Abstract
Outer and inner inflatable members and a motor assembly including a fan are disposed on a base member. Air provided under pressure by the motor assembly including the fan passes through vents in the base member to inflate the inflatable members. Flakes are disposed in the space between the inflatable members. One vent, larger than the others, provides for the flakes to be lifted upwardly from the base member by the pressurized air. At least another vent in the base member provides for a movement of the flakes by the pressurized air in an annular direction in the space between the inflatable members. A permeable cap disposed on the outer inflatable member limits the pressure in the outer and inner inflatable members to a particular value.
Description
- This invention relates to visual displays and more particularly to visual displays, and methods of providing visual displays, which are particularly adapted to be used for seasonal displays such as for Christmas. More particularly, this invention relates to visual displays which include an outer inflatable member, an inner inflatable member and flakes movable in an annular direction in the space between the inner and outer inflatable members.
- Visual displays are provided on a seasonal basis to celebrate the season. For example, visual displays may be disposed in a family home during the Christmas season to enhance the appearance of the season in the home and to celebrate the season. Although popular, the visual displays now in use have a limited appeal. It would be desirable to provide a visual display which has an advanced aesthetic and sophistication and which represents a particular season (e.g., Christmas) on a more fulfilling basis than the visual displays of the prior art.
- Outer and inner inflatable members and a motor assembly including a fan are disposed on a base member. Air provided under pressure by the motor assembly including the fan passes through vents in the base member to inflate the inflatable members. Flakes are disposed in the space between the inflatable members. One vent, larger than the others, provides for the flakes to be lifted upwardly from the base member by the pressurized air. At least another vent in the base member provides for a movement of the flakes by the pressurized air in an annular direction in the space between the inflatable members. A permeable cap disposed on the outer inflatable member limits the pressure in the inflatable members to a particular value.
- In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic front elevational perspective view of a visual display constituting a preferred embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 is a bottom plan view of the visual display shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the top of the visual display; -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of the bottom portion of the visual display; -
FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view in elevation of the top portion of the visual display; and -
FIG. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view taken substantially on the line 6-6 inFIG. 2 . - A visual display generally indicated at 10 is shown in the drawings. The
visual display 10 may be seasonal. For example, the visual display shown in the drawings includes an outerinflatable member 12 in the form of a globe and an innerinflatable member 14 in the form of a tree which may be considered to be a Christmas tree. The tree is disposed within theglobe 12. -
Flakes 16 are disposed in the space between the outerinflatable member 12 and the innerinflatable member 14. Theflakes 16 may be preferably white to convey the appearance of snowflakes and are preferably light in weight and made from a suitable plastic material. It will be appreciated that the visual appearances of the outerinflatable member 12 and the innerinflatable member 14 are only illustrative and that theinflatable members inflatable members - The
inflatable members base member 18 has first and secondannular surfaces 20 and 22 (FIG. 6 ). Theannular surface 20 is below theannular surface 22 and has a greater radius than theannular surface 22. A belt 24 (FIG. 6 ) is disposed on theannular surface 20 between a pair ofpositioning lobes 26. Thebelt 24 is tightened and retained against the outerinflatable member 12 by a buckle 28 (FIG. 1 ). In like manner, abelt 30 is disposed on theannular surface 22. The innerinflatable member 14 is disposed between theannular surface 22 and thebelt 30. Thebelt 30 is tightened and retained against the inner inflatable member by a buckle (not shown) similar to thebuckle 29. - A motor assembly generally indicated at 34 (
FIG. 2 ) is disposed on thebase member 18. Themotor assembly 34 includes amotor 36 and afan 38. Thefan 38 is attached to themotor 36 byspacers 40. Manifolds 42 extend from thefan 38 and provide channels for the flow of air under pressure. Thebase member 18 has aside wall 44 with a cut-outportion 45 which provides for the introduction of air to thefan 38. - Vents 46 and 48 (
FIG. 4 ) are disposed in thebase member 18 to pass air provided under pressure by thefan 38. Thevent 46 is larger than the combined openings of thevents 48. The air passing through thevent 46 acts upon theflakes 16 to raise the flakes above thebase member 18. Thevents 48 act upon the flakes to move the flakes in an annular direction in the space above thebase member 18 and between theinflatable members inflatable members - Light bulbs 50 (
FIGS. 4 and 6 ) are disposed in the space between theinflatable members Electrical leads 52 communicate withleads 54 from an external source of power (e.g., a wall socket or a battery, neither of which is shown) and provide power to thebulbs 50 and themotor 36. Theleads 52 extend throughopenings 56 in thebase member 18. Theopenings 56 provide for the passage of pressurized air from thefan 38 into the innerinflatable member 14. The pressure imparted by the pressurized air to the interior of the innerinflatable member 14 is the same at each instant as the pressure imparted to the interior of the outerinflatable member 12. - A cap 60 (
FIGS. 3 and 5 ) suitably attached to theinflatable member 12 as by an adhesive covers anopening 62 at the top of the outerinflatable member 12. Thecap 60 may be made from a permeable material such as a permeable plastic material to limit the pressure in theinflatable members inflatable members inflatable members flakes 16 to become adhered to thecap 60 or to any portion of theinflatable members flakes 16 are able to travel continuously in an annular direction through the space between theinflatable members - Air passes through the
opening 45 to themotor assembly 34. When electrical power is introduced to thevisual display 10, the air passes under pressure through thevents outer member 12 and through theopenings 56 to inflate theinner member 14. The maximum pressure of the air in theouter member 12 and theinner member 14 is limited by thepermeable cap 60. The resultant pressure in the outer andinner members flakes 16 become adhered to thecap 60 or the walls of the inflatable members. - The air pressing under pressure through the
vent 46 acts in a direction and with a force to lift theflakes 16 from thebase member 18. The air passing under pressure through thevents 48 move theflakes 18 in an annular direction around thevisual display 10 in the space between the outer andinner members flakes 16 look and act like snowflakes in a display involving a globe (the outer member 12) and a Christmas tree (the inner member 14). - The
visual display 10 thus provides a three-dimensional display of a scene ideally associated with Christmas. It will be appreciated that thevisual display 10 is not limited to a Christmas scene. It can be adapted by a person of ordinary skill in the art to represent any religious or national holiday or any noteworthy event in many fields including sports, theatre, etc. - Although this invention has been disclosed and illustrated with reference to particular preferred embodiments, the principles involved are susceptible for use in numerous other embodiments which will be apparent to persons of average skill in the art. The invention is therefore to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the appended claims.
