摘要： A balloon signalling system which includes a hollow flexible casing having a container section with an upper open end and a bottom closed end, and a cap for placement on the upper end of the container section. A hollow flexible flask having an opening is disposed in the container section. Disposed in the flask is a reactable material which when contacted by a certain solution, produces hydrogen gas. Also disposed in the flask is a cartridge which is breakable when bent, with the cartridge containing the certain solution. A string or other tether is held in the container section of the casing, with one end of the string being attached to the casing. Also included is an inflatable balloon dimensioned to fit in the cap when deflated and having a mouth through which gas may pass into and out of the balloon. Positioned in the mouth is a one-way valve for allowing hydrogen gas to enter the balloon and for preventing discharge of gas therefrom. A tube connects the opening of the flask to the valve to carry hydrogen gas from the flask to the balloon to inflate the balloon. The other end of the string is attached to the balloon.

摘要： A balloon signalling system includes a hollow, generally cylindrical casing having a container section with an upper open end and a bottom closed end, and a cap placeable on the upper end of the container section to form an enclosure. Also included is a spool on which a string may be wound, with the spool being disposed in the container section near the bottom end thereof to rotate about a transverse axis. A cartridge containing lighter-than-air gas under pressure is disposed in the container section above the spool so that a nozzle end of the cartridge protrudes from the container section when the cap is removed. A valve is disposed in the nozzle end of the cartridge and is manually operable from a closed position to an open position to allow gas to escape from the cartridge out the nozzle end and into a balloon which is mounted on the nozzle end. The balloon is dimensioned to fit in the cap when deflated and includes a mouth which may be placed over the nozzle and to secure the balloon to the cartridge.

摘要翻译： 球囊信号系统包括中空的，大致圆柱形的壳体，其具有容器部分，该容器部分具有上开口端和底部封闭端，以及可放置在容器部分的上端上以形成外壳的盖。 还包括一个线轴，其上可以缠绕弦线，其中线轴设置在靠近其底端的容器部分中以围绕横向轴线旋转。 在压力下的容纳轻于空气的气体的墨盒设置在卷轴上方的容器部分中，使得当盖被移除时墨盒的喷嘴端部从容器部分突出。 阀设置在药筒的喷嘴端部，并且可以从关闭位置手动操作到打开位置，以允许气体从药筒从喷嘴端部排出并进入安装在喷嘴端部的气囊。 气囊的尺寸设计成在放气时适合盖子，并且包括可以放置在喷嘴上方并将球囊固定到墨盒的口。
