ABSTRACT:
A projectile launching and recirculating display apparatus and method are provided which preferably include a collector extending in a generally horizontal plane, and having an opening positioned in a medial portion thereof for collecting a plurality of projectiles, such as balloons, therein. A blower has an output positioned to underlie the collector opening for blowing a gas upwardly through the opening and thereby blowing the plurality of projectiles upwardly when overlying the collector opening. An elongate, vertically-extending chute has a lower end thereof positioned to overlie and be spaced-apart from the collector opening and the output of the blower and an upper end extending upwardly therefrom so that the plurality of projectiles overlying the collector opening and the output of the blower are projected upwardly into the lower end of the chute, through the chute, outwardly from the upper end of the chute, and outwardly from the path of the blowing gas for collecting by the collector after falling downwardly from the upper end of the chute to be recirculated to the lower end of the chute to thereby provide a continuous projectile cascading-type appearance.
