Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device that holds multiple balloons in a target-ready position. The device has a valve that prevents air from leaking out of the balloons, and the valves can be easily retrieved after the balloons are burst. The device is designed to be flat and compact before being fitted with the balloons. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and efficient way to hold multiple balloons in a secure position for use in various applications.

Problems solved by technology

In others a blunt object or projectile forces the inflated balloon against a sharp point to result in the balloon being exploded.

Embodiment Construction

[0005]Among its purposes, the present apparatus includes a gauge to enable target balloons to be inflated to a predetermined size or main-body diameter to fit into openings which are equipped with positive balloon engagement elements.

[0006]In an alternative embodiment, a conventional air valve, for example, a Schrader valve, is mounted in each balloon prior to its being inflated. The valve performs its normal function of allowing air in and preventing air from leaking out. The valve is then easily retrieved after the balloon is burst.

[0007]The support device for holding multiple balloons in a target-ready position can be formed in a manner that allows it to be flat and compact prior to use, that is, prior to being fitted with target balloons.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[0008]The objects, advantages, and features of this target apparatus will be more clearly perceived from the following detailed description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:

Abstract

A shooting target device having a target board with multiple openings to receive an inflated balloon in each opening. Each opening includes radial projections to frictionally engage a balloon with an interference fit. A size gauge is provided to assist in inflating the balloons to a proper size to be engaged by the radial projections when a balloon is inflated and inserted into an opening. A one-way valve can be provided for ease of inflating the balloon and retaining the balloon in an inflated condition until it is hit by a projectile and exploded.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]This apparatus relates generally to multiple-balloon target structures, and more particularly to such an arrangement having positive elements for holding each balloon in place as a target, and having a gauge to enable each balloon to be inflated to a precise size in relation to the target holder openings.DISCUSSION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Boards or supports to which one or more balloons are mounted for some kind of target purposes, typically in relation to a game where scores are achieved, have been known. In some cases a balloon is burst upon contact, for example, with a dart. In others a blunt object or projectile forces the inflated balloon against a sharp point to result in the balloon being exploded. There are many other target involving openings in a surface which do not involve balloons.[0003]Balloons are also used in groups for decorative or artistic purposes.[0004]In some cases target balloons are inflated to a desired pressure or to a desired approxim...
