Benefits of technology

[0006] The invention is directed to a device for discharging simultaneously a plurality of small streamers using a plastic envelope which is inflated by the blowing into an inflation tube and then squeezing with hand pressure the envelope to fracture a closure member allowing the enclosed air pressure to throw the streamers high into the air. For a device of this type to be considered an effective alternative to the individually thrown paper streamers, it is important that the device function to cause the streamers to fully deploy or unroll and that they are projected well away from the user and to a reasonable elevation on the order of eight to fifteen feet. In the present invention this objective is accomplished by controlling

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The present invention involves an improvement over the above cited Cheng patents directed to hand held devices for discharging or expelling confetti from a pressurized envelope. There are many problems associated with confetti which have caused the public to essentially abandon the use of confetti at weddings and other celebrations. These problems involve safety, clean-up and the staining of floors and clothes by the colored pieces of confetti. While the use of streamers at such celebrations represents a suitable alternative, the conventional individual hand held paper streamer causes safety concerns when thrown and is generally inconvenient to handle because of the large size of each individual streamer.

[0021] Accordingly there have been marketed some small hand held devices which expel a plurality of small streamers by the use firecracker-like devices. These devices have not been favorably received because of safety concerns and the fact that they fail to satisfactorily de...

Abstract

A device for launching a plurality of party streamers using an air inflated envelope which is manually compressed to expel the streamers which are randomly disposed in a pocket in the envelope, the streamers being spirally wound with a weighted inner end and an unrolled outer end.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] The invention relates generally to a device for providing multiple streamers of the type used at celebrations such as New Years Eve, birthday parties and wedding receptions, and specifically relates to hand held devices for expelling a plurality of plastic streamers simultaneously high into the air. [0002] The use of rolled paper streamers at celebrations such as New Year's Eve and weddings is old and well known. Each streamer is a rolled paper strip, the roll being a few inches in diameter. These streamers are typically hurled into the air while holding one end of the streamer so that it unrolls as it arcs away from the thrower. The unrolled streamer creates an exciting visual effect as it drops across those participating in the celebration. The proper throwing of the streamer to achieve complete unrolling requires a level of skill often not acquired until after many attempts. Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide streamers that may be consist...
