Abstract

The party tape popper of the present invention, which is designed to discharge the multi-colored tapes and paper powders using the pressurized gas inside it, consists of a gas-generating part onto which a closing plug with a screw-type firing pin is attached, and inside of which a pressurized gas injection hole is installed, and into whose interior diameter a pressurized gas cartridge is inserted. The popper also includes a tape branch pipe closing part with an insertion groove at the end of a pressurized gas discharging hole and a hanging pin whose elasticity is controlled by a spring at the other end of the gas discharging hole. On the closing part of the said tape branch pipe is a small, paper-based cylinder whose both ends are closed by sponge or paper boards. Inside the cylinder is a tape roll containing a multiple number of multi-colored tapes and paper powder.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A party tape popper comprising: a gas-generating part onto which a closing plug with a screw-type firing pin attached, inside of which a pressurized gas injection hole is installed, and into whose interior diameter a pressurized gas cartridge is inserted; an activating hole with linked to the pressurized gas injection hole at the lower end and to a pressurized gas discharging hole at the upper end; a handle located on the upper part of the activating hole and activated by the rotary axis at one end; a protruding key slant declining toward the lower part and installed on the activating hole; a key pin that is triggered toward above by a triggering spring installed in the lower part of the device; a key ring with a greater diameter than that of the key pin and installed on the upper part of the key slant; an activating hole plug with an elevating hole that elevates the upper part of the key pin in the center by closing the upper part of the activating hole; a spacer with a diameter greater than that of the key pin, inserted into the key pin in between the key ring and the activating hole plug, forming multiple long penetrating holes that penetrate the pressurized gas discharge hole; and a tape branch pipe closing part with an insertion groove at the end of the pressurized gas discharging hole and a hanging pin whose elasticity is controlled by a spring at the other end of the gas discharging hole. 
   
   
       2 . A party tape popper with all the elements mentioned in  claim 1  further comprising: a small paper-based cylinder on the closing part of the said tape branch pipe whose both ends are closed by sponge or paper boards. Inside the cylinder is a tape roll containing a multiple number of multi-colored tapes and paper powder. There is another tape branch pipe, which is inserted into the insertion groove of the pressurized gas discharging hole with an insertion hole into which the hanging pin can be installed. 
   
   
       3 . A party tape popper as in  claim 2 , with a thin paper screen on the front of the insertion groove of the aforementioned tape branch pipe so that the screen can minimize the loss of the pressurized gas when the popper is activated. 
   
   
       4 . A party tape popper as in  claim 1 , which enables the safety pin inserted into the pin hole around the rotary axis of the handle slides down to protrude on the side by a closing ball that is exploded when the key pin of the said handle goes down. The protruding safety pin obstructs the lowering of the handle so that safety mode can be set. The safety pin is inserted further into the pin hole in order to set the usage mode that allows the lowering of the key pin of the handle. 
   
   
       5 . A party tape popper as in  claim 2 , with a long interior groove formed with an uneven surface along the longitude of the aforementioned tape branch pipe. Inside the insertion groove of the pressurized gas discharging hole that corresponds to the long interior groove is an interior protrusion, which induces the insertion groove of the tape branch pipe to be fixed onto the hanging pin.
