Definitions

  • This invention relates to an expansible cushion, particularly for composing promotional items.
  • sales promotion items have long been used which have no other specific functional destination and either reproduce a product or a logo, possibly to a scaled-down size.
  • Such items may be basically two-dimensional, being formed form either light cardboard or some plastics laminate, or the like, or be three-dimensional. Understandably, best effects are to be obtained with three-dimensional items, although two-dimensional items are most often used on account of their being less expensive and above all because their shape fits more easily into product packages and magazines, while being easier to transport.
  • an expansible cushion characterized in that it comprises a bag containing a fluid which has a boiling temperature in the range of 23°C to 47°C.
  • a cushion 1 includes a sealed bag 2 which contains a fluid 3 having a boiling temperature which lies close to ambient temperature, as will be explained hereinafter.
  • the Figures show a bag 2 substantially in the pattern of a playing card suit, it being understod that the pattern shape of the bag 2 will be selected each time to reproduce a product, logo, or any other object.
  • the fluid 3 in the bag 2 has a boiling temperature (at atmospheric pressure) which ranges from medium ambient temperature (23°C) to a very high ambient temperature (47°C).
  • a boiling temperature at atmospheric pressure
  • the fluid 3 contained in the bag 2 will be in a thoroughly liquid state
  • a second condition of temperature above said boiling temperature the fluid 3 will be vaporized at least in part.
  • Depicted in Figure 2 is indeed the instance where the fluid 3 is partly vaporized, the liquid free surface being indicated at 3a.
  • the boiling temperature of the liquid is quite close to the bodily temperature level, i.e. of approximately 35°C; thus, the fluid 3 is allowed to be in a thoroughly liquid state even at moderately high ambient temperature, its at least partial vaporization being ensured already by a sufficiently prolonged contact thereof with the hands of a person.
  • a fluid has shown to be suitable which comprises a blend of Freon MF (also referred to as Algofrene 11, with the raw formula CCl a F) and Freon TF (also referred to as Algofrene 113 or Delifrene HP, with the raw formula C 2 Cl 3 F 3 ).
  • Freon MF also referred to as Algofrene 11, with the raw formula CCl a F
  • Freon TF also referred to as Algofrene 113 or Delifrene HP, with the raw formula C 2 Cl 3 F 3
  • Freon MF and Freon TF have boiling temperatures, at atmospheric pressure, of approximately 23°C and 47°C, respectively; blends of these two fluids would have intermediate boiling temperatures. More specifically, a blend containing 30% Freon MF and 70% Freon TF (by liquid volume) has a boiling temperature lying very close to bodily temperature (about 35°C), as desired.
  • a cushion according to this invention besides achieving the object set forth affords the faculty of composing promotional items with a dynamic effect which is quite unthinkable in the instance of comparable prior items. From such a dynamic effect, there naturally results a dramatically different, and considerably more effectively, promotional impact.
  • Freon MF and Freon TF may be used in percentages other than that specified as preferred, without departing from the protection scope of the appended claims.
  • boiling temperature will be, as mentioned, of about 47°C, to provide a promotional item adapted to expand when exposed, for instance, to direct sunlight on a particularly hot day.
