Patent number: 7710062Abstract: A driver with a reverse-rotation preventer for an inflatable rotating exhibit is mounted inside an inflatable rotating exhibit having a transparent inflatable body and a rotating body and has a rotating assembly and a reverse-rotation preventer. The rotating assembly connects to and rotates the rotating body and has a synchronous motor that rotates in a direction and has a shaft. The shaft is driven by the synchronous motor and rotates the rotating body. However, the synchronous motor will reverse its rotation when the rotating body encounters even temporary resistance while rotating. The reverse-rotation preventer applies a resistance when the rotating body rotates in the wrong direction to make the synchronous motor reverse rotation. Consequently, the reverse-rotation preventer ensures that the rotating inflatable exhibit rotates in the desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2007Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Gemmy Industries CorporationInventor: Sheng-Hung Hsu

The rotating assembly connects to and rotates the rotating body, has a synchronous motor. The synchronous motor rotates in a direction and has a shaft. The shaft is driven by the synchronous motor and rotates the rotating body. However, the synchronous motor will reverse its rotation when the rotating body encounters even temporary resistance while rotating. The reverse-rotation preventer applies a resistance when the rotating body rotates in the wrong direction to make the synchronous motor reverse rotation again to the desired direction. So the reverse-rotation preventer ensures that the rotating inflatable exhibit rotates in the desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2007Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Gemmy Industries CorporationInventor: Sheng-Hung Hsu

Publication number: 20090017713Abstract: A smoke-filling-bubble generator has a smoke generator, at least one blower and a nozzle assembly. The smoke generator may contain nebulizaing liquid and is able to generate smoke. The blower generates airflow to blow the smoke generated by the smoke generator. The nozzle assembly includes a swaying arm and a nozzle mounted on the swaying arm. The swaying arm controllably dips the nozzle into suds contained in a cup and inserts the nozzle into an outlet from which the smoke is blown. With the smoke gradually blown out of the outlet, bubbles containing smoke are individually formed in the nozzle and fly into the air. In such a manner, when the bubbles burst in the air, the smoke may emerge out and mix up the bubbles to present a novel effect that is dazzling and magical. Therefore, the smoke-filling-bubble generator provides a unique entertaining effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2007Publication date: January 15, 2009Applicant: GEMMY INDUSTRIES CORPORATIONInventor: Hsi-Yao Chung
