Abstract: An illuminated balloon adapted to function as a signal beacon or as a display device, the balloon being constituted by an inflatable bag of translucent material having a spout. Inserted in the spout to hermetically seal the bag is a stopper having a self-sealing plug portion to receive a hypodermic needle for injecting a lighter-than-air gas into the bag in order to inflate it to its full dimensions. Disposed within the bag at the end of a pair of stiff leads and connected thereto is an electrical light bulb, the leads extending through the stopper to external terminals. A battery serving as an anchor for the floating balloon is connected to the terminals by means of a flexible cable acting also to tether the balloon.
