container (12) and connecting the container to the inflatable bag (14),
retainer means (30) operative to hold the valve (16) in a closed condition,
and water reactive means (32) which, upon contact with water, serves to
release the retainer means (30) and allow the valve to open. The water
reactive means may comprise a band of material (32), at least part of which is
water reactive. The retainer means may comprise a spring (30) which acts
directly on the valve (16) to keep it closed against spring bias and the water
reactive band (32) may hold the spring (30) under compression until release.
In other embodiments the retainer means may comprise a plate or a lever which
the water reactive band holds against spring bias of the valve to its open
position until release. In another embodiment the retainer means includes a
spring held under compression by a water reactive band, which spring, upon
release overcomes spring bias of the valve to its closed position. The bag
(14), the container (12) and the trigger means are housed a casing (10) and
means (37) are provided, preferably integrally on the container (12), for
attachment of the device to another article.

A party balloon (10) comprises an expansible membrane with an inlet port (15) to allow entry of gas upon inflation and an illumination device comprising a light emitting diode (LED) (50) powered by at least one battery (54) is mounted inside the balloon (10). In this respect, the illumination device (50) has a projection (58) whereby it is attached to the expansible membrane, inside the balloon, by a clip or O-ring (59) fitted onto the projection (58) from outside the balloon. A strip of insulating material (53) is initially located between the battery or batteries (54) and the LED (50) and is capable of being withdrawn, e g prior to or upon inflation of the balloon (10), to light up the LED and the balloon.

In respect of a balloon (10) having an illumination device (20), including a light emitting member, which is mounted onto the wall inside the balloon cavity, at least one sheet (22, 24) of flexible material is connected to the illumination device inside the balloon cavity to serve as a parachute for the illumination device (20) in the event of rupture of the wall of the balloon when in an inflated condition. In embodiments where the illumination device is provided with a projection (12) and is mounted to the wall of the balloon by an attachment element, such as elastic band (18), engaging said projection from outside the balloon, the or each sheet of flexible material (22, 24) serving as the parachute may be connected to the illumination device (20) and to the balloon wall by location over the projection (12) and engagement by the same attachment member.

A balloon comprises a printed display. The printed display comprises: a printed image layer; a blocking layer provided behind selected portions of the printed image layer; and a diffusion layer provided behind at least those portions of the printed image layer not backed by the blocking layer. The blocking layer acts to block illumination of portions of the printed image layer, such that the printed display provides a different appearance when lit primarily from inside the balloon to when lit primarily from outside the balloon.

A balloon valve and pouch assembly 1 is mounted in a neck portion of a balloon and comprises a balloon valve 2 and a pouch 3. The pouch 3 is adapted to receive and retain an illumination device 100 in a predetermined position. The valve 2 has a valve inlet 2A and a valve outlet 2B provided at an opposite end of the valve 2. The valve 2 is delimited by sealing path 4 and layers 2C, 2D. The pouch 3 comprises an opening 3A through which an illumination device 100 can be inserted and a closed opposite end of the pouch 3B. The pouch 3 is delimited by the first sealing path 5 and layers 3C, 3D. The layers 3C, 3D are heat- sealed together along a first sealing path 5, which is substantially V-shaped, with the open end of the V- shape defining the pouch opening 3 A and the closed end of the V- shape defining the closed end of the pouch 3B. The pouch 3. The pouch 3 is arranged on and heat sealed to the valve 2 so that the valve inlet 2A is arranged towards the pouch opening 3A and the valve outlet 2B is arranged towards the closed end 3B of the pouch. Heat-resistant patches 6A, 6B prevent the occurrence of heat-sealing at particular locations within the pouch assembly 1 so valve 2 and pouch 3 can function.

An inflatable, non-latex balloon comprises a self-sealing valve and an
electronic unit
incorporating an LED or sound source, a battery power source, and a
displaceable actuator
to connect the LED or sound source to the power source. The electronic unit is
mounted
inside the balloon by firstly being bonded by means of a cover sheet to the
exterior of one of
the flexible strips of the self-sealing valve located in and through the neck
of the balloon. This
may take place by heat sealing and simultaneously with the bonding together by
heat seal of
the respective flexible strips of the valve. Thereafter, the combined unit and
self-sealing valve
are bonded, again preferably by heat sealing, between respective balloon
sheets in the
vicinity of the stem of the balloon.
