Automatic Inflatable Lawn Decoration Device

Abstract

An automatic inflatable lawn decoration device is provided. The device is comprised of an inflatable member and a base that may resemble any theme, character, holiday, season, text, image, etc., to decorate the lawn in front of a house. The base may be anchored to the ground surface to provide support and stability for the device. A sensor of the device detects light and causes a pump of the device to inflate and/or deflate the inflatable member. The device may further be powered by a solar panel.
