Abstract

The present invention is to provide a light-emitting inflatable balloon, which comprises an inflatable balloon constructed by two first films sealed together to define an inflatable space and a through hole; a strip-like gas inlet constructed by two second films sealed together to define an air input channel, and having an end extended into the inflatable space and an outer surface sealed to the inner surface of the through hole. After the inflatable balloon is inflated, a light-emitting element is inserted into the air input channel and is electrically connected to a power module through wires. A holder is configured to hold the light-emitting element or wires while covering a part of the outer surface of the inflatable balloon that corresponds in position to the through hole, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting element can pass through the strip-like gas inlet and make the inflatable balloon glowing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A light-emitting inflatable balloon, comprising:
 an inflatable balloon constructed by two first films, wherein peripheries of the first films are sealed to each other in an airtight manner to define an inflatable space in the inflatable balloon and pre-form a through hole at corresponding positions of corresponding side edges of the first films;   a strip-like gas inlet constructed by two strip-like transparent second films, wherein a pair of opposite side edges of the two second films are sealed together in an airtight manner to define an air input channel in the strip-like gas inlet, the strip-like gas inlet having a first end extended into the inflatable balloon to form a free end, the strip-like gas inlet further having an outer surface which is adjacent to a second end of the strip-like gas inlet and sealed to an inner surface of the through hole in an airtight manner;   a light-emitting element received in the air input channel of the strip-like gas inlet;   two wires, each said wire having a first end electrically connected to one of two electrodes of the light-emitting element and a second end passing through the strip-like gas inlet and extending out of the inflatable balloon;   a holder for holding the light-emitting element while covering a part of an outer surface of the inflatable balloon that corresponds in position to the through hole, so that the light-emitting element is secured in the strip-like gas inlet and corresponds in position to the inflatable space; and   a power module electrically connected to the second ends of the two wires.   
     
     
         2 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 1 , wherein an outer periphery of the light-emitting element is formed with a flange, and an inner periphery of the holder is formed with a groove corresponding in position to the flange, so as for the holder to hold the light-emitting element while covering the part of the outer surface of the inflatable balloon. 
     
     
         3 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 2 , wherein the holder is constructed by two holding elements, and corresponding side surfaces of the holding elements are each formed with the groove corresponding in position to the flange of the light-emitting element. 
     
     
         4 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 3 , wherein each said holding element has an end which is adjacent to the inflatable balloon and extended with a bracket for supporting the inflatable balloon. 
     
     
         5 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 4 , further comprising a support tube, the support tube having an end mounted around the holder so as for the second ends of the two wires to pass through the support tube and be electrically connected to the power module, wherein the support tube stands on the power module. 
     
     
         6 . A light-emitting inflatable balloon, comprising:
 an inflatable balloon constructed by two first films, wherein peripheries of the first films are sealed to each other in an airtight manner to define an inflatable space in the inflatable balloon and pre-form a through hole at corresponding positions of corresponding side edges of the first films;   a strip-like gas inlet constructed by two strip-like transparent second films, wherein a pair of opposite side edges of the two second films are sealed together in an airtight manner to define an air input channel in the strip-like gas inlet, the strip-like gas inlet having a first end extended into the inflatable balloon to form a free end, the strip-like gas inlet further having an outer surface which is adjacent to a second end of the strip-like gas inlet and sealed to an inner surface of the through hole in an airtight manner;   a light-emitting element received in the strip-like gas inlet;   two wires, each said wire having a first end electrically connected to one of two electrodes of the light-emitting element;   a hollow sleeve received in the strip-like gas inlet, thus allowing second ends of the two wires to pass through a central hole of the hollow sleeve and extend out of the inflatable balloon;   a holder for holding the hollow sleeve while covering a part of an outer surface of the inflatable balloon, so that the light-emitting element is positioned adjacent to the second end of the strip-like gas inlet; and   a power module electrically connected to the second ends of the two wires.   
     
     
         7 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 6 , wherein the central hole of the hollow sleeve has a diameter smaller than a size of the light-emitting element. 
     
     
         8 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 7 , wherein an outer periphery of the hollow sleeve is protrudingly provided with a flange, and the holder is constructed by two holding elements, the holding elements having corresponding side surfaces each formed with a groove corresponding in position to the flange of the hollow sleeve. 
     
     
         9 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 8 , wherein each said holding element has an end which is adjacent to the inflatable balloon and extended with a bracket for supporting the inflatable balloon. 
     
     
         10 . The light-emitting inflatable balloon of  claim 9 , further comprising a support tube, the support tube having an end mounted around the holder so as for the second ends of the two wires to pass through the support tube and be electrically connected to the power module, wherein the support tube stands on the power module.
