Abstract
A tie-less water balloon assembly includes an inner membrane for creating a one-way water flow channel. The channel includes a seal and a closure member. Water entering the balloon is directed into the flow channel and into the balloon. Once the water is inside the balloon, the water exerts pressure on the flow channel and prevents water from prematurely escaping the balloon.
Description
- This application claims priority to provisional patent application No. 61/558,832, filed on Nov. 11, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention relates to a water balloon system, including a water balloon assembly and a multi-balloon filling assembly. More specifically, the invention involves a tie-less or tie-free water balloon that may utilize a quick fill water balloon device in order to use the water balloons.
- The water balloon industry is filled with a multitude of shapes and sizes of balloons for use as water balloons. When preparing a water balloon, the balloon must be filled with water and then tied to prevent the water Thorn prematurely escaping the balloon due to gravity or the compression caused by the elasticity of the balloon. Thus, the use of multiple balloons requires constant tying of balloons in order to secure the balloons. The time and energy required to tie multiple water balloons is often significant and often interferes with producing a large number of filled water balloons.
- Thus, there is a need for a water balloon that does not require tying and a system/method of providing a plurality of water balloons relatively quickly.
- In view of the deficiencies and drawbacks in the prior art, it is a primary feature of the present invention to provide a tie-less or tie-free water balloon.
- Another feature of the present invention is to provide a system for filling the tie-less or tie-free water balloons that allows for a plurality of water balloons to be filled as quickly as possible.
- In summary, there is provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a tie-less water balloon and method of use. The tie-less water balloon preferably includes a one-way valve or channel inside the balloon that allows water to enter the balloon but not escape it. Once filled, the pressure of the water inside the balloon will dose off the valve when the balloon is removed from a hose.
- The above-described and other advantages and features of the present disclosure will be appreciated and understood by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and drawings of which:
-
FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of a preferred embodiment of a water balloon of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a cross-section view thereof; -
FIG. 3 is a detail cross-sectional view thereof, taken on line 3-3 ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is another detail cross-sectional view thereof taken along line 4-4 ofFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the water balloon ofFIGS. 1-4 filled with water; -
FIG. 6 is a detail cross-sectional view thereof, taken along line 6-6 ofFIG. 5 ; -
FIG. 7 is a front elevation view of a multi-balloon filling assembly of a preferred embodiment of the present invention; and -
FIG. 8 is a detail cross-sectional view thereof, taken along line 8-8 ofFIG. 7 . - With reference to
FIGS. 1 through 8 , there is shown a preferred embodiment of atie-less water balloon 10 and amulti-balloon filling assembly 28. Thewater balloon 10 is made of elastic materials standard in balloon manufacture (e.g., rubber) and includes anouter wall 12 and aninner membrane 18. Theouter wall 12 and theinner membrane 18 together form a one-way channel 20. In one example, theballoon 10 is formed by dipping theinner membrane 18 into a liquid latex solution. - The
balloon 10 further includes aneck 14 and aseal 16. Theneck 14 of theballoon 10 opens into the one-way channel 20 and allowswater 26 to flow into theballoon 10, (While water is preferred,balloon 10 may be filled with other liquids as desired by a user.) Oncewater 26 stops flowing into theballoon 10, theseal 16 prevents thewater 26 from escaping through theneck 14. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 2-6 , theballoon 10 is filled withwater 26 through theneck 14 andchannel 20, Thewater 26 is then contained byseal 16, When theballoon 10 is compressed or rotated,water 26 contacts theseal 16 causing pressure on theseal 16 and the entireinner membrane 18. At the distal end of the inner membrane is aclosure member 24. The pressure caused by the compression or rotation of theballoon 10 forces theclosure member 24 against theouter wall 12. Accordingly,water 26 is prevented from escaping theballoon 10 and traveling out through thechannel 20. - In one example of a
