Abstract

A dual output blower for inflatable puppet has a fan and a valve assembly. The fan has an inlet, a primary outlet and a valve outlet. The valve assembly comprises a body, a switching board and a driver. The body has a valve chamber formed in the body, a valve inlet, two valves and a blower output, each communicating with the valve chamber. The switching board is rotatably mounted in the valve chamber. The driver is mounted securely on the switching board and rotates the switching board to determine which valve of the valve assembly inputs and outputs air. When an inflatable puppet is connected to one of the valves of the valve assembly, the driver may control the orientation of the switching board to guide the air and make the inflatable puppet perform novel and entertaining movements.

Claims
