Inflatable figure assembly

Abstract

A displayable inflatable figure has a main hollow body that is of a soft and air-permeable fabric. A fan assembly attached to a base is arranged to force air into the main body. An internally attached lighting system is fastened to provide illumination without external lighting. When inflation is desired, the fan continuously pumps air into the hollow main body. When the hollow main body is inflated, excessive air leaks out from the fabric so that the figure can keep a good shape.

1 . An inflatable figure assembly, comprising: 
 a hollow main body, wherein said hollow main body is made of soft permeable fabric and forms a figure when inflated;    a base having a hole, at least a portion of the hollow main body being attached to the base;    a fan system attachable to the base and arranged to channel air through the hole in the base and into the hollow main body above the base; and    a lighting system arranged to be supported inside the hollow main body when the hollow main body is inflated, the lighting system comprising at least one lighting body that illuminates the figure from within, wherein the hollow main body allows air to diffuse through it at a rate no faster than the fan system discharges air into the hollow main body.    
   
   
       2 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one lighting body further comprises a bulb connected to a power cord.  
   
   
       3 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one lighting body comprises a bulb and a cover.  
   
   
       4 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising tie-down rings secured to said hollow main body.  
   
   
       5 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 4 , comprising an anchor attachable to each tie-down ring.  
   
   
       6 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one lighting body is a plurality of lighting bodies.  
   
   
       7 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of lighting bodies further comprises a bulb connected to a power cord.  
   
   
       8 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of lighting bodies comprises the bulb and a cover.  
   
   
       9 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the fan system is located above the base and within the hollow main body.  
   
   
       10 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the hole is in a bottom of the base and air is received upwardly through the hole when the hollow main body is inflated by the fan system.  
   
   
       11 . The inflatable figure assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the hole is in a bottom of the base and air is received upwardly through the hole when the hollow main body is inflated by the fan system.
