Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method of filling and sealing a balloon. This invention involves filling a balloon with a volume of material, where the balloon features an adhesive staging segment around its peripheral surface. The method retains the material within an expansion cavity of the balloon by applying a tensile force along the tubular neck segment. This process exposes the moldable adhesive ring, which is then compressed to form a seal. The material can include gas, air, or helium. Additionally, a tether can be inserted into the balloon neck before sealing, ensuring that the tether is secured to the balloon.
Another significant patent is for a self-sealing balloon and its method of manufacture. This involves applying an adhesive to a balloon form, followed by the application of material to create the balloon. An annular adhesive ring is formed during this process, which can be applied using a fiberization technique. The balloon form may be rotated during adhesive application, and airflow can be directed to aid in the forming and release processes. The adhesive ring is partially encapsulated within an adhesive staging segment of the balloon neck segment.
