Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To meet a need for measures for preventing a leakage of gas from a connection part between an inner light bulb and an outer power source to solve a problem of conventional method for manufacturing a balloon with an inside lit-up and a sound generated therefrom.SOLUTION: One or more balloon is provided in a balloon-like bag having an opening where a light source and a sound source are inserted from the opening into a gap with the balloon. When the inner balloon is expanded, the outer balloon-like bag is expanded so that the light source and the sound source are pressed against the faces between the balloon to be fixed thereto. Inside of the opening corresponds to an outside of the balloon, thereby preventing a gas leakage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for incorporating a light source and a sound source into an object inflated with air such as a balloon.

  Various structures have been conceived that seem to be interesting when a light bulb is put into a balloon to make it glow from the inside or make a sound. However, since the balloon gas leaks from the electric wire connecting the internal light bulb and the external power supply, it was difficult to take measures against it. In Patent Document 1, the gas blowing port is tapered, and a light-emitting wire sealing portion having a taper similar to that is fitted, but it is necessary to simultaneously perform the operation of putting gas and the sealing operation. Moreover, it could not be effectively sealed without using an adhesive.

  In Patent Document 2, another balloon is inserted into the balloon, and a light emitter is inserted therein to form a light emitter holding bag. Since the outer balloon and the luminous body holding bag are inflated separately, the operation is easier than that of Patent Document 1, but the luminous body is sealed in the holding bag and further incorporated in the outer balloon. Therefore, the luminous body was separated from the outside.

  I wanted balloons and lanterns that could be produced at the same cost as conventional balloons without leaking the gas even when the illuminant and sound source were inserted and removed.

  One or more balloons are provided inside a balloon-like bag having an opening, and a light source and a sound source are inserted between the balloons through the opening.

  When the balloon inside is inflated, the light source and sound source are pressed against the wall between the balloons and fixed inside the balloon-like bag on the outside. The wire passes through the opening, but is outside the balloon, so no gas leaks.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the bag of FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the light source placed on the protective equipment. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing another protector and a light source.

  Example 1 shows an example of the present invention and will be described with reference to FIGS. Example 2 shows another example of the present invention and will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of the production process of what should be called a balloon of the present invention or a balloon-like bag. The original fabric 1 for making the balloon is folded in half, another thin tube 2 is inserted inside, and the balloon-like bag 3 is sealed with a bag making machine and cut out. The original fabric 1 may be a stack of two films, or one side of the tube-shaped original fabric 1 may be cut open.

  FIG. 2 shows a balloon-like bag 3 cut out. A printed portion 4 that is previously applied to the inside of the thin tube 2 and cannot be sealed becomes an opening 5. A check valve 7 is provided at the protruding portion 6. When a light source 9 with an electric wire 8 such as an LED is inserted from the opening 5 and air or helium is introduced from the check valve 7, the balloon-like bag 3 expands.

  Since the inner thin tube 2 communicates with the outside through the opening 5, it is crushed by the expansion of the balloon-like bag 3. The light source 9 is fixed inside. In this case, the thin tube 2 is also a part of the balloon's outer membrane, the balloon-like bag 3.

  FIG. 3 shows a side view of the balloon-like bag 3 inflated. Since the outer diameter of the balloon-like bag 3 becomes small, the thin tube 2 sways as shown in FIG. 3 and flutters when shaken. The effect of moving the light source 9 may be aimed at, but if it is desired to fix, the light source 9 may be fixed to a thin plastic plate 10 and the fixing plate 10 may be inserted into the thin tube 2 as shown in FIG. Since the fixing plate 10 is not stretched at least and has a length close to both ends, it may be paper or film if it is light like a balloon floating in the air.

  The fixing plate 10 of the light source 9 is not only fixed inside the balloon-like bag 3 but also expanded to the outside as shown in FIG. 5 to make the balloon-like bag 3 flowers and the branches and leaves 11 to fix the flowers. It becomes a lighting accessory. Further, not only one light source but also a plurality of light sources may be mounted.

  The number of balloons in the balloon-like bag 3 is not limited to one. For example, if there are two balloons, the arrangement of the light sources can be changed depending on how they are inflated. A number of light sources may be arranged at a three-dimensional position of the balloon-like bag 3 to make it shine. A plurality of balloons can also be inserted by the manufacturing method of FIG. A sound source or the like may be inserted from the provided opening. The number of openings is not limited to one, but may be two or more if necessary.

  The light source 9 is not limited to LEDs. In the case of a light source that is dangerous if it is too close to an incandescent light bulb such as an incandescent bulb or a candle, it is built in a structure 12 having a space inside with a wire or a molded product as shown in FIG. There are also ways to prevent convection and conduction of heat and not damage the outer balloon. Accordingly, the structural member 12 including the conventional fixing plate 10 is used as a protective device.

  Balloon-like bags, balloons inside, and protective equipment can be used not only for transparent films but also for anything that does not block the light from the light source and improves its effectiveness. Printing with the same effect is also good. Note that the arrangement of the sound source with respect to the balloon is structurally almost the same as that of the light source if attention is paid to howling and the like, and the explanation is omitted.

  The light and sound balloons of the present application can be manufactured at a low cost, which is the same as the conventional balloon manufacturing method.

  Since the light source and sound source are outside the balloon, the balloon gas does not leak at all. Therefore, the balloon-like bag that emits light and sound of the present application lasts for a long time. Furthermore, the light source and sound source can be taken in and out as many times as the balloon gas is reduced.

  If the light source is an LED, it can be a balloon that floats on helium or hydrogen, with the power supply disconnected and the wires held in place. If it is a light lithium-ion battery, it can be a balloon with it, and if it glows in the night sky, it will be a toy that children will be very pleased with. If the battery dies, it can be replaced.

  Naturally, it will appeal to adults, so it will produce sound and increase its value as an advertising medium.

  Light and sound balloons are film even if they are large, so material costs are low, and if the production costs remain the same, we can respond to limited-time illuminations such as Christmas and big sale, contributing to the production of gorgeousness that has never existed before it can.
