Abstract
The subject device is a balloon weight and holding device having and storing a balloon tether means and adapted to be attached to a balloon and functioning to prevent a balloon filled with a lighter-than-air gas from rising above a given tethered length, such device comprising in general a spool member having a central cylindrical shaft flanked on each end by opposing circular plate members, each such plate having a circumferential rim. The spool member has the balloon tether wrapped around it to be unravelled at will. Integrally disposed between the inner face of such circular plate members are integrally affixed means to retard the process of unravelling of the balloon string so that the balloon string and thus the balloon do not become beyond the control of the person holding the balloon. An additional function of the subject device is such that if the balloon escapes the clutches of the holder, the balloon weight device will function as an anchor hold-down in order to prevent the balloon rising uncontrollably into the atmosphere.
