Toy Balloon Lift

Abstract

A toy for use with any helium balloon comprised of a hand held device with an internal motorized reel that releases and retracts the balloon string when activated by a switch. The user enjoys lifting the balloon at the push of a button and retracting it back from the higher altitude at will and all the time being able to stop the balloon at a given elevation height.

1 . A child's toy balloon lift comprising:
 a) an elongated casing or housing with a small aperture at the front end where string protrudes, a top and bottom as well as closed back,   b) an energy supply within said elongated casing or housing adjacent it's rear end,   c) means to activate and deactivate said power source in both polarities,   d) a motorized reel assemblage within said casing or housing adjacent its front end,   e) and a small stop attached to the string outside the casing or housing.   
   
   
       2 . The toy balloon lift of  claim 1  that includes a light to indicate when the switch is in operation. 
   
   
       3 . A child's toy balloon lift comprising:
 a) an elongated casing or housing with a small aperture at the front end where string protrudes, a top and bottom as well as closed back,   b) an energy supply within said elongated casing or housing adjacent it's rear end,   c) means to activate and deactivate said power source,   d) a motorized reel assemblage within said casing or housing adjacent its front end with the ability to release from the motorized sprocket,   e) and a small stop attached to the string outside the casing or housing.   
   
   
       4 . The toy balloon lift of  claim 3  that includes a single pull switch and a gear release so that the balloon can lift by its own force on the gear release mode and retract with the motor when the switch is activated and a middle position that stops the gear so the balloon keeps the desired altitude. 
   
   
       5 . The toy balloon lift of  claim 3  that includes a light to indicate when the switch is in operation.
