Modular illuminating balloon
First Claim
1. Illuminating balloon comprising at least one standard module having an inflatable envelope made of flexible material of small thickness, housing an illuminating device, means for support and power supply of the illuminating device and means for filling the envelope with a fluid, illuminating balloon wherein the envelope of each standard module comprises external connecting means designed to co-operate, by juxtaposition, with the complementary external connecting means of at least one identical standard module to form an illuminating balloon having a volume and a lighting power proportional to the number of juxtaposed standard modules, said external connecting means enabling the standard modules to be juxtaposed in a plurality of assemblies of different shapes.

Abstract
The illuminating balloon comprises at least one standard module having an inflatable envelope housing an illuminating device. The envelope of each standard module comprises external connecting means designed to co-operate, by juxtaposition according to a predefined shape, with the complementary external connecting means of a predetermined number of identical standard modules to adjust the global volume of the illuminating balloon. Each standard module is formed by two adjacent flat side faces and by a transverse surface. The external connecting means of each standard module comprise lateral connecting means fixed onto the contour of the flat side faces, and transverse connecting means fixed onto the transverse surface. The two flat side faces are substantially in the shape of an ellipse and the transverse surface is a curved revolution surface.
