Illuminating balloon
First Claim
1. An illuminating balloon, comprising:
- an inflatable envelope being provided at a top central area with a radially inward extended reinforced ring member, and at a bottom central opening with a reinforced annular ring; and
a sectional bulb support integrated in said envelope and consisting of a top support, a middle support, a lower support, and a bottom support,wherein said top support includes an upper tube and a lower tube in which said upper tube is rotatably fitted;
said upper tube being provided near a lower end thereof with an annular groove, and said lower tube being provided near an upper end thereof with a radially extended through bore,wherein said upper tube is provided near an upper end thereof with a radially extended through bore, via which a bore screw is extended into an inner space defined by an upper opening of said upper tube for receiving said reinforced ring member therein, and said bore screw is finally engaged with a nut at one side of said upper tube diametrically opposite to said through bore to lock said upper tube to said reinforced ring member.

Abstract
An illuminating balloon includes an inflatable envelope and a sectional bulb support integrated in the envelope. The sectional bulb support includes a horizontally freely turnable top support to avoid tangling of the bulb support with the envelope during inflating. The top support defines an upper locking space for connecting the whole bulb support to a radially inward projected ring member integrally provided at a top center of the envelope without causing water leakage thereat. The sectional bulb support is height-adjustable and adaptable to differently sized inflatable envelopes, and has an open bulb-protecting grid that does not block light sources to produce shadows on the envelope, and an air-relieving hole to prevent the envelope from fluttering while being quickly inflated.
