ABSTRACT:
Structures are provided in inflatable displays which include arrays of electric lamps which are operable for creating a variety of lighting effects including both stationary and flashing or simulated moving light effects. In one form, the display is formed of flexible transparent plastic and extends a substantial distance above the ground, when inflated, to provide support for one or more strings of electric lamps. The lamps of each string or row thereof are intermittently energized in a manner to provide the illusion of upward or downward movement of one or more light sources to attract attention. The inflated portion of the display, because of its transparency, appears to be substantially invisible at night time. In another form, the inflated portion of the display is bulbous in configuration when internally inflated. In yet another form, the inflated portion of the display comprises one or more upwardly extending elongated or tapered portions, each supporting one or more strings of electric lamps thereon. The lamps may be supported on the exterior surface of the inflated wall or interior thereof so as to be protected from the elements. The string of lamps is retained in position by securing the wire or cable to which the lamps are attached to the inside or outside surface of the inflatable wall.
