Abstract

The present invention provides a balloon weight system for an inflatable balloon having, singularly or in any combination, an electronic music producing device, a line distance adjusting device, to produce a descending and/or ascending of the balloon, and a fragrance distribution device.

Claims (8)

1. A balloon weight system comprising:

a balloon weight having a projection for attaching the balloon weight to an object;

a line having a first end and a second end, the first end is associated with the balloon weight and the second end is connected to a piezoelectric member; and

a device on the balloon weight selected from the group consisting of a sound producing device, a line length distance adjusting device and a fragrance distribution device, the sound producing device capable of generating a signal representative of a sound and sending the signal through the line to the piezoelectric member where the sound signal is converted into sound in an inflatable object.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the sound producing device comprises a printed circuit board, a chip, a power source and an acoustic medium connected to the second end of the line.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the piezoelectric member has a surface with an adhesive for attaching to a surface of an inflatable object.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the piezoelectric member comprises a bimetallic diaphragm.

5. The system of claim 2 wherein the line is an electrical conduit.
