Abstract
An inflatable Ferris wheel that can be rotated by a motor has a base having a pedestal chamber connected to two sidewall chambers, and an inflatable wheel having two end-plate chambers connected to a central hub chamber. A major hollow shaft is located through the end-plate chambers of the inflatable wheel to rotatably mount the wheel in the open space defined by the sidewalls of the base. Multiple ornaments are attached to minor hollow shafts and rotatably mounted to the inflatable wheel. A blower-fan mounted on a seat is connected to an intake pipe at one of the sidewall chambers to inflate the Ferris wheel. A motor with an arbor is located inside one of the sidewall chambers and is attached to the major hollow shaft. The motor rotates the inflatable wheel and the ornaments to create a dynamic sight and an exciting atmosphere.
