ABSTRACT:
A balloon vending machine having a number of uninflated balloons positioned in a balloon support structure housed within the balloon vending machine. Attached to each balloon is a valve that not only maintains the balloon in the support structure but facilitates the inflation of the balloon. An operator selects one of a variety of balloons available for inflation. By rotating the balloon support housing the various balloons. Once the operator selects a balloon for inflation, the chosen balloon is indexed within the balloon support structure. The balloon is then inflated by dispensing a pressured gas through a series of regulators while still positioned in the balloon support structure. After the balloon is completely inflated, the inflator transports the balloon to a balloon hatch for delivery to the operator. The balloon hatch prohibits the operator from having access to the internal working of the balloon vending machine while retrieving the inflated balloon.
