Ballon gonflable à facettes pour l'événementiel.Inflatable ball faceted for events.
Domaine technique de l'invention L'invention concerne un ballon gonflable pour l'événementiel comprenant une double enveloppe composée d'une enveloppe interne gonflée par un gaz, et d'une enveloppe externe en tissu souple entourant l'enveloppe interne avec interposition d'un espace de séparation. TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to an inflatable balloon for the event comprising a double envelope composed of an internal envelope inflated by a gas, and an outer envelope of flexible fabric surrounding the inner envelope with interposition of a space of separation.
État de la technique Les ballons éclairants connus gonflés à l'hélium, comportent généralement une enveloppe diffusante renfermant un système d'éclairage interne de grande puissance. Une sur-enveloppe de couleur peut être agencée autour de l'enveloppé gonflable pour obtenir un support de communication personnalisé. State of the art The known illuminated balloons inflated with helium generally comprise a diffusing envelope enclosing a high-power internal lighting system. An over-envelope of color can be arranged around the inflatable wrapper to obtain a personalized communication medium.
La forme de la sur-enveloppe correspond à celle de l'enveloppe interne, et présente un aspect lisse, par exemple de volume sphérique ou elliptique. The shape of the outer envelope corresponds to that of the inner envelope, and has a smooth appearance, for example of spherical or elliptical volume.
Objet de l'invention L'objet de l'invention consiste à réaliser un ballon gonflable éclairant ou non éclairant, ayant une enveloppe double permettant d'obtenir une configuration externe spécifique lors du gonflage. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention consists in producing an inflatable or non-illuminating inflatable balloon, having a double envelope enabling a specific external configuration to be obtained during inflation.
Selon l'invention, ce but est atteint par le fait que des plots de positionnement sont fixés sur l'enveloppe interne du côté de l'espace fermé, de manière à coopérer avec l'enveloppe externe pour en assurer la mise en forme lors du gonflage de l'enveloppe interne. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that positioning studs are fixed on the inner envelope on the closed space side, so as to cooperate with the outer casing to ensure shaping during the inflating the inner envelope.
Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, les plots de positionnement sont répartis uniformément sur l'enveloppe interne permettant la formation d'une pluralité de facettes planes d'orientations différentes sur la surface périphérique de l'enveloppe externe non étanche. Chaque plot possède une forme tronconique, ayant une base plane collée sur l'enveloppe interne, et un sommet légèrement bombé venant en appui contre l'enveloppe externe lors du gonflage de l'enveloppe interne. Le gaz de remplissage de l'enveloppe interne peut être de l'air, ou un gaz inerte, notamment de l'hélium. According to a preferred embodiment, the positioning studs are uniformly distributed on the inner casing allowing the formation of a plurality of plane facets of different orientations on the peripheral surface of the non-leakproof outer casing. Each stud has a frustoconical shape, having a flat base bonded to the inner casing, and a slightly domed top bearing against the outer casing during inflation of the inner casing. The filling gas of the inner casing may be air, or an inert gas, especially helium.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, chaque plot comporte un trou borgne destiné à recevoir un prolongateur en forme de tenon. According to another characteristic of the invention, each stud has a blind hole intended to receive a stud-shaped extension.
L'enveloppe interne peut renfermer avantageusement un dispositif d'éclairage pour constituer un ballon éclairant à facettes. Dans ce cas, les plots de positionnement sont réalisés par moulage d'un matériau transparent, notamment en polycarbonate, pour obtenir un champ d'éclairage dépourvu de toutes zones d'ombre. The inner casing may advantageously contain a lighting device to form a faceted illuminating balloon. In this case, the positioning studs are made by molding a transparent material, in particular polycarbonate, to obtain a lighting field devoid of any shadows.

Description d'un mode particulier de réalisation. Description of a particular embodiment.
Sur les figures 1 à 4, un ballon 10 à double enveloppe est composé d'une enveloppe interne 11 gonflée par un gaz, et d'une enveloppe externe 12 en tissu souple déformable entourant l'enveloppe interne 11 avec interposition d'un espace 13 fermé. In FIGS. 1 to 4, a jacketed balloon 10 is composed of an internal envelope 11 inflated by a gas, and an outer envelope 12 of deformable flexible fabric surrounding the inner envelope 11 with the interposition of a space 13 closed.
Le gaz de remplissage de l'enveloppe interne 11 peut être plus léger que l'air, par exemple de l'hélium. On obtient alors un ballon aérostatique. L'enveloppe interne 11 gonflable est étanche, par exemple à base de polyéthylène ou tout autre matière plastique appropriée. L'orifice d'introduction de l'enveloppe interne 11 est obturé lorsque la pression interne de service est atteinte. The filling gas of the inner casing 11 may be lighter than air, for example helium. An aerostatic balloon is then obtained. The inflatable inner envelope 11 is sealed, for example based on polyethylene or any other suitable plastic material. The introduction orifice of the inner casing 11 is closed when the internal operating pressure is reached.
