Apparatus, system and method for filling containers with fluids

Multiple tubes 16 are each connected to an individual container 18 at one end and a shared manifold 12 at the other to allow fluid communication between the two. The containers are each detachably connected by an elastic clamp 20 designed to seal the container upon the container being pulled off the tube. Ideally the containers are balloons whose necks surround the tubes ends, the clamps are elastic bands and the fluid is water. The manifold has an inlet A spaced away from the tubes which is preferably smaller than the region B to which tubes connect. The manifolds inlet could be internally threaded and connected to a water tap 32, possibly on the end of a hose 14. The containers could include volumetric graduations. The tubes could be flexible with some longer than others to assist spacing of the balloons during filling. Shaking or jerking the housing from which the balloons are freely suspended may be enough to detach them once they reach a threshold weight.

Airborne floating lift-weight balanced toy

ABSTRACT An airborne, free floating, lift-weight balanced toy for manual manipulation includes a closed envelope of polyethylene terephthalate (Mylar(RTM)) filled with helium. The envelope is exactly counterbalanced with one or more ballast members so that the toy will assume a position at a desired distance from the floor or ground when it is let free. Such ballast members are made up of a plurality of weight control modules spirally arranged with respect to each other and held onto the skin of the toy by double face adhesive. In one form of the invention, when such a toy is initially filled with helium and a ballast member is in place, it will have a static balance such that one portion will always come back to being the bottom portion. In a second form, two ballast members are placed so that the toy will remain oriented in space in whatever position it is manually placed, if there are no outside effects except gravity and the lifting effect of the helium working on it. In each form, the ballast members are so positioned with respect to the skin of the toy that when one or more weight control modules are removed serially from the outer end of the spiral toward the inner end thereof, this static balance is not appreciably disturbed.

Aerodynamic, helium filled, perimeter weighted, neutral buoyant, mylar toy

An aerodynamic, neutrally bouyant, mylar toy, comprises itself of a helium filled, mylar brand balloon with its accompaning convenient, flexible one-way valve, which is specifically weighted at its perimeter to exhibit dynamic flight characteristics due primarily to its centrifugal properties.The aerodynamic toy is weighted with a variety of ballasts to achieve a horizontal, neutral buoyant, list-free, static equilibrium attitude. Such ballasts are ingeniously positioned to first offset the intrinsic weight of said fill valve to create a list-free horizontal attitude. Ballast is subsequently added to the perimeter until said toy is counter-ballanced against the forces of gravity. In the case of a round balloon weighted and positioned horizontally, some ballast is added at its southern most concentric axis in order to easily facilitate the return of a neutral buoyant attitude of said toy, due to the inevitable loss of helium,and without effecting its said static, list-free equilibrium. Means are described to concisely and creatively weight several aerodynamically shaped balloons and it is the specific placement at their perimeters that dramatically enhances the flight, spin and stability of any or all helium filled, neutrally balanced, mylar toys.

Rigid helium balloons

The rigid helium balloon has a helium compartment and a separate, channel portion. Helium gas is filled into the helium compartment through a valve in the balloon. Fiberglass rod members are inserted into the channel portion to help retain the desired shape of the balloon. The rod members also provide a counterbalancing weight which prevents the balloon from floating upward. Thus, the balloon, once released into the air, will retain its shape and remain floating at the height from which it was released unless repositioned. No additional weights or tethering devices are required to prevent the balloon from floating upwards.

Nozzle assembly

A nozzle assembly has a main body that is hollow. A hose connection is formed on the main body to receive a fluid. A stem extends away from the main body, and the stem is hollow. A tip is formed on an end of the stem, and the tip has a fluid outlet. An extension member extends away from the main body. A balloon retainer is connected to the extension member. The balloon retainer has an opening facing the fluid outlet. The balloon retainer is shaped so that inflation of a balloon to a greater inflation pulls a neck of the balloon off the stem to a released position so that the balloon flies off the stem.
