Spirit balloon method and apparatus

Abstract

A balloon support element can have a concave shape that preferably resembles a bowl or cup shape. A handle directly or indirectly attaches to the support element. The handle can have a linear and rectangular shape, with a hollow interior. A suction element can attach to an end of the handle away from the end that attaches to the support element to provide a means to secure the handle to permanent places when the product device is not in use. Contained with the hollow portion of the handle can be objects that serve to further stabilize the product when it is secured to a permanent place. The objects contained in the handle can serve a means to produce noise to demonstrate support when involved in an activity such as a sporting event.

1 . A support device for securing a balloon comprising:
 a balloon engagement member having contact with a balloon that is to be secured to the support device, the balloon engagement member having a concave inner surface for efficiently engaging the balloon;   a handle member attached to said engagement member, the handle member having a hollow interior and having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end attaches to said engagement member, the handle member providing a means for a user to hold the balloon support device;   a suction element attached to the lower end of said handle member to secure the handle to stationary objects; and   particle objects contained in said handle member for creating noise when the handle is shaken.   
   
   
       2 . The support device as described in  claim 1  further comprising a neck section positioned between said balloon engagement member and said handle member, the neck section attaching the engagement member and the handle member, the neck member having an opening there through facilitate the securing of a balloon to the support device. 
   
   
       3 . The support device as described in  claim 2  wherein said engagement member, handle member, and neck member form on single unit. 
   
   
       4 . The support device as described in  claim 2  wherein said handle has a linear rectangular shape with a tapered upper section that tapered toward the upper end. 
   
   
       5 . The support device as described in  claim 2  wherein said neck section has a tapered shape that tapers from said engagement member to said handle member. 
   
   
       6 . The support device as described in  claim 1  wherein said engagement member and said handle member are screwably attached. 
   
   
       7 . The support device as described in  claim 1  wherein said engagement member and said handle member are attached with a glue substance. 
   
   
       8 . The support device as described in  claim 2  wherein said engagement member, neck section and said handle member are screwably attached. 
   
   
       9 . The support device as described in  claim 2  wherein said engagement member, neck section and said handle member are attached with a glue substance. 
   
   
       10 . The support device as described in  claim 1  wherein said suction element comprises an inner element extended into the handle for further securing said suction element to said handle. 
   
   
       11 . The support device as described in  claim 1  further comprising a bar element contained within said handle element in the approximate location of said suction element to shield said particles from said suction element. 
   
   
       12 . The support device as described in  claim 10  further comprising a bar element contained within said handle element in the approximate location of said suction element to shield said particles from said suction element. 
   
   
       13 . The support device as described in  claim 1  wherein said handle comprises two semi-circled, symmetrical and parallel elements that combine to create said handle element. 
   
   
       14 . The support device as described in  claim 12  wherein said handle comprises a bottom portion to which said suction element is attached, said bottom handle portion being attachable to the upper portion of the handle. 
   
   
       15 . The support device as described in  claim 14  wherein said bottom handle portion is screwably attached to said upper handle portion.
