Definitions

  • the invention relates to an additional balloon device of the type explained in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an additional balloon device is known from DE-OS 30 15 962.
  • the known additional balloon device can only be used to illuminate a balloon and contains one of the usual battery-operated flashlights, in which the head part with the pushed-on balloon is put on instead of the optics.
  • the head part consists of a stopper that contains a support tube for the lamp holder and an inflation tube with a check valve.
  • the plug is attached to the hull of the flashlight via a conical intermediate tube.
  • the outer diameter of the filler plug is provided with projections over which the filler neck of the balloon is pulled.
  • the carrier tube for the lamp holder extends approximately into the middle of the balloon and carries at its upper end the thread for the bulb and a rubber seal for sealing the space between the bulb and the carrier tube.
  • the carrier tube is open towards the body of the flashlight.
  • the filling channel designed as a blow-in tube protrudes somewhat from the underside of the stopper, so that the balloon can also be inflated with the mouth.
  • the end of the filling channel reaching into the balloon is closed by a check valve designed as a simple rubber washer and the free end of the filling channel is closed by an attachable closure part.
  • the electrical connection between the lamp and the fuselage of the flashlight takes place via an electrical line, which is attached to the lamp holder of the flashlight and to the lamp holder of the support tube is brought, whereby only a soldering is possible for the type of attachment.
  • the two poles of the electrical line must be connected to the lamp holder of the support tube and the lamp holder of the flashlight before the plug is attached to the body of the flashlight.
  • the balloon must also be inflated before it is placed on the fuselage of the torch.
  • the type of electrical connection requires that the plug be open at the bottom.
  • the lamp holder on the support tube is sealed by a rubber piece, but since the lamp has to be screwed in and out, it cannot be ensured that the balloon can be optimally sealed.
  • the known balloon auxiliary device can only be used in the manner shown.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of designing a balloon auxiliary device in such a way that it can be used in a variety of ways and that the balloon can be sealed securely.
  • the embodiment according to claim 6 allows the use of conventional balloons.
  • the embodiment according to claim 12 describes a particularly simple, one-piece sprayable head part, the final assembly of which requires only a few manipulations.
  • the embodiment according to claim 13 allows additional optical effects.
  • the configuration according to claim 14 ensures that the inflation of the balloon is not hindered by the additional disc.
  • Claim 15 describes a particularly preferred arrangement of the disc, it being possible to ensure in a simple manner that the gas tightness of the head part is not impaired thereby.
  • Claim 18 describes an alternative embodiment of the clutch, which is particularly useful when the balloon z. B. is exposed to larger wind forces.
  • attachment options for the balloon described in claims 19 and 20 can be provided together or individually on the head part and selected depending on the size of the balloon or the type of gas used for filling.
  • the balloon can also be hung upside down, the configuration of the suspension device according to claim 22 being preferred in terms of construction.
  • Claims 23 and 24 describe further precautions with which additional lighting effects can be achieved.
  • the balloon together with the head part can be detached from the supporting part and still shines when it z. B. rises into the air by filling with helium.
  • acoustic effects can be achieved in addition to or instead of the lighting effects.
  • B. music, language or acoustic noises can be transmitted.
  • Claim 28 describes a possibility of placing a support part designed as a handle housing on a solid base.
  • Claims 29 and 30 describe a possibility of clamping the supporting part, which is designed as a handle housing, onto a base.
  • the configuration according to claims 31 and 32 ensures that the balloon can still be inflated even when it is already coupled to the supporting part, which can be necessary in particular if the balloon is somewhat relaxed after a long period of use.
  • the balloon can be deflated when it is detached from the supporting part. This ensures, in particular when filling with a gas that is lighter than air, that the balloon does not rise into the air and can therefore be lost unintentionally.
  • Claims 34 and 35 describe further options for filling the balloon.
  • the embodiment according to claim 36 is particularly advantageous where the balloons are to be used as a balloon chain, since this greatly simplifies the assembly of the chain.
  • the configuration according to claim 37 makes it easier to inflate the balloons.

  • the contact socket 8 a can be connected to the contact pin 9 on the support part 3 and the contact pin 9 a to the contact socket 8 of one of the head parts, for example according to FIGS. 2 or 4.
  • precautions can be taken so that the band 21 can also be attached to the rod 5.
  • FIG. 16 describes the flexible electrical intermediate line 6 for use according to FIG. 1 e.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 11 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 10 only in that instead of the rigid intermediate rod 5, a flexible intermediate line 6 is provided, on which the coupling 39 and the plug 40 are arranged at both ends.
  • the supporting part 3 can also be designed as an electrical line in a manner not shown, but known, for example, in the case of electrical Christmas tree lights, into which contact pins 9 are switched in at intervals.
  • the contact pins 9 can also be located on one of the connectors 40 described in FIGS. 15 and 16.
  • a supporting part designed in this way is preferably connected directly to the general power network via a transformer. Also in this embodiment, between the supporting part 3 and the head part 2 between rods 5 or flexible Z intermediate lines 6 can be switched on. If necessary, a switch can be arranged on the support part 3 or on the transformer.
  • the support part 3 is designed as a gas line 41, which is either rigid or can be a hose.
  • the gas line 41 has a plurality of gas connections 42 a, 42 b, 42 c.
  • the gas connections 42 a, 42 b, 42 c each lead to a plug connection 43 a, 43 b, 43 c, which are designed, for example, to accommodate one of the described head parts or a head part with filling channel 16 integrated into the coupling parts 8 and 9.
