloons with a fluid comprising a pressurizable container and a filling head. The device pressurizes a container filled with a fluid and releases the fluid through a barbed nozzle that engages a balloon. To use the device, a user engages a balloon on a barbed nozzle attached to the filling head and pumps a pumping mechanism. When the container is adequately pressurized, a user actuates a trigger mechanism that releases fluid in the pressurized container into a balloon engaged on a nozzle to fill the balloon with the fluid
Claims20
A balloon filling device comprising:
- a pressurizable container wherein the container includes an opening;
- a filling head removably secured to the opening of the container;
- a pump assembly attached proximate the filling head, the pump assembly extending into the opening of the container;
- a nozzle having a first end and a second end and having an internal conduit traversing from the first end to the second end wherein the nozzle is in communication with the filling head, and wherein the nozzle is sufficient to engage and maintain a balloon to be filled with the fluid;
- and
- a trigger mechanism in communication with the nozzle, the trigger mechanism controlling the release of pressurized fluid from the container into the nozzle.
A balloon filling device comprising:
- a pressurizable container wherein the container includes a first opening and a second opening;
- a filling head of a sufficient size and dimension to be secured to the first opening of the container;
- a pump assembly of a sufficient size and dimension to be secured to the second opening of the container;
- a nozzle having a first end and a second end and having an internal conduit traversing from the first end to the second end, in communication with the filler assembly, wherein the nozzle is sufficient to engage and maintain a balloon to be filled with the fluid;
- and
- a trigger mechanism in communication with the nozzle that controls the release of pressurized fluid into the nozzle.
A method of filling a balloon with fluid, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a fluid into a container, the container capable being pressurized by air, wherein the container includes an opening;
- attaching a pump assembly proximate the filling head and extending the pump assembly in an opening of the container;
- securing a filling head onto the container;
- pumping the pump assembly to pressurize the container;
- affixing a balloon onto a nozzle in communication with the fluid;
- actuating a trigger mechanism to relieve the pressure of the container theryby forcible evacuating the container of fluid through the nozzle;
- and
- filling the balloon with liquid.
