Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(1) With the above and other related objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

(2) FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the present invention.

(3) FIG. 2 is a view of a first side of an interior mechanism of one embodiment of the present invention.

(4) FIG. 3 is a view of a second side of the interior mechanism of one embodiment of the present invention seen in FIG. 2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(5) Referring now to the drawings, the present invention is a device for blowing out celebration candles and is generally referred to with numeral 10. It can be observed that it basically includes outer casing 20, trigger assembly 30, spring 40, cogwheel assembly 50, impellor 70, and inner casing 80.

(6) As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, outer casing 20 is in a form of a character or toy shape commonly used in the industry. Outer casing 20 comprises opening 22 for air to exit the exterior. Character or toy shapes may be dragons, dogs, etc. Present invention 10 comprises trigger assembly 30, which protrudes from outer casing 20. An interior mechanism includes inner casing 80 and trigger assembly 30. Inner casing 80 comprises tube 82, cover 86, holes 88, screws 90, seen in FIG. 3, and ventilation holes 92. Inner casing 80 is attached to outer casing 20. Tube 82 comprises holes 84. Holes 84 allow to secure inner casing 80 to outer casing 20, whereby holes 84 receive respective screws, not seen, which anchors and stabilizes inner casing 80 to outer casing 20. Inner casing 80 further comprises support structure 94 to secure inner casing 80 inside outer casing 20. Ventilation holes 92 are around impellor 70. Ventilation holes 92 allow air flow.

(7) Outer casing 20 is large enough to fit the mechanism inside of it, but small enough to be held in a child's hand. It should further be noted that materials common to the industry such as polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene, EVA, etc.), styrene derived polymers (PS, ABS, SB, etc.) and plasticized PVC or any other materials common to the industry can be used in manufacturing the device of present invention 10, as well as any method common in the industry for manufacturing and/or fastening of such parts. The most complete form of performing the method associated with the disclosed device consists of the following steps using a handheld mechanical devise to blow out celebratory candles. It should further be noted that: this includes the use of a mechanical fan.

(8) As seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, trigger assembly 30 comprises trigger 32, upper structure 34, and toothed half wheel 36. Upper structure 34 is attached to trigger 32 and defines toothed half wheel 36 and hook 39. Spring 40 comprises first end 42 and second end 44 having first loop 46 and second loop 48 respectively. Spring 40 is attached to trigger assembly 30 and inner casing 80. First end 42 of spring 40 is attached to upper structure 34 and second end 44 is attached to inner casing 80, whereby first loop 46 is attached to hook 39 and second loop 48 is attached to pin 98. Toothed half wheel 36 is opposite to grip 38 of trigger 32. Cogwheel assembly 50 comprises first cogwheel 52, second cogwheel 54, and third cogwheel 56. Toothed half wheel 36 is positioned next to first cogwheel 52. Toothed half wheel 36 meets teeth 58 of first cogwheel 52. First cogwheel 52 interlocks with second cogwheel 54 and third cogwheel 56. Cover 86 is positioned over cogwheel assembly 50. In a preferred embodiment, cover 86 is secured by screws 90. Impellor 70 comprises impellor cogwheel 72 and shaft 74. Inner casing 80 surrounds impellor 70 with spring 40 and trigger assembly 30 attached.

(9) Trigger 32 is pulled inward causing toothed half wheel 36 to engage first cogwheel 52 and stretching spring 40. Trigger 32 is released and spring 40 contracts returning trigger 32 to prime position. First cogwheel 52 turns second cogwheel 54, which is a floating gear, allowing it to detach from teeth 58 and 60 of surrounding cogwheels 52 and 56, respectively, and reposition itself without disrupting the motion of surrounding cogwheels 52 and 56. The floating gear or second cogwheel 54 turns third cogwheel 56, which engages impellor 70, specifically impellor cogwheel 72. Impellor 70 turns creating air flow. Impellor cogwheel 72 is fixedly mounted to shaft 74. The air is propelled out of inner casing 80. The air from impellor 70 is pushed through tube 82 and outs from tube opening 96, which aligns with opening 22 in outer casing 20, seen in FIG. 1.

(10) The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
