Seesaw-typed inflatable puppet

Abstract

A seesaw-typed inflatable puppet has an inflatable and seesaw-typed main body, a first envelope, a second envelope, a blower generating air and being connected to the main body and a valve assembly being connected between the first envelope and the second envelope. The air generated by the blower flows into the main body to inflate the main body, selectively flows into the first envelope to deflate the second envelope and flows into the second envelope to deflate the first through the valve assembly. Thus, the first envelope and the second envelope inflate and deflate alternatively. The main body swings back and forth like a seesaw and performs entertaining and novel movements.

1 . An inflatable puppet comprising:
 a main body being hollow, being inflatable and having
 a swing segment being annular, being seesaw-typed and having
 a raised front end; 
 a raised rear end; 
 an inner annular wall; 
 a mounting cavity being formed between the raised front and rear ends and being surrounded by the inner annular wall; 
 an inlet being formed through the inner annular wall of the swing segment; and 
 an outlet being formed through the inner annular wall of the swing segment; and 
 
 a decorative segment being integrally formed on and communicating with the swing segment; 
   a first envelope being mounted in the mounting cavity, corresponding to and being near the raised front end of the swing segment of the main body and having an opening;   a second envelope being mounted in the mounting cavity, corresponding to and being near the raised rear end of the swing segment of the main body and having an opening;   a blower being mounted in the mounting cavity, being mounted between the first envelope and the second envelope, being connected to the swing segment of the main body and having an outlet being connected to and communicating with the inlet of the swing segment; and   a valve assembly being mounted on the blower, being mounted in the mounting cavity, being mounted between the first envelope and the second envelope and having
 a base having
 a top; 
 a bottom; 
 a valve chamber; 
 an inlet valve being formed on and communicating with the valve chamber, corresponding to and being connected to the outlet of the swing segment and communicating with the swing segment of the main body; 
 an outlet valve being formed on and communicating with the valve chamber and being opposite to the inlet valve of the base; 
 a first connecting valve being formed on and communicating with the valve chamber, being connected to the opening of the first envelope, communicating with the first envelope and selectively communicating with the inlet and outlet valves; and 
 a second connecting valve being formed on and communicating with the valve chamber, being connected to the opening of the second envelope, communicating with the second envelope, being opposite to the first connecting valve of the base and selectively communicating with the inlet and outlet valves; 
 
 a switching separator being mounted rotatably in the valve chamber, allowing the first and second connecting valves selectively communicating with the inlet and outlet valves and having a middle; 
 a recessed wheel being securely mounted on the switching separator and having a annular edge; 
 a guiding device being mounted rotatably on the base near the recessed wheel and rotating the recessed wheel and the switching separator; and 
 a driver being mounted beside the base of the valve assembly and having an axle being extending toward the base of the valve assembly and being connected to the guiding device. 
   
   
   
       2 . The inflatable puppet as claim in  claim 1 , wherein
 the swing segment of the main body further has
 multiple lengthwise chambers comprising
 a first lengthwise chamber; and 
 a second lengthwise chamber; and 
 
 multiple transverse chambers being perpendicular to and communicating with the lengthwise chambers; 
   the inlet of the swing segment communicates with the first lengthwise chamber of the swing segment; and   the outlet of the swing segment communicates with the second lengthwise chamber of the swing segment.   
   
   
       3 . The inflatable puppet as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the decorative segment of the main body is a doll. 
   
   
       4 . The inflatable puppet as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the decorative segment of the main body is a doll. 
   
   
       5 . The inflatable puppet as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein
 the switching separator further has a shaft being securely mounted through the middle of the switching separator, being mounted rotatably in the base and having
 an inner end being connected rotatably to the bottom of the base of the valve assembly; and 
 an outer end being connected rotatably to the top of the base of the valve assembly and protruding out of the base of the valve assembly; and 
   the recessed wheel is securely mounted on the outer end of the shaft of the switching separator and has
 four guiding recesses being formed separately in the annular edge of the recessed wheel; and 
 four guiding tracks being formed separately in the annular edge of the recessed wheel and being formed respectively between the adjacent guiding recesses. 
   
   
   
       6 . The inflatable puppet as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein
 the switching separator further has a shaft being securely mounted through the middle of the switching separator, being mounted rotatably in the base and having
 an inner end being connected rotatably to the bottom of the base of the valve assembly; and 
 an outer end being connected rotatably to the top of the base of the valve assembly and protruding out of the base of the valve assembly; and 
   the recessed wheel is securely mounted on the outer end of the shaft of the switching separator and has
 four guiding recesses being formed separately in the annular edge of the recessed wheel; and 
 four guiding tracks being formed separately in the annular edge of the recessed wheel and being formed respectively between the adjacent guiding recesses. 
   
   
   
       7 . The inflatable puppet as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein
 the guiding device of the valve assembly further has
 a rotating rod being mounted rotatably on the base of the valve assembly adjacent to the recessed wheel; 
 a cam being securely mounted around the rotating rod, corresponding to the recessed wheel and having
 a concave periphery edge; and 
 a convex periphery edge selectively abutting one guiding recess of the recessed wheel; 
 
 an extending board being securely mounted around the rotating rod, protruding out of the concave periphery edge of the cam and having a distal end; and 
 a guiding rod being mounted through the extending board near the distal end of the extending board and being selectively mounted into and moving along one guiding track of the recessed wheel; and 
   the driver of the valve assembly is connected to the rotating rod of the guiding device.   
   
   
       8 . The inflatable puppet as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein
 the guiding device of the valve assembly further has
 a rotating rod being mounted rotatably on the base of the valve assembly adjacent to the recessed wheel; 
 a cam being securely mounted around the rotating rod, corresponding to the recessed wheel and having
 a concave periphery edge; and 
 a convex periphery edge selectively abutting one guiding recess of the recessed wheel; 
 
 an extending board being securely mounted around the rotating rod, protruding out of the concave periphery edge of the cam and having a distal end; and