balloon assembly 10, the width of thechannel 20 ranges from about ¼ inch to about ¾ inch and most preferably, the width of thechannel 20 is about 72 inch. In another example, the one-way channel 20 may comprise a tube built into theballoon 10 such that thechannel 20 andballoon 10 are made all as one unit with thechannel 20 on the inside of the balloon. In another example, theinner membrane 18 travels a range of ¼ to ¾ around the inside of the balloon. In third un-illustrated example, theinterior membrane 28 may be a “V” type valve that requireswater 26 entering theballoon 10 to travel in multiple directions in order to pass through thechannel 20. The “V” type valve will limit the amount of water that exits the balloon due to compression or rotation while still allowing the balloon to be filled by a hose having sufficient pressure. - This
inner membrane 18 may be thinner in thickness than theouter balloon wall 12 to allow the pressure of the water in the balloon to force theinner membrane 18 closed when theballoon 10 is removed from a water supply. In particular, the inner membrane may be thickest at theneck 14 and thinnest at theclosure member 24. The gradation of thickness will allow theclosure member 24 to better seal against escaping water. Theneck 14 ofballoon 10 should be approximately 1-2 inches longer than the neck of a standard balloon. The lengthenedneck 14 prevents the backup of water out theneck 14 and prevents damage to thechannel 20 while theballoon 10 is being attached to a water source. - A further element of the present invention is a
multi-balloon filling assembly 28. One example of themulti-balloon filling assembly 28 is shown inFIGS. 7 and 8 . The multi-balloon filling assembly includes a water supply fitting 30, amain conduit 32,lateral conduits 36, a plurality ofconduit tips 37,stop valves 38, and a quick-fill switch 34. - The
water supply fitting 30 is adapted to connect to a hose and facilitate the flow of liquid through thefilling assembly 28. Themain conduit 32 connects to the water supply fitting 30 at its proximate end and terminates in thelateral conduits 36. Further, the main conduit is separated into a plurality of sections, where the sections narrow in diameter moving away from the water supply fitting 30. The narrowing of themain conduit 32 maintains a consistent level of pressure across the plurality of sections. Thelateral conduits 36 branch out from themain conduit 32 and terminate in the plurality oftips 37. Thelateral conduits 36 are shown inFIG. 7 as perpendicular to themain conduit 32, however the lateral conduits may extend at a number of varying angles. -
Tips 37 at the ends of thelateral conduits 36 are adapted to engaged theneck 14 of aballoon 10. Once engaged, water flowing in the water supply fitting 30 will travel through the main conduit and the lateral conduit and into theballoon 10. This setup may be repeated for each of the plurality of Ups 37 to fill a large number ofballoons 10 simultaneously. - A further element of the
multi-balloon filling assembly 28 isstop valve 38.Stop valve 38 is rotatable and includes abore 40. Thestop valve 38 alternatively opens and doses themain conduit 32 to thelateral conduits 36. In one example, thebore 40 provides a pathway for flowing water that opens and doses when thebore 40 is rotated. Accordingly, some oftips 37 may be used while others are dosed off. In the example illustrated inFIG. 7 , each section of themain conduit 32 includesseparate stop valves 32. - An additional element of the
multi-balloon filling assembly 28 is a quick-fill on/offbutton 34. The quick-fill on/offbutton 34 is preferably positioned near thewater supply fitting 30. The quick-fill on/offbutton 34 opens and doses the flow of water at the fitting 30. When the quick-fill on/offbutton 34 is engaged, it will allow water to flow through themain conduit 32; when the quick-fill on/offbutton 34 is disengaged, water will be cut off from themain conduit 32. - Though a number of different materials may be used, the
multi-balloon filling assembly 28 is preferably constructed of plastic or a plastic substitute. In one example, themulti-balloon filling assembly 28 is from about 6 inches to about 12 inches in length, with the lateral conduits being about ¼ inches in diameter. Other measurements may be produced to allow for increased or decreased water flow rates. - The accompanying drawings only illustrate several examples of a water balloon assembly, a mufti-balloon filling assembly, and their respective constituent parts, however, other types and styles are possible, and the drawings are not intended to be limiting in that regard. Thus, although the description above and accompanying drawings contains much specificity, the details provided should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments but merely as providing illustrations of some of the presently preferred embodiments. The drawings and the description are not to be taken as restrictive on the scope of the embodiments and are understood as broad and general teachings in accordance with the present invention. While the present embodiments of the invention have been described using specific terms, such description is for present illustrative purposes only, and it is to be understood that modifications and variations to such embodiments, including but not limited to the substitutions of equivalent features, materials, or parts, and the reversal of various features thereof, may be practiced by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