Le gaz de remplissage de l'enveloppe interne 11 peut aussi être de l'air. Dans ce cas, l'enveloppe interne 11 n'est pas étanche, notamment -au niveau des coutures, pour autoriser un faible échappement d'air vers l'espace intermédiaire 13. Un ventilateur ou aspirateur envoie en permanence un faible débit d'air à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe 11 pour la maintenir dans un état gonflé. Le ballon reste attaché à un mât, ou à tout autre système de fixation. The filling gas of the inner casing 11 can also be air. In this case, the inner casing 11 is not waterproof, especially at the seams, to allow a small air exhaust to the intermediate space 13. A fan or vacuum constantly sends a low air flow inside the casing 11 to keep it in an inflated state. The balloon remains attached to a mast, or other fastening system.
L'enveloppe externe 12 est réalisée à titre d'exemple par l'assemblage de fuseaux soudés les uns aux autres par thermosoudure à hautes fréquences. The outer casing 12 is made by way of example by the assembly of spindles welded to each other by high-frequency heat-sealing.
Des plots 14 de positionnement sont répartis uniformément sur la face externe de l'enveloppe interne 11, c'est-à-dire faisant saillie du côté de l'espace 13, de manière à assurer la mise en forme de l'enveloppe externe 12 lors du gonflement de l'enveloppe interne 11 jouant le rôle de vessie. Les plots 14 ont tous des structures identiques, et comportent chacun un profil sensiblement tronconique, ayant une base 15 plane et un sommet 16 légèrement bombé. Positioning studs 14 are uniformly distributed on the outer face of the inner casing 11, that is to say projecting on the side of the space 13, so as to ensure the shaping of the outer casing 12 during swelling of the inner casing 11 acting as a bladder. The studs 14 all have identical structures, and each comprise a substantially frustoconical profile, having a flat base and a slightly domed top 16.
La base 15 de chaque plot 14 est solidarisée à l'enveloppe 11, soit par collage au moyen d'un double face adhésif, soit par soudage. Dans le cas d'une enveloppe interne 11 de forme sphérique, les plots 14 s'étendent avantageusement selon une direction sensiblement radiale, de manière à obtenir une mise sous tension régulière de l'enveloppe externe 12. The base 15 of each stud 14 is secured to the envelope 11, either by bonding by means of a double-sided adhesive, or by welding. In the case of an inner casing 11 of spherical shape, the pads 14 advantageously extend in a substantially radial direction, so as to obtain a regular tensioning of the outer casing 12.
La présence des plots 14 engendre une multitude de facettes 17 sur la surface périphérique de l'enveloppe externe 12. Les facettes 17 sont planes, et présentent toutes des orientations différentes. The presence of the pads 14 generates a multitude of facets 17 on the peripheral surface of the outer casing 12. The facets 17 are flat, and all have different orientations.
Selon une variante de réalisation, la forme de l'enveloppe externe 12 peut être quelconque, notamment carrée, prismatique, elliptique, etc... Cette forme dépend du nombre et de la localisation des plots 14 sur l'enveloppe interne 11. According to an alternative embodiment, the shape of the outer envelope 12 may be arbitrary, especially square, prismatic, elliptical, etc. This form depends on the number and location of the studs 14 on the inner envelope 11.
Sur la figure 5, un prolongateur 17 en forme de tenon peut être inséré radialèment dans un trou 18 borgne d'un plot 14 pour adapter la largeur de l'espace 13 entre les deux enveloppes 11, 12. In FIG. 5, a stud-shaped extension 17 can be inserted radially into a blind hole 18 of a stud 14 to adapt the width of the space 13 between the two envelopes 11, 12.
L'espace intermédiaire 13 n'est pas étanche, et la mise sous tension de l'enveloppe externe 12 intervient exclusivement par l'effet d'expansion des plots 14 suite au gonflage de l'enveloppe interne 11. Vu de l'extérieur, le ballon 10 présente une configuration à facettes multiples. L'enveloppe extérieure 12 peut être réalisée avec un tissu translucide ou opaque. The intermediate space 13 is not tight, and the powering of the outer casing 12 occurs exclusively by the effect of expansion of the pads 14 following the inflation of the inner casing 11. Viewed from the outside, the balloon 10 has a multi-faceted configuration. The outer casing 12 can be made with a translucent or opaque fabric.
Un dispositif d'éclairage (non représenté) peut être incorporé dans l'enveloppe interne 11 pour constituer un ballon éclairant à facettes. Dans ce cas, les plots 14 sont transparents, par exemple en polycarbonate moulé, et les deux enveloppes 11, 12 sont réalisées en un matériau adapté à la diffusion du champ d'éclairage émis par le dispositif d'éclairage, lequel est constitué par au moins une ampoule électrique. A lighting device (not shown) may be incorporated in the inner casing 11 to form a faceted illuminating balloon. In this case, the pads 14 are transparent, for example molded polycarbonate, and the two envelopes 11, 12 are made of a material adapted to the diffusion of the lighting field emitted by the lighting device, which is constituted by the less a light bulb.
Le ballon 10 à facettes peut être entraîné en rotation par des moyens de commande à vitesse ajustable. The faceted balloon 10 can be rotated by adjustable speed control means.
