Abstract
Toy pinata consisting of a balloon envelope into which toys, confetti, candy and other like items are embodied. The balloon envelope, when inflated and permenantly sealed to prevent the escape of the inflating gas, is subsequently pierced or punctured, which causes the balloon envelope to explode, which in turn showers the area in proximity of the exploding balloon with the contents embodied within the toy.
Claims1
A balloon pinata comprising:
- an inflatable elastic balloon envelope having a neck and a mouthpiece;
- a plurality of items contained in said balloon envelope,
- whereby when said balloon envelope is inflated with a pressurized gas, an expanded chamber is formed, and when said balloon envelope is consequently ruptured by a player, said pressurized gas escapes in an explosive manner and instantaneously disbursing said items from said chamber;
