Definitions

  • a self-sealing valve is provided on the periphery of the two pieces.
  • the pieces are moulded or cut according to a suggestive outline, such as a sun, a heart or a flower.
  • a light emitting bulb or LED inside the balloon.
  • Different solutions have been proposed to implement such equipment, as described in US 6,482,065 or US 5,807,157.
  • the arrangement of the light emitting means is complicated and not reliable, considering in particular the trigging and disconnecting means.
  • those solutions do not provide any surprising or special lighting effect but only the effect of a simple light in a bag.
  • the invention proposes to provide a self energized emitting device able to cause a multi-reflection of the emitted light on the balloon in order to multiply the light effect, in particular a blinking effect.
  • the object of the present invention relates to an inflatable balloon containing at least one light emitting device, and obtained by welding two pieces of inelastic plastic, said pieces having a periphery outline defined around a geometric centre and provided with a self-sealed valve, wherein one of the pieces being transparent or translucent (as frosted glass or sandblasted surface) and the other substantially printed or made of coloured plastic or metallic material forming an internal reflective surface, and wherein each emitting device has a base adhering to one of the inelastic pieces and is provided with an activation/inactivation switch coupling the light emitted diodes (hereafter LEDs) with an electronic circuit energized by a battery.
  • LEDs light emitted diodes
  • the electronic circuit is a blinker circuit that yields voltage pulses to trigger successively the LEDs, preferably disposed according to a circular arrangement on a support, having an outline of any shape with no sharp edge, in particular a disc ;
  • an emitting device is located substantially on the centre of one of the pieces of inelastic material to allow an isotropic transmission of light;
  • a mask is present on or formed in said piece in order to hide the emitting device from outside;
  • - light beams emitted from the emitting device is multi- reflected by the reflective surface of the inelastic piece arranged in front of the emitting device and then re-emitted to cross the transparent inelastic piece;
  • the support on which the LEDs are arranged is curved so as to allow a larger emission of the light, in particular when re-emitted by the reflective surface;
  • a magnet is provided to maintain the balloon onto a metallic surface;
  • a self inflatable system is provided;
  • an example of inflatable balloon 10 has a light emitting device 30 attached approximately in the geometric centre 50 of the internal reflective piece 52 and provided with five LEDs 32, regularly arranged along the circumference of a disc 34. A peripheral transmission of light is then allowed.
  • the reflective piece disposed at the rear side, is of Mylar® and covered with a silver coloured metallic layer.
  • the transparent piece 53 made of plastic material (for instance polyethylene) covers the reflective piece 52 to be positioned on the front side of the picture.
  • the two pieces of inelastic material are cut and welded along their outlines 11 so as to form a heart.
  • a self sealing valve 70 is positioned at the sharp ends 12 of said heart. Such a valve is made of two thin strips 72 of flexible and transparent plastic material.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ballonnet contenant un dispositif électroluminescent (30), deux éléments soudés (52, 53) en plastique inélastique qui sont pourvus d'une soupape (70) auto-obturante. L'un (53) des éléments est transparent et l'autre élément (52) consiste sensiblement en une feuille de matière d'aluminium formant une surface réfléchissante interne. Le dispositif électroluminescent (30) comporte une base (36) qui adhère à l'élément transparent (53) et est équipé d'un commutateur (36) d'activation/inactivation couplant les diodes électroluminescentes (DEL) (32), placées sur un support (34) de disque incurvé. La base (36) est faite de deux parties (36a, 36b) formant un commutateur et d'un masque (51), placé sur l'élément transparent (53) pour cacher le dispositif électroluminescent. La base (36) est immobilisée sur la face interne de l'élément transparent (53) opposé au masque (51). Chaque DEL émet un faisceau lumineux Be qui est réfléchi sur des zones réparties de réflexion (33) de la surface (52), et les faisceaux réfléchis Br sont réémis dans un grand demi-espace entourant le ballonnet.
