TOY BALLQOIGL Specification of letters l'ratcnt. Preteen-laced App, 2'2, 155%}15.
Application filed se r-malaria", 191i. lieriel No. seaasi.
To all whom it may concern Y Be it known that I, FERDINAND F. Becomes, a citizen-of the United States, residing at Akron, in. the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain" new and useful improvements in Toy Balicons. of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to toy balicons and pertains more specifically to that type of balloons Which is inflated by blow ing air through a mouth-piece and can he deflated at will by allowing the air to escape from the same.
The principal object of the invention con sists in applying to a balloon of this type an improved form of valve mechanism 'l'or maintaining the air within the balloon when the latter is in its inflated condition and also for controllin the escape of the air as the balloon is demoted.
A. further object consists in providing a detachable thimhle shaped cup or shell adapted to be inserted and retained in the. mouth piece of the balloon and having at its inner end a small check valve.
With these and other objects in View, the
invention consists in the construction and combination of parts more fully described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings: Figure 1. is a central sectional view through the balloon in its inflated condition. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the balloon deflated. Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the valve mechanism detached and, Fig. 4i is an enlarged longitudinal section of a modified. form-of the valve mechanism. 5 is an enlarged plan viewof the valve illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3.
Referring to the drawings, the balloon comprises a hollow body B of thin rubber F of pure quality and extreme elasticity, which will permit of its being inflated. and being expanded to many times its normal size. T -e balloon B in its normal deflated condition is preferably oi elliptical form and is provided with 'a tubular neck or mouthpiece C extending from one end and in substantial alinemcnt with its longer axis as shown in Fig. 2. The valve mechanism which is adapted to be inserted in the neck piece C comprises a cup shaped member 1 open at its outer end and. having a small valve port 2 at its inner end adapted to he closed by a small check valve 3. The outer end of the neck piece C of the balloon is provided with a reinforcing ring a. The
malls of thecup shaped member 1 taper inwarrlly toward the inner end of the neck C. Referring now more particularly to Figs.
valve mechanism is formed of a single piece of rubber comprising the cup-shaped 1nember'l and. the check valve 3 which is vertually a small flap valve adapted to close the port 2. Zlhe cup-shapecl member 1 is insortedv in the mouth piece of the balloon and cemented therein. 'lhecop member 1 can he formed of .uloid or papicr-xnache or any other material suliiciently light and yet of proper stillness to holdthe mouth piece G of the balloon open. l n this form of the invention, the inner valve port .2 of the cop shaped shell is provided. with a small roleher tack valve l loosely held Within the valve port. When the cup member is formed of time material it is not necessary to cement the same in the mouth piece' of the-balloon for it can he easily inserted and will be retained there, the outer ring 0 tending to hold it against outward movement and the conical wedgeshaped formation. of its Walls tending. to hold it against imvarrl move-- ment.
ln hoth towns or? the invention the valve after -the balloon has once m. inflated is held closed loy the pressure oi the air With-- in and in order to dolletc the balloon it is only necessary to squeeze the neck a near its inner end so as to slightly dislodge either the valve or as the case may be. This form of valve mechanism tends to keep the Walls of the mouth piece 6 always in a distended condition.
It anything should lia 'ipen to the valve the shell (souls. easily be removed in its eutirety and replaced by a new one.
What I claim is:
1. A, toy balloon having a tubular neck or mouth-piece integral therewith. a conical cup-shaped inemoer adapted to be inserted Ill mouth iec, a q lz gmhapedi member having In testimbny whereof I aifix my signamwa r' yin ermg walls, smd member betux-e 1n presence of two witnesses.
