Abstract

PURPOSE: To confirm the position and the form of a balloon even in the darkness when it is used, and produce the various values as a decoration in an event at night, an interia, a toy, an advertisement, and the like, by forming the balloon by mixing a luminous paint with a balloon material such as a latex. CONSTITUTION: A balloon is formed by mixing a luminous paint to a balloon material such as a latex in the forming process. When the luminous paint is mixed with the balloon material such as the latex, the balloon can be made in a marble design by the method of the mixing. The balloon formed in such a way is exposed in the sunshine or the light of a fluorescent lamp for a necessary time according to the sort of the luminous paint, before the balloon is used. As a result, the balloon emits a fluorescence in darkness by the diffused light of the luminous paint. The physiorogical influence of the luminous paint to the human body can be minimized, by forming or covering only the part of the pouring port 6 of a fluid such as the air of the balloon, the herium gas, and the water, with a material mixing no luminous paint.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a balloon which emits light in the dark so that it can be easily handled and confirmed even in the dark.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, balloons have been molded by mixing a pigment having no luminescent property into a balloon material such as latex. In addition, letters and pictures were printed on the outside of the formed balloon with non-luminous paint.

[0003]

Therefore, since it is difficult to see the position and shape in the dark, it is unsuitable for decoration of night events, interiors, toys, advertisements, and the like. The present invention was invented to solve them.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problem A balloon is molded by mixing a luminous material with a balloon material such as latex. Further, balloons are formed by laminating a film of latex or the like such that a film of latex or the like in which a luminous pigment is mixed is sandwiched between the film or the like. In addition, balloons are formed by laminating a film of latex or the like so that the luminous pigment is sandwiched between the film or a part thereof. Also, a balloon is formed by laminating a film of latex or the like mixed with a luminescent pigment on the whole or a part of the film of latex or the like. Also, a balloon is formed so that a film of latex or the like mixed with a luminescent pigment overlaps the whole or a part of the film of latex or the like. Further, a luminous pigment or a luminous paint is applied or printed on the whole or a part of the outside of the balloon. Also,
Apply or print a luminescent pigment or luminescent paint on the whole or part of the inside of the balloon.

[0005]

When the balloon formed as described above is exposed to sunlight or a fluorescent lamp before use, the balloon emits fluorescence even in the dark due to the afterglow of the luminescent pigment.

[0006]

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below. A balloon material is formed by mixing a luminescent pigment with a balloon material such as latex. Further, balloons are formed by laminating a film of latex or the like such that a film of latex or the like in which a luminous pigment is mixed is sandwiched between the film or the like. In addition, balloons are formed by laminating a film of latex or the like on the whole or part of the film so as to sandwich the luminous pigment. Also, a balloon is formed by laminating a film of latex or the like mixed with a luminescent pigment on the whole or a part of the film of latex or the like. Also, a balloon is formed so that a film of latex or the like mixed with a luminescent pigment overlaps the whole or a part of the film of latex or the like. In addition, a luminescent pigment or luminescent paint is applied or printed on the whole or a part of the inside or outside of the balloon. When sandwiching or stacking on this part, or when applying or printing on part of the inside or outside of the balloon, vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, polka dots, checks, and various other designs and letters can be applied, so it also looks It is fun and can be used as a teaching material or interior by applying the moon letter pattern and celestial stars. Since it is possible to make only the letters, marks, etc. emit fluorescence, there is also an advertising value. Also, for example, if it is a beach ball or the like, it can be used as a tool for a night ball game. When a luminescent pigment is mixed in a balloon material such as latex, a marble pattern can be formed depending on the mixing method. In addition, when laminating latex that does not mix with latex etc. containing a luminescent pigment, the durability of the latex, that is, the balloon, is reduced by mixing the pigment containing luminescent pigment. Can be covered by. Also, when mixing or sandwiching the luminescent pigment into the material of the balloon, or when applying or printing on the inside, characters or patterns may flow even if moisture such as rain adheres outdoors, or water of the luminescent pigment, etc. There is no change caused by. Before use, the balloon formed as described above is exposed to sunlight or fluorescent light for a required time depending on the type of the luminescent pigment. This causes the balloon to fluoresce in the dark due to the afterglow of the luminescent pigment. In this case, fluorescence may be emitted for several hours depending on the type of the luminescent pigment. When the luminescent pigment is vulnerable to water, acid, or alkali, the luminescent pigment powder is coated with a light-transmitting, hydrophobic, acid-resistant, and alkali-resistant coating agent, respectively. In this way, it is possible to apply or print on the outside of the balloon. In addition, by forming or covering the balloon with a material that does not contain the luminescent pigment, such as the air, helium gas, or water injection port of the balloon, the luminescent pigment or luminescent paint is also applied to that portion. By avoiding application or printing, the physiological effects on humans such as luminescent pigments can be minimized. In addition, not only one type of luminescent pigment but also a plurality of luminescent pigments and auxiliary agents can be used as required.

[0007]

By carrying out the present invention as described above, it is possible to confirm the position and shape of the balloons and the letters and patterns on the balloons when used, even in the dark, and to decorate an event at night or , A variety of values such as interiors, toys, and advertising materials will emerge.
