Abstract
Balloon stem connector for securing a balloon by its neck to the end of a stem-like object includes a wire formed slot at the end of the stem for receiving the balloon neck. A capture element having a tubular body portion is fitted in sleeve-like fashion to slide along the stem from a position where the slot is fully exposed to a captive position where it envelops a substantial portion of the loop. The capture element also has balloon positioning body portions outwardly flaring from the tubular body.
