A method of using a vent balloon by removably adhering an inflatable body of the vent balloon through a base to an air vent, flowing air through the inflatable body, and inflating the inflatable body. A vent balloon for dispersing scent in a room, including an inflatable body operatively attached to a base on a proximal side, a removable adhesive attached to a distal side of the base for attaching to an air vent, and at least one scent mechanism operatively attached to the vent balloon for dispersing scent in the room. A method of dispersing scent in a room using the vent balloon.

A pneumatically switched balloon light comprises a balloon body which has an air inlet; a battery case located in the balloon body, wherein the battery case is provided with two adjacent batteries and an LED light connected with the batteries; a shield body located in the air inlet, wherein one end of the shield body is removably connected with the battery case, and the other end is made with a breather hole; a valve cover arranged in the shield body and separated from the breather hole; and an insulating piece, one end of which is fixedly connected with the valve cover, and the other end is inserted between the batteries; and the shield body is made with the breather hole for the air intake and discharge, and the shield body and the battery case can be directly fixed in the balloon body.

This disclosure falls within the field of inflatable balloons and refers to a self-sealing inflatable balloon (1) comprising a lateral flap (3) connected to a neck (2), forming a single structure, where the end of the lateral flap (3) is covered with an adhesive coating (5), protected by a removable protective strip (4), applied over its full length, and where the aforesaid protective strip (4) is removed by the user during its use by extracting the applicable section 4(b), thereby allowing for the complete sealing of the balloon, in a practical, fast, effective manner.

A play apparatus has a gas filled balloon and an opening through which fluid is squirted or otherwise released. Fluid is delivered to the opening from an adjacent or nearby reservoir which is connected to at least one hollow tube whereby liquid is transferred from the reservoir to the release point on or adjacent to the balloon, such that the buoyancy of the balloon is unimpeded, for the purposes of play and amusement.

Provided are a balloon vending machine that can provide an impactful state where the balloon purchaser can participate in a production process of a balloon and the balloon body expands to break and open the balloon case, and further that can reuse the balloon case as a handle, and a balloon to be sold by the balloon vending machine. Below the gas injection part 26 of the balloon vending machine 10, a gas injection device is disposed that expands the balloon body 24 stored in a folded state in the balloon case. The gas injection device is mounted with a gas injection nozzle. Further, a valve lock plate is disposed in the nozzle mover. The balloon includes a balloon body, a balloon case storing the balloon body, a balloon valve, and a string connecting the balloon body with the balloon case.

A method of forming a self-sealing balloon by applying an adhesive to a balloon form, then applying material to the balloon form to create the balloon. The adhesive is applied forming an annular adhesive ring. The adhesive can be applied using a fiberization process. The balloon form can be rotated during the adhesive application process. The adhesive can be encapsulated within an adhesive staging segment formed within a neck segment of the balloon. Airflow can be directed to the interface between an unfinished lip of the balloon material and the surface of the balloon form to aid in at least one of a forming process and a release process. The adhesive ring can be at least partially encapsulated within an adhesive staging segment of the balloon neck segment.

A balloon holder and balloon holder base for holding a balloon having a tail, including a securing element having flexible biased opposing projections bounding an elongated channel opening, an elongate member insertable into an opening in the tail of the balloon such that a first portion of said elongate member abuts a tapered self-closing bladder, creating an overlapping elongate member and balloon tail section, and a support element configured to be in contact with and support the inflated balloon, wherein the balloon is secured to the elongate member by transversely passing the overlapping elongate member and balloon tail section through the elongated channel opening and held in place by the projections.

A system and method for simultaneously inflating a plurality of balloons with pressurized gas issuing from a pressurized gas supply, each balloon being releasably or permanently attached to an inflation conduit which serves to duct gas from the gas supply to its respective balloon, and each balloon having an associated valve to control the release of gas from inside the balloon when connected and/or disconnected from its associated balloon.

The present disclosure provides a lighting device for use with inflatable products, such as balloons. Specifically, the lighting device may be configured to utilize external audio to produce a pattern of light corresponding with the external audio. The lighting device is able to couple to a balloon to light up the interior of the balloon without the significant loss of gas or other inflating fluid from the balloon.

The present invention provides a balloon containment device comprising a central portion having a diameter larger than the diameter of the narrowest part of an expanded opening portion of a balloon. An elongate external retainer extends from the central portion toward a proximate end to the balloon opening portion and having a length enabled for placement of the central portion, extending through a neck portion of the balloon opening portion. An elongate internal retainer extends from the central portion, and toward a distal end from the balloon opening portion, and having a length designed for placement inside of the balloon. Wherein when the balloon is inflated, the central portion is held against the neck portion by manipulation of the external retainer.
