A balloon can maintain a bent state even if a bent state-holding member is not used. A balloon includes two plastic films that are stacked and sealed at a peripheral edge. The balloon includes a first part, a second part, and a bending part that is situated between the first part and the second part. The bending part includes a gas passage through which the interior of the first part and the interior of the second part communicate with each other, and a bending sealed part that is formed by sealing the two plastic films situated opposite to each other in an inward area relative to the peripheral edge. An outer edge of the bending sealed part extends beyond the bending part so as to be situated within the first part and the second part.

A balloon gun comprising a hollow cylindrical body, one or more hand grips attached to the cylindrical body, a release trigger pivotally mounted on one of the hand grips or on the hollow cylindrical body and a balloon attaching mechanism. A balloon inflated with a fluid can be inserted inside the hollow cylindrical body and the inflated balloon is held by the balloon attaching mechanism. When the trigger is pressed the neck of the inflated balloon gets released from the balloon attaching mechanism and by the difference in fluid pressure that exists between the inside and outside of the balloon, the fluid rushes out of the balloon once the neck gets released from the balloon attaching mechanism and the force of the fluid coming out of the inflated balloon pushes the balloon forward and the balloon flies till the fluid pressures inside and outside of the balloon get equalized.

An inflatable display with dynamic lighting effect has an inflatable body, an air pump inflating the inflatable body, and a lighting assembly mounted inside the inflatable body for providing dynamic lighting variations. The lighting assembly has a light housing, a power supply, a lighting module, and a refracting module mounted in the light housing. The lighting module and the refracting module rotate relative to each other. As light beams emitted from the lighting module pass through the refracting module, the light beams are mixed and refracted. With relative rotation of the lighting module and the refracting module, the light beams can project outwards to further penetrate through the inflatable body at different angles covering a large area to form the dynamic lighting variations and to exhibit the dynamic lighting effect.

A spotlight includes a housing defining an interior space and having an open front, the housing including a cover mounted to the open front, the cover being substantially transparent or translucent; a motor located in the interior space of the housing, the motor including an output shaft; a light module located in the interior space of the housing, the light module having multiple light units facing toward the cover, wherein the output shaft of the motor projects through the light module. The spotlight further includes a first lens mounted on the light module, wherein the output shaft of the motor projects through the first lens; and a second lens mounted to the output shaft of the motor, wherein rotation of the output shaft of the motor rotates the second lens with respect to the first lens and the light module. Other embodiments and features are also described.

The present invention relates to a retractable inflatable product, including an inflatable body as well as a gas charging device communicated with the inflatable body and used to charge the inflatable body with gas, further including: a wire positioning component, at least one wire, and a pay-off and take-up device which is connected to at least one end of the wire and pays off or takes up the wire through the wire positioning component. The wire positioning component is formed by a plurality of hollow annular elements disposed on the inner wall of the inflatable body. The present invention realizes automatic or manual retraction and tightening by providing a wire positioning component inside the inflatable body and passing a wire through the hollow annular elements so that the wire can be paid off or taken up through the pay-off and take-up device.
