The lighting device provided in the rubber balloon according to the present invention largely houses a battery and a light emitting diode and is located inside the balloon, and is located outside the balloon and is coupled to the above-described housing to fix the housing inside the balloon. It can be divided into a fixing member, and looking at each component in more detail through the drawings exemplified below are as follows.

First, the housing 100,

As illustrated in FIG. 1, it is in the form of a container having an accommodating part therein, and a plurality of batteries 300 are accommodated in this accommodating part.

The material of the housing 100 is a material having an insulating function, and may be made of a transparent or opaque synthetic resin.

A light emitting diode (LED: Light Emitting Diode) 400 is installed under the housing 100, and the first lead wire of the light emitting diode 400 passes through the lower bottom of the housing 100 and is located in the receiving part. ) Is directly connected to the (-) ground part, and the second lead wire of the light-emitting diode 400 extends along the outer side of the housing 100 and then through a through hole formed on the outer side of the housing 100 toward the inside. It is moved to the receiving part inside the housing 100 and connected to the (+) ground part of the battery 300.

As another example, the second lead wire may penetrate the lower bottom surface of the housing 100, extend upward along the inner side of the housing 100, and then be connected to the (+) ground portion of the battery 300.

As another example, the second lead wire is bent outward along the lower bottom surface of the housing 100, and then moves upward while penetrating the inside of the side surface of the housing 100, and then exits again to the (+) contact of the battery 300. You may also be connected to the branch.

In addition, the second lead wire may be partially wrapped with an insulator to prevent unnecessary short circuits.

Here, a plurality of the batteries 300 form a multi-layered contact surface to energize each other, and the light emitting diodes 400 connected to the battery 300 emit light through power supply from the battery 300.

At this time, one end of the insulating tab 600 is inserted between the batteries 300 facing each other, so that the power of the battery 300 is supplied to the light emitting diode 400 by the insulating tab 600 before the lighting device is used. By preventing the battery 300 from being consumed, unnecessary power consumption of the battery 300 can be prevented.

Therefore, by forming a fitting hole on the outer side of the housing 100 and bending the upper end of the insulating tab 600 in an erect state to be fitted with such a fitting hole, the vertically bent portion of the insulating tab 600 By being inserted between any one of the multi-layered battery 300 in the receiving part inside the housing 100, the batteries 300 connected to each other while forming a multi-layer are insulated by the bent part of the top of the insulating tab 600. In this way, as the top of the insulating tab 600 is bent and inserted between the batteries 300, it may be prevented from being unnecessarily separated.

In addition, as the lower end of the insulating tab 600 maintains a state drawn out of the hot air balloon 500, air, etc., is injected into the hot air balloon 500 and drawn out to the outside of the hot air balloon 500 at the time of use of the lighting device. When the lower end of the insulating tab 600 is pulled, the upper bent portion of the insulating tab 600 is separated between the batteries 300, so that the power of the battery 300 is supplied to the light emitting diode 400 and the light emitting diode 400 Is to emit light inside the hot air balloon 500 for a certain period of time.

The housing 100 is not an integral type, but is configured so that the receiving part can be opened and closed by a cover as needed. When the battery 300 is discharged, the cover is opened to remove the discharged battery 300 and a new battery 300 It can be reused by closing the cover after replacing it with.

The housing 100 is located inside the rubber balloon 500 and is fixed to the upper inner surface of the rubber balloon 500, and for this purpose, a fixing member 200 to be described later is provided with the housing 100 from the outside of the rubber balloon 500. As coupled, the housing 100 may be suspended inside the upper side of the hot air balloon 500.

As an example in which the housing 100 and the fixing member 200 are coupled, a fitting groove 111 is formed on the upper side of the housing 100, and the fixing member 200, which will be described later, is configured to be coupled to the fitting groove 111. In this case, the coupling between each other may be in a detachable form, but it is preferable that the housing 100 and the fixing member 200 are firmly fixed in a force-fitting manner.

The fitting groove 111 may be configured to be recessed downward from the upper surface of the housing 100, and the protrusion 110 is formed to protrude from the upper side of the housing 100 as in the embodiment of the present invention. A fitting groove 111 may be formed at the center of the protrusion 110 while having a predetermined depth toward the inside.

The protrusion 110 may be configured in a vertical cylindrical shape, and a fitting groove 111 may be formed at the center of the upper surface to have a predetermined depth toward the inside, and such protrusion 110 may be formed in a polygonal shape as well as a cylindrical shape. Can be transformed into.

The fitting groove 111 may be coupled to the fixing member 200 to be described later in various forms as the inner circumferential surface facing the inside is formed in a straight shape, an inclined shape, or a concave-convex shape.

The fixing member 200,

The housing 100 is fitted and coupled with the fitting groove 111 formed on the protrusion of the above-described housing 100, and the housing 100 is fitted from the outside of the rubber balloon 500 with respect to the housing 100 located inside the rubber balloon 500. As it is coupled to the groove 111 serves to fix the housing 100 in the inside of the rubber balloon 500.

The shape of the fixing member 200 does not need to be set to any one, and may be configured to be selectively coupled by being inserted into the fitting groove 111, or forcibly fitted and fixed as in the embodiment of the present invention.

When the fixing member 200 is selectively coupled to the fitting groove 111, the coupling and separation of the fixing member 200 and the fitting groove 111 are determined according to the user's selection, and the fixing member 200 in the fitting groove 111 ) Means that it is configured to be detached through the detachment means.

