Abstract
The invention includes methods and apparatus for bisected and/or partially bisected helium-free balloon that may be secured over an extended stationary structure such as an extended pole and/or lamp-post such that the secured balloon gives the appearance of being whole or un-bisected. Additional embodiments include improved methods for elevating and/or coupling a bisected and/or partially bisected helium-free balloon an extended stationary structure such as an extended pole and/or lamp-post.
Claims21
A partially bisected pole-attaching balloon system comprising:
- a partially bisected balloon formed by a plurality of balloon flaps having at least one bisected opening formed by a bisected channel flap having a bisected channel configured to be coupled with a pole;
- at least one securement element configured to secure said bisected opening around said pole;
- at least one pole coupler configured to support said partially bisected balloon;
- and
- at least one inflation port on said partially bisected balloon.
An elevatable reinforced pole-attaching balloon system comprising:
- a balloon having a bisected opening formed by a bisected channel flap having a bisected channel configured to be coupled with a pole;
- at least one securement element configured to secure said bisected opening around said pole;
- at least one reinforced channel collar positioned within a balloon aperture;
- at least one reinforcement strap having a pole support attachment coupled with said channel collar;
- at least one support pole configured to be positioned within said pole support attachment;
- and
- at least one inflation port on said balloon.
An elevatable pole-attaching balloon comprising:
- an elevatable pole-attaching balloon having a bisected opening formed by at least one bisected opening having at least one bisected channel flap configured to be coupled with at least one pole and further having at least one pole support attachment;
- at least one securement element configured to secure said bisected opening around said pole;
- at least one support pole configured to be positioned within said pole support attachment;
- and
- at least one inflation port on said balloon.
