Definitions
- the present invention relates to a balloon bulb, and more particularly to a device that is able to dispose a LED in a balloon and make it light.
- the primary object in accordance with the present invention is to provide a balloon bulb, which includes a LED disposed at an end of a cylinder, and then inserts the cylinder in the mouth of a balloon and tightens the junction between the mouth of the balloon and the cylinder. Another end of the cylinder, via which, the user can blow the balloon up, so as to create a balloon bulb.
- the cylinder is equipped with battery and provided with a knob at the bottom thereof. When rotating the knob to make the battery contact the LED, the LED will light. Thus, the balloon can emit colorful lights and it will be very nice looking at night.
- Fig. 1 is a cross sectional view of a balloon bulb in accordance with the present invention
- Fig. 2 is an operational view of the balloon bulb in accordance with the present invention.
- a balloon bulb in accordance with one aspect of the present invention includes a small cylinder 1, in a top surface of which is inserted a LED (light emitting diode) 2, a lower portion of the cylinder 1 is hollow and an inner periphery of which is formed with threads for meshing with a knob 3.
- a LED light emitting diode
- the middle inner space of the cylinder 1 is partitioned into a lower space and an upper space by a spacer 11 (printed circuit board).
- the upper space serves to receive a negative and a positive terminal of the LED 2.
- the negative terminal 21 is inserted through the spacer 11 so as to be connected to negative pole of a battery below the spacer 11, while the positive terminal 22 is connected with a resistor 23, after that, it is connected to a metal ring 112 (or a metal circuit in a printed circuit board) after inserting through the spacer 11.
- An upper and a lower battery 13 are disposed below the spacer 11.
- the upper battery is wrapped with a thermoplastic sleeve 15 and then a metal spring 12 is used to wrap the two batteries, and finally they are wrapped by another thermoplastic sleeve 16 again.
- the metal spring 12 uses a lower end to wind around the metal housing (positive pole) of the lower battery, and an upper end of the spring 12 can contact the metal ring 112. By such arrangements, the positive terminal 22 can contact the positive pole of the lower battery.
- the knob 3 is provided at the top surface with a protrusion 31.
- the protrusion 31 will push the lower battery upward, so as to make the negative pole of the upper battery abut closely against the negative terminal 21 and make the upper end of the metal spring 12 abut closely against the metal ring 112.
- the LED will light. If the knob 3 is loosened, the elastic force of the metal spring 12 will enforce the negative pole of the upper battery to disconnect from the negative terminal 21, such that the LED will not light.
- the cylinder 1 above the spacer 11 is formed on the sidewall with plural apertures 14, the spacer 11 is formed with plural apertures 111, and the knob 3 is also formed at the top surface with plural apertures 32.
- the air will be blown out through the apertures 32, 111, 14.
- An outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 1 is covered with a layer of elastic rubber skin 4 which closely cover the apertures 14 when the user does not blow.
- the air will be blown out through the apertures 32, 111, 14 and pushes the elastic rubber skin 4 open to leak air.
- the apertures 32, 111, 14 and the elastic rubber skin 4 also can be omitted.
- the user can inserts the cylinder 1 instantly in the mouth of the balloon 5 after the balloon 5 is inflated up, and then tightens the junction between the cylinder 1 and the mouth of the balloon.
- the balloon bulb in accordance with the present invention is also formed.