However, since the rubber balloon 500 is generally a one-time consumable product, it is preferable that the fixing member 200 is forcibly fitted into the fitting groove 111 and fixed so as not to be separated.

In an embodiment in which the fixing member 200 is forcibly fitted into the fitting groove 111 and fixed, the fitting groove 111 is the protrusion 110 of the housing 100 as illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B. It is configured to be recessed in a spherical shape toward the inside, and the fixing member 200 may be configured in the shape of a sphere corresponding to the fitting groove 111 so as to be forcibly fitted and fixed in the spherical shape.

Here, the open inlet 111a of the fitting groove 111 may be located above the center of the spherical fixing member 200 when the spherical fixing member 200 is completely inserted into the fitting groove 111. It is formed to extend so that the diameter of the inlet 111a is smaller than the center diameter of the spherical fixing member 200, so that when the spherical fixing member 200 is inserted into the inlet 111a of the fitting groove 111, the entrance As (111a) is opened through its own elasticity according to the characteristics of the material, the spherical fixing member 200 is inserted into the fitting groove 111, and the spherical fixing member 200 is inserted into the fitting groove ( When completely fitted into 111, the opening (111a) that was opened is restored to its original state, and the spherical fixing member 200 fitted into the fitting groove (111) by the smaller inlet (111a) is not removed.

Therefore, after inserting the housing 100 into the rubber balloon 500 and moving it upward, the fixing member 200 is inserted into the fitting groove 111 of the housing 100 from the upper outside of the rubber balloon 500 to be coupled. When a part of the surface of the rubber balloon 500 is positioned between the fitting groove 111 and the fixing member 200, the housing 100 is fixed in a suspended state on the inner upper side of the rubber balloon 500. At this time, the housing 100 ), the lower part of the insulating tab 600 is pulled out of the inlet of the hot air balloon 500, so that if necessary, it can be pulled and used.

On the other hand, in another embodiment of the fitting groove 111 and the fixing member 200, as illustrated in (a) and (b) of FIG. 3, the fitting groove 111 is formed from the protrusion of the housing 100 toward the inside. It is configured to be recessed into a shape, and the fixing member 200 may be configured in a shape of a sphere corresponding to the fitting groove 111 so that the fixing member 200 is forcibly fitted and fixed in the spherical shape, and at this time, the entrance of the fitting groove 111 is at the upper side. A plurality of protrusions 111b facing each other are formed on the inner circumference of the inlet extending while extending to.

Therefore, since the distance between the facing protrusions 111b is smaller than the center diameter of the spherical fixing member 200, when the spherical fixing member 200 is inserted into the fitting groove 111, the facing protrusions 111b As the size of the inlet 111a becomes smaller than the center diameter of the spherical fixing member 200, the spherical fixing member 200 fitted into the fitting groove 111 is caught by the protrusion 111b.

In this state, when the spherical fixing member 200 is further pressed in the direction of the fitting groove 111, the inlet 111a is opened through its own elasticity according to the characteristics of the material, and thus the spherical shape into the inside of the fitting groove 111 When the fixing member 200 is inserted and the spherical fixing member 200 is completely inserted in the fitting groove 111, the opening 111a is restored to its original state, and at this time, the protrusion 111b is fixed in a spherical shape. As the member 200 is positioned above the center, the spherical fixing member 200 fitted in the fitting groove 111 may be prevented from being separated by the protrusion 111b.

In this way, when the fixing member 200 is inserted into the fitting groove 111 provided in the protrusion 110 of the housing 100 together with a part of the surface of the rubber balloon 500, the fixing member 200 is inserted into the fitting groove 111 As the fixing member 200 does not protrude from the surface of the rubber balloon 500 when the rubber balloon 500 is viewed from the outside, when air is injected into the rubber balloon 500 and inflated, the rubber balloon ( 500) will form a spherical shape similar to the actual shape without protruding parts on the surface.

Meanwhile, the present invention may further add functionality to the rubber balloon 500 by using the fixing member 200.

Although not illustrated in the drawings, for example, a connection groove is formed on the upper side of the fixing member 200, and the lower end of the connection rod of a predetermined length is inserted into the connection groove to be fixed, and a decorative member, a display member, or a lighting member, etc. is attached to the upper end of the connection rod. Can be installed.

Here, the lighting member may be composed of an object coated with a luminous material, a light emitting diode operated by a battery, or an object having a lighting function by emitting light while the light emitting diode operated by the battery is accommodated therein.

In addition, the decorative member may be composed of various types of decorative props or objects such as dolls and toys capable of expressing a specific image.

In addition, the display member may be configured while forming one shape by combining one or a plurality of letters, symbols, images, or numbers for direction, location, description, guidance, and the like.

In addition, the display member may be configured in the form of an input board provided with an input area so that characters, symbols, images, or numbers for direction, location, description, guidance, etc. can be input in one or a combination.

In the present invention, in fixing the lighting device therein, the number of parts for manufacturing the lighting device is small and manufacture is easy as the fixing member is accommodated and coupled to the inside of the housing together with the surface of the rubber balloon. And the assembly of the fixing member is also simple and quick, and after the fixing member is assembled to the housing, the fixing member does not protrude from the surface of the rubber balloon, so that the unique shape of the rubber balloon can be maintained and used.
