Abstract
A versatile multiple spout balloon network is provided with thin walled, resilient, single or multiple spout balloons which may be interconnected to other balloons or a pole using plugs. Plugs provide for resilient and airtight engagement of balloons at their spouts. Plugs may include an air channel for passage of air between balloons and the network. The network may include one or more poles, each pole having several branches. Balloons may make an airtight and resilient engagement with the poles at branches using a plug. A stand may be used to erect the plug pole by inserting the pole into a fitting hole in the middle of the stand. A plug unit may comprise multiple surfaces attached to, or integrated at, a central point in different patterns.
Claims11
A multiple balloon structure comprising:
- a support member having a plurality of enlarged plug structure forming a part of said support member for receiving the spouts of conventional ballons;
- a plurality of thin walled conventional inexpensive balloons having their spouts secured to said support member solely by friction of said spouts on said enlarged plug structure;
- said plurality of inflatable balloons being formed of resilient and expandable material which are continuously inflatable to any desired size up to a certain maximum size beyond which they may explode;
- and
- each of said balloons having a body and at least two integral spouts, formed of the same material as the remainder of said balloon with said spouts being necked down and extending from the body of the balloon, each said balloon constituting a single air chamber and being continuously inflatable to any desired size up to a certain maximum size beyond which it may explode, each said balloon comprising film walls which are expandable and stretchable to many times their non-inflated configuration.
