ABSTRACT:
An inflated elastic balloon has a tube passing completely therethrough. The tube is used to connect a plurality of balloons in a display pattern and to introduces a string of lights into the balloon interiors for display purposes. A disk having a bore is depressed into a deflated balloon wall and the wall covering the bore has a small hole or orifice in it. The tube passes through the disk bore and the wall orifice. A collar secures the balloon wall to the disk such that the wall material surrounding the wall orifice remains elastic and forms a sliding seal against the tube upon passage therethrough. In an alternate embodiment, the disk bore includes constriction rings that form a sliding seal against the tube and the balloon wall is secured and sealed against the disk. The method of passing a tube in sealed relationship through a wall of an inflatable balloon comprises the steps of inserting the disk into a deflated balloon through the balloon neck, depressing the disk first side into the deflated balloon elastic wall, securing the wall to the disk such that the balloon wall portion covering the disk bore essentially will not be expanded upon balloon inflation, making an orifice in the balloon wall portion covering the disk bore, and inserting the tube through the balloon wall orifice and disk bore.
