Abstract
A system and method of using a blower device to maintain an inflatable carnival attraction at a level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the blower device operates on electrical energy received from an external source, monitoring the electrical energy, and triggering an alarm if the electrical energy is insufficient for the blower device to maintain the level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the alarm is of sufficient loudness to be heard by personnel operating the attraction at a location distant from the blower device.
Claims47
A method comprising:
- using a blower device to maintain an inflatable carnival attraction at a level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the blower device operates on electrical energy received from an external source;
- monitoring the electrical energy;
- and
- sounding an audible alarm if the electrical energy is insufficient for the blower device to maintain the level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the alarm is of sufficient loudness to be heard by personnel operating the attraction at a location distant from the blower device.
A method comprising:
- using a blower device to maintain an inflatable carnival attraction at a level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the blower device operates on electrical energy received from an external source;
- monitoring the electrical energy;
- and
- alerting personnel operating the attraction if the electrical energy is insufficient for the blower device to maintain the level of inflation safe for using the inflatable attraction, wherein the personnel are alerted while operating the attraction at a location distant from the blower device.
A blower device comprising a fan driven by a motor connected to a source of power wherein the blower device is adapted to inflate an inflatable carnival attraction and includes an alert system that provides an alert to an operator of the carnival attraction if the blower device fails to operate in a manner sufficient to maintain the attraction in a properly inflated condition.
A blower device comprising a fan driven by a motor connected to a source of power wherein the blower device is adapted to inflate an inflatable carnival attraction and includes an integrated alert system that provides an alert to an operator of the carnival attraction if the blower device fails to operate in a manner sufficient to maintain the attraction in a properly inflated condition.
A blower device comprising a fan driven by a motor connected to a source of power wherein the blower device is adapted to inflate an inflatable advertising attraction and includes an integrated alert system that provides an alert if the blower device fails to operate in a manner sufficient to maintain the attraction in a properly inflated condition.
A blower device comprising a fan driven by a motor connected to a source of power wherein the blower device is adapted to inflate an inflatable advertising attraction and includes an integrated alert system that provides an alert if the blower device fails to operate in a manner sufficient to maintain the attraction in a properly inflated condition.
An alert system adapted to operate with a blower device used to inflate an inflatable carnival attraction, wherein the alert system provides an alert if the blower device is unable to operate in a manner sufficient to maintain the attraction in a properly inflated condition.
An alert system adapted to operate with a blower device used to inflate an inflatable carnival or advertising attraction, wherein the alert system provides an alert if the blower device is unable to operate in a manner sufficient to maintain the attraction in a properly inflated condition, and further wherein operator instructions explaining the use of the alert system in connection with the blower device are affixed to the alert system.
