Description
VISUAL DISPLAY AND METHOD OF PROVIDING A VISUAL DISPLAY
This invention relates to visual displays and more particularly to visual displays, and methods of providing visual displays, which are particularly adapted to be used for seasonal displays such as for Christmas. More particularly, this invention relates to visual displays which include an outer inflatable member, an inner inflatable member and flakes movable in an annular direction in the space between the inner and outer inflatable members.
BACKGROUND OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Visual displays are provided on a seasonal basis to celebrate the season.
For example, visual displays may be disposed in a family home during the Christmas season to enhance the appearance of the season in the home and to celebrate the season. Although popular, the visual displays now in use have a limited appeal. It would be desirable to provide a visual display which has an advanced aesthetic and sophistication and which represents a particular season (e.g., Christmas) on a more fulfilling basis than the visual displays of the prior art.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
OF THE INVENTION
Outer and inner inflatable members and a motor assembly including a fan are disposed on a base member. Air provided under pressure by the motor assembly including the fan passes through vents in the base member to inflate the inflatable members. Flakes are disposed in the space between the inflatable members. One vent, larger than the others, provides for the flakes to be lifted upwardly from the base member by the pressurized air. At least another vent in the base member provides for a movement of the flakes by the pressurized air in an annular direction in the space between the inflatable members. A permeable cap disposed on the outer inflatable member limits the pressure in the inflatable members to a particular value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
A visual display generally indicated at 10 is shown in the drawings. The visual display 10 may be seasonal. For example, the visual display shown in the drawings includes an outer inflatable member 12 in the form of a globe and an inner inflatable member 14 in the form of a tree which may be considered to be a Christmas tree. The tree is disposed within the globe 12.
Flakes 16 are disposed in the space between the outer inflatable member 12 and the inner inflatable member 14. The flakes 16 may be preferably white to convey the appearance of snowflakes and are preferably light in weight and made from a suitable plastic material. It will be appreciated that the visual appearances of the outer inflatable member 12 and the inner inflatable member 14 are only illustrative and that the inflatable members 12 and 14 may have a vast number of different shapes or configurations. The inflatable members 12 and 14 may be made from an impermeable plastic material.
The inflatable members 12 and 14 are disposed on a base member generally indicated at 18. The base member 18 has first and second annular surfaces 20 and 22 (Fig. 6). The annular surface 20 is below the annular surface 22 and has a greater radius than the annular surface 22. A belt 24 (Figure 6) is disposed on the annular surface 20 between a pair of positioning lobes 26. The belt 24 is tightened and retained against the outer inflatable member 12 by a buckle 28 (Fig 1). In like manner, a belt 30 is disposed on the annular surface 22.
The inner inflatable member 14 is disposed between the annular surface 22 and the belt 30. The belt 30 is tightened and retained against the inner inflatable member by a buckle (not shown) similar to the buckle 29.
A motor assembly generally indicated at 34 (Fig. 2) is disposed on the base member 18. The motor assembly 34 includes a motor 36 and a fan 38. The fan 38 is attached to the motor 36 by spacers 40. Manifolds 42 extend from the fan 38 and provide channels for the flow of air under pressure. The base member 18 has a side wall 44 with a cut-out portion 45 which provides for the introduction of air to the fan 38.
Vents 46 and 48 (Fig. 4) are disposed in the base member 18 to pass air provided under pressure by the fan 38. The vent 46 is larger than the combined openings of the vents 48. The air passing through the vent 46 acts upon the flakes 16 to raise the flakes above the base member 18. The vents 48 act upon the flakes to move the flakes in an annular direction in the space above the base member 18 and between the inflatable members 12 and 14. In this way, the flakes become disposed throughout the space above the base member and between the inflatable members 12 and 14 without falling to the base member.
Light bulbs 50 (Figs. 4 and 6) are disposed in the space between the inflatable members 12 and 14. Electrical leads 52 communicate with leads 54 from an external source of power (e.g., a wall socket or a battery, neither of which is shown) and provide power to the bulbs SO and the motor 36. The Ieads 52 extend through openings 56 in the base member 18. The openings 56 provide for the passage of pressurized air from the fan 38 into the inner inflatable member 14. The pressure imparted by the pressurized air to the interior of the inner inflatable member 14 is the same at each instant as the pressure imparted to the interior of the outer inflatable member 12.
A cap 60 (Figs. 3 and 5) suitably attached to the inflatable member 12 as by an adhesive covers an opening 62 at the top of the outer inflatable member 12.
The cap 60 may be made from a permeable material such as a permeable plastic material to Iimit the pressure in the inflatable members 12 and 14 to a particular value providing for a full inflation, but not an over-inflation, of the inflatable members 12 and 14. The pal-ticular pressure of the air in the inflatable members I2 and 14 is not sufficient to cause the flakes 16 to become adhered to the cap 60 or to any portion of the inflatable members 12 and 14. In this way, all of the flakes 16 are able to travel continuously in an annular direction through the space between the inflatable members 12 and 14 when the members are inflated.
Air passes through the opening 45 to the motor assembly 34. When electrical power is introduced to the visual display 10, the air passes under pressure through the vents 46 and 48 to inflate the outer member 12 and through the openings 56 to inflate the inner member 14. The maximum pressure of the air in the outer member 12 and the inner member 14 is limited by the permeable cap 60. The resultant pressure in the outer and inner members 12 and 14 is sufficiently high to fully inflate the members but not so high that the flakes become adhered to the cap 60 or the walls of the inflatable members.
The air pressing under pressure through the vent 46 acts in a direction and with a force to lift the flakes 16 from the base member 18. The air passing under pressure through the vents 48 move the flakes 18 in an annular direction around the visual display 10 in the space between the outer and inner members 12 and -S-14. In this way, the flakes 16 look and act like snowflakes in a display involving a globe (the outer member 12) and a Christmas tree (the inner member 14).
The visual display 10 thus provides a three-dimensional display of a scene ideally associated with Christmas. It will be appreciated that the visual display 10 is not limited to a Christmas scene. It can be adapted by a person of ordinary skill in the art to represent any religious or national holiday or any noteworthy event in many fields including sports, theatre, etc.
Although this invention has been disclosed and illustrated with reference to particular preferred embodiments, the principles involved axe susceptible for use in numerous other embodiments which will be apparent to persons of average skill in the art. The invention is therefore to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the appended claims.

A cap 60 (Figs. 3 and 5) suitably attached to the inflatable member 12 as by an adhesive covers an opening 62 at the top of the outer inflatable member 12.
The cap 60 may be made from a permeable material such as a permeable plastic material to Iimit the pressure in the inflatable members 12 and 14 to a particular value providing for a full inflation, but not an over-inflation, of the inflatable members 12 and 14.
