Description

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The object of the present invention is a toy for the painting of balloons that includes significant innovations and advantages compared to the present systems used for the same purpose.

[0002] More specifically the new invention includes a base, of a certain height, which has fixing elements for the balloon in order to facilitate perfect handling, and around which there are some elements or accessories that house paints, complements, etc., applicable to the balloon.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

[0003] Balloons, thanks to the varieties of colour and shape are generally used at celebrations, birthdays, galas, events, etc., as elements for fun and entertainment of the festive day.

[0004] Another of the well known applications for these elements lies directly with children, as for them it is an entertaining, simple and low cost toy. The children play with them, handle them and on many occasions paint or decorate the balloon, in such a way as to simulate characters who are in their fantasies or games.

[0005] However, said handling becomes difficult or has a certain degree of complication as the child must hold the balloon to be manipulated with one hand and with the other hand apply the decorative elements, these being paints, decoration, etc., onto the unstable surface of same; this thus has a certain degree of difficulty in the manipulation.

[0006] Because of this, this present device of the invention has been thought out so that the stated difficulty will be eliminated, and in so doing allow the child to play and manipulate the balloon with both hands.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The device for the painting of balloons object of the present registration is characterised because it is made up of a support base, with a certain height, hollow, its upper face having an opening into which the inflated balloon is inserted, its walls resting on it, and also having a fixing element, placed on the inside of the base.

[0008] Said fixing element can be made up of a hanging strip that starts from a point on the inner wall of the base, or alternatively a tab that protrudes from a point on the inner wall and ends at another point of same, or a removable flange that has some means of fixing at its ends for the holding of same on the inside of the base, etc.

[0009] These possible fixing elements, in turn, have a means for fixing the balloon where it has the knot, which can be a slot or split that is provided and into which the balloon fits just above the knot, or alternatively a pressure system with a series of cracks, etc.

[0010] Both the side walls of the base and the top surface of same can have a series of accessories such as writing instruments, paints, tapes, etc., for the decorating and handling of the balloon, likewise it can have a compartment that houses balloons to be inflated.

[0011] The base is suitable to have the possibility of fitting any type of device or system of templates for the decoration of the balloon, and in turn, can have support feet for the improving of its placement onto the surface.

[0012] The upper surface of the opening of the base is suitable to house a body whose shape coincides with the perimeter of the opening, this having a pivot fitted with a fixing system, that holds and retains the balloon by its knot; being able to insert funnel type models.

[0013] Finally, it must be stated that the device can be dismantled.

[0014] In order to complete the description that is going to be made next and for the purpose of making the characteristics easier to understand, attached to this present document is a set of drawings in which, by way of being illustrative but not limiting, the most significant details of the invention have been represented.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
