Abstract:
A toy balloon valve adapter mountable over an existing balloon valve for mating sealingly with necks of different size balloons, the toy balloon valve adapter comprising:(a) a continuous wall defining a balloon neck supporting member having a perimeter relatively different in size from a perimeter of a balloon neck supporting valve head of the existing toy balloon valve, said balloon neck supporting member including a first end and a second end, one of said first end and said second end being a relatively larger end and the other being a relatively smaller end; (b) a cavity defined by said continuous wall and located between said first end and said second end for receiving and containing the balloon neck supporting valve head of the existing toy balloon valve; (c) a first opening into said cavity through said relatively larger end for receiving said balloon neck supporting valve head of said existing toy balloon valve into said cavity; (d) a second opening through said relatively smaller end for allowing an inflation fluid to flow through said existing toy balloon valve into a supported balloon without leaking; and (e) more than two flange areas between said first end and said second end, each said flange area having a relatively different size diameter for receiving and effectively sealingly mating and supporting against necks of different size supported toy balloons after inflation.
