Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A balloon filling device is provided for filling balloons with air or water. The balloon filling device includes a container for holding fluid, a pump mechanism for pressurizing the container and a trigger mechanism for releasing fluid in the container. The trigger mechanism includes a nozzle for attaching and holding a balloon while releasing pressurized air or liquid within the container into the balloon. The pump mechanism includes a pressure relief valve for releasing air back through the pump mechanism to the outside of the container when the container is over-pressurized.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A balloon filling device, the balloon filling device comprising: a container for holding fluid, a pump mechanism for pressurizing the container, the pump mechanism having an automatic pressure relief valve for releasing air back through the pump mechanism and outside of the container when the container is over-pressurized; and a trigger mechanism for releasing fluid in the container, the trigger mechanism including a nozzle for attaching and holding a balloon while it is being filled with air or fluid and whereby the fluid can be released into the balloon for filing the balloon. 2. The device of claim 1 , where the pump mechanism includes a pump handle, a rod and a plunger contained within a sleeve and where the automatic pressure relief valve is positioned within the plunger to release air back through the sleeve if the container is over-pressurized. 3. The device of claim 1 , where the fluid is water, air or a mixture thereof. 4. The device of claim 1 , where the automatic pressure relief valve includes a spring that will compress in response to a pressure of approximately 27-32 psi in the container.
