Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a balloon that can easily be decorated with necessary characters and designs on its surface and can be suitably used as an advertising balloon.

[Prior art and its issues] Conventional balloons are mass-produced products whose entire surface is simply colored or printed with various characters, product names, vendor names, etc. It could not be changed easily.

However, in recent years, with the diversification of tastes and demand, balloons with printing according to needs are desired. There are disadvantages in that it is time consuming and the production cost per balloon is extremely high.

To solve this problem, it has been used to moor the balloon's mooring rope with a piece of cloth or board with a message printed on it, but this method not only reduces the buoyancy force of the balloon, but also makes it difficult to use it. There was an inconvenience that the cloth, board, etc. had to be tied to the mooring rope each time, which was time-consuming.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, and the purpose is to easily provide a balloon with letters and designs as required.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The balloon according to claim 1 of this invention is formed by attaching a storage pocket to the outer wall of a bag-like material formed from a gas-impermeable and flexible film. In addition, the balloon according to claim 2 is a bag-shaped balloon in which microcapsules containing a color-forming dye and microcapsules containing a color developer are coated on the surface of a gas-impermeable and flexible film. The solution was to mold them into objects.

[Function] In the balloon according to claim 1, a gas-impermeable and flexible film is formed into a bag-like object, and a storage pocket is attached to the outer wall of the bag-like object. Since desired contents can be stored inside the balloon, a wide variety of characters and designs can be easily applied to the balloon as needed.

Further, the balloon according to claim 2 is provided by applying microcapsules containing a color-forming dye and microcapsules containing a color developer to a gas-impermeable and flexible film, and molding the film into a bag-like body. Therefore, by applying pressure to the balloon surface with a hard object such as a fingernail, the microcapsules are destroyed, and the color-forming dye and color developer contained therein are reacted to form the desired letters or designs on the balloon surface. can be displayed.

Further, in the balloon according to claim 1, the balloon can be used multiple times by removing unnecessary contents from the storage pocket after use and replacing them with other contents.

[Examples] Hereinafter, this invention will be explained in detail along with examples.

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the balloon according to claim 1 of this invention, and in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a balloon. This balloon 1 has a storage pocket 3 in a balloon body 2 made of film made into a bag shape.
is attached and moored with mooring cables 4.

The balloon body 2 is made of rubber such as gas-impermeable and flexible synthetic rubber latex, plastic film such as polyethylene film, polypropylene film, polyethylene terephthalate film, or a laminate of metal thin film such as aluminum or copper on these plastic films. It is made of metal laminated film, etc.

The storage pocket 3 is for storing and displaying contents 5 such as cloth, board, paper, etc. on which characters or designs such as messages are written, and can be placed on a part or all of an arbitrary outer wall of the balloon body 2. It is pasted.
This storage pocket 3 has an arbitrary shape and is made of a transparent or net-like material so that the contents 5 stored therein can be visually recognized from the outside, and a part of it is open so that the contents 5 can be freely inserted and removed. It's getting old. A storage pocket 3 like this is inserted into the balloon body 2.
If the balloon body 2 is made of a metal laminate film or the like and the surface area does not change significantly even when the balloon body 2 is filled with a gas such as helium, it is necessary to attach it to the shape of the storage pocket 3. Cut rubber, cloth, paper, metal laminate film, or plastic film made of cut transparent or reticulated synthetic rubber latex can be prepared and adhered to the desired surface of the balloon body 2 with an adhesive or the like. Also, the balloon body 2
If the balloon body 2 is made of rubber such as synthetic rubber latex and the surface area changes significantly when the balloon body 2 is filled with gas, cut a material similar to the balloon body 2 to fit the shape of the storage pocket 3 and use a heat sheet. It can be attached by etc. Storage pocket 3 attached in this way
As the balloon body 2 is filled with gas and the surface area of the balloon body 2 increases, the surface area of the storage pocket 3 also increases, so there is a risk that the balloon body 2 may be pulled or damaged at the attachment part. do not have. Further, in this case, even if the material constituting the balloon body 2 and the storage pocket 3 is opaque when the balloon 1 is not in use, when the balloon body 2 is filled with gas and expanded, its film thickness becomes thinner and the material forming the storage pocket 3 becomes opaque. It becomes transparent to the extent that the contents inside 3 can be visually recognized. Furthermore, since the surface area of the storage pocket 3 also increases as the surface area of the balloon body 2 increases, there is no gap between the storage pocket 3 and the balloon body 2, so that the contents 5 stored in the storage pocket 3 are not lost. There's nothing to do.

