AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, a disadvantage associated with these devices is that once they are installed in a balloon, the direction of their light is relatively difficult to control
For example, when the device is at rest inside the balloon, the point of light may be located below the device, which means that the emitted light cannot be directed in a way suitable for illuminating the entire balloon
[0007]These devices also typically require the use of O-rings to hold them in place within the balloon, making them relatively complex to insert and use

Embodiment Construction

[0027] The following description relates to a self-leveling lighting device adapted to be inserted into a typical novelty balloon well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. The balloon can take various shapes when inflated. The inflated balloon is characterized by providing a large balloon volume main 'cavity', and a neck through which the balloon lumen is filled with air or other suitable gas.

[0028] The device provides enough light to illuminate the 'cavity' of the balloon so that it can be easily seen in relatively dark environments, such as outdoors at night.

[0029] The device is designed to be fully inserted inside the balloon via the neck of the balloon. Typically, the device is intended to be disposable, ie to be used once, since it is suitable to be manufactured at a relatively low cost.

[0030] see figure 1 , depicts an external view of a device 1 according to the invention. The housing of the device consists of an upper part 2 and a lower part 3 . Pr...

Abstract

An illumination device for insertion entirely inside a typical novelty balloon or the like, said device including: an outer casing having a lower and an upper component and having a substantially spherical or ovoid overall shape, capable of rolling through at least one full revolution on a flat surface; a power source mounted inside said outer casing; and a light generator connected to said power source and mounted inside said outer casing such that light generated by said generator is directed substantially through said upper component; wherein the centre of gravity of said device is located within said lower component of said outer casing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of novel articles manufactured in large quantities. In particular, the invention relates to an improved lighting device suitable for illuminating a balloon from the inside. Background technique [0002] In the field of novelties, especially when used outdoors at festivals, parties, etc., a very popular item is the helium or air balloon. These balloons can be used as decorations or are often held by children, as well as toys or promotional tools. [0003] It has recently been found that by illuminating the balloon from the inside with suitable lighting equipment, the attractiveness of these items can be greatly enhanced, especially for indoor or evening events. [0004] The lighting device includes a light source which is partially insertable through the neck of the balloon and which effectively seals the neck of the balloon. These light sources include electric lamps. [0005] However, these devices tend t...