  • a check valve 44 a, 44 b, 44 c is arranged in each of the gas connections 42, which allows a gas flow from the gas line 41 to the respective connector 43 and thus to the balloon 1, a backflow of the gas blocks the balloon 1 in the gas line 41, however.
  • the gas line 41 can preferably be connected to a gas bottle, a compressor or another gas source via a manometer.
  • the check valves 44 can be centrally controlled in a manner not shown, so that they can be opened if necessary to deflate the balloon.
  • An electrical line 45 runs within the gas line 41 and has a number of electrical connections 46 a, 46 b, 46 c corresponding to the number of gas connections 42. Each of the electrical connections 46 is connected to a contact pin 9 in the manner already described.
  • the electrical line 45 is connected, possibly via a switch 4, to one of the current sources described above, but preferably via a transformer to the power network.
  • a head part with an already opened but not yet inflated balloon is first attached to each of the plug connections 43.
  • the gas supply is opened so that the balloon gas through the gas line 41 flows and is distributed in the gas connections 42. Since the check valve is permeable in this direction, the gas flows further into the balloon 1 and inflates it to the desired size. Then the gas supply is closed. By closing the switch 4, the balloons 1 can now be illuminated from the inside.
  • the check valves 44 and their arrangement in the gas connections 42 firstly ensure that the filling channel 16 to the balloon 1 is closed outside the head part 2, so that if one of the plug connections 43 becomes loose, the balloon 1 can be emptied and is not lost .
  • the blocking direction of the check valve 44 further ensures that when one of the balloons 1 burst, the others cannot empty themselves via the gas connection 42 which now opens into the atmosphere. Rather, the gas connection 42 of the burst balloon will only allow that part of the gas to be emptied which is still in the gas line 41 after the compressed gas bottle has been shut off, so that the remaining balloons 1 remain fully functional.
  • FIGS. 18 and 19 describe a further exemplary embodiment of a support part 3 which can be used for balloon chains.
  • the support part 3 here consists of a gas hose 65, on which two secondary hoses 66 and 67 are sprayed.
  • a T-piece 68 is fitted into the gas hose 65, which has secondary channels 66 'and 67' which match the secondary tubes 66 and 67.
  • the secondary hose 66 and the secondary channel 66 'receive the electrical connection lines for the lamp 14 and the sound source 61, respectively.
  • the secondary hose 67 and the secondary channel 67 ' are empty in normal operation and are used for the rapid emptying of all balloons 1.
  • the contact socket 8 (or the contact pin) is arranged on the vertical leg of the T-piece 68.
  • the contact socket 8 can on the approach 53, such as it was described in Figure 9, be appropriate.
  • the contact socket 8 can be designed as a multipole socket, so that both the connections to the lamp 14 and the connections to the sound source 61 can also be transmitted via the contact socket 8 and the associated contact pin 9 on the head part 2.
  • a connecting hose 69 leads from the interior of the vertical leg of the T-piece 68 to the filling channel 16 of the head part 2.
  • the connecting hose 69 is expediently designed to be elastic and is pulled over the outside of the filling channel 16.
  • the check valve 44 Inside the vertical leg of the T-piece 68 there is, not shown, the check valve 44, whereby either a pressure-controlled check valve or a valve that can be controlled centrally for quick emptying can also be used here this controllable valve or additionally k Ann on the head part 2, a further, not shown nozzle in the form of an emptying nozzle in the same way as the filling channel 16 may be arranged.
  • a second connecting hose 67 is pushed onto this emptying channel, which is connected to the second secondary channel 67 '.
  • the balloon 1 can, if desired, bypass the non-return valve via this second connecting hose 67" 44 can be emptied.
  • the secondary channels 66 'and 67' must be in operative connection with the secondary hoses 66 and 67 of the gas hose 65. This can be done either by sealing or by a plug connection adapted to the function.
  • FIGS. 20 and 21 relate to special configurations of the balloon 1.
  • the balloon 1 can have a further filling channel 47 in addition to its filler neck 1a drawn over the head part 2.
  • the filling channel 47 is closed either by a stopper or by a simple check valve.
  • the additional filling channel 47 serves to improve the inflatability of the balloon 1. In such a configuration, it is of course no longer necessary for the head part 2 to contain the filling channel 16, although this balloon 1 can also be used with one of the described head parts 2 with a filling channel 16 can.
  • the additional filling channel 47 is arranged at the apex of the balloon 1 opposite the filling nozzle 1 a.
  • Such an arrangement opens up the possibility of attaching an object 48 to a fastening thread 49 in the balloon 1 through the additional filling channel 47, where it is illuminated by the lamp 14 of the head part 2.
  • the balloon 1 is made of a more transparent material.
  • the thread 49 is expediently fastened to a ring or a cap 50 which is arranged in or on the filling channel 47.
  • the same decorative effect is achieved when the decorative object is inserted and glued over the filler neck 1a into a balloon without a further filling channel 47, or an apex cap, not shown, is used, which can be glued to an opening in the balloon 1 and with which the thread 49 for the object 48 or the object 48 is directly connected.
  • the decorative effect of the additional balloon device according to the invention can be further increased if one of the conventional paper lanterns is drawn over an illuminated balloon 1 in a manner not shown. Due to the scattering of the light on the balloon wall, the paper lantern is illuminated much more evenly than could be done with a normal lamp or a candle.
  • the additional device according to the invention can also be used temporarily without a balloon as a kind of flashlight.
  • a stopper 17 according to FIG. 2 can also be provided with the band 21.