In the case of such a balloon 1, the desired contents 5 can be stored in the storage pocket 3 and the contents 5 can be visually recognized from the outside, so that, for example, if a business card, store advertisement, product catalog, etc. This makes it possible to easily supply small lots of balloons, which conventionally required very high costs and a long time to supply. Furthermore, by replacing the contents 5, the balloon 1 can be used multiple times instead of being disposable, and various designs can be given to the balloon 1.

Furthermore, if a message card with a personal message written thereon, a gift, or the like is accommodated as the contents 5, it can be used as a gift balloon with a message attached.

(Example 2) The balloon according to claim 2 of this invention is a film coated with microcapsules containing a color-forming dye and microcapsules containing a color developer, which is formed into a bag-like body. .

As this film, as used in the balloon according to claim 1, rubber made of synthetic rubber latex or the like, plastic film such as polyethylene film, polypropylene film, polyethylene terephthalate film, etc., or a metal thin film such as aluminum or copper on these plastic films can be used. A gas-impermeable and flexible film such as a laminated metal laminate film can be used. The surface of this film contains microcapsules containing color-forming dye,
Microcapsules containing a color developer are coated. The color-forming dye has a color-forming reaction with a color developer, and is, for example, an electron-donating organic compound such as a triarylmethane compound or a diphenylmethane compound. The color developer that causes the color-forming dye to develop color is, for example, an electron acceptor compound composed of a phenol resin and its derivatives, an aromatic carboxylic acid and its derivatives, and the like.

Such balloons are made by dissolving the above-mentioned color-forming dye and developer separately in a solvent and encapsulating them separately, and then applying a silk screen or the like to the above-mentioned gas-impermeable and flexible film. Apply by ordinary printing means etc. Next, the film coated with microcapsules is cut into a desired shape, and then a bag-like body is obtained by heat sealing, adhesive, or other bonding means to obtain the balloon of this invention.

This balloon is colorless because the color-forming dye and color developer are contained in separate microcapsules, but when in use, applying pressure to the surface with the tip of a fingernail or pen will cause the film surface to change. The applied microcapsules are destroyed, and the color-forming dye and color developer are mixed to form a color, so that desired letters and designs can be easily applied to the balloon.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the balloon according to claim 1 of this invention has a storage pocket attached to the outer wall of a bag-like object formed from a gas-impermeable and flexible film. Therefore, depending on the contents stored in the storage pocket, it is possible to easily supply small lots of balloons with a wide variety of characters and designs as required. Furthermore, since the characters and designs written on the contents can be used as part of the balloon design, the balloon design can be easily changed. Furthermore, by exchanging the contents, balloons that were conventionally considered disposable can be used multiple times.

Furthermore, if a message card with a personal message written thereon, a gift, or the like is stored in the storage pomtu, it can be used as a gift balloon with a message attached.

Further, the balloon according to claim 2 is provided by applying microcapsules containing a color-forming dye and microcapsules containing a color developer to the surface of a gas-impermeable and flexible film, and then forming the balloon into a bag-like object. Since it is a molded product, by rubbing the surface of the balloon with the tip of a pen or the like when using it, desired letters or designs can be highlighted, making it possible to provide small lots of balloons quickly and inexpensively. In addition, customers can easily add letters and designs to their preferences after purchasing the balloons.
It can also be used as a toy.
