Abstract: Reusable balloon multi-fill system. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are balloon multi-fill systems including a hose-end adapter, a plurality of hoses coupled to the hose-end adapter, and a plurality of balloon nipples coupled to the hoses. Each balloon nipple includes: a frustum region distal to the connector; and a tubular region distal to the frustum region, the tubular region configured to hold an attached balloon open such that a sealing member of the balloon can lodge in the neck of the balloon.

Abstract: Bean bag chairs and related manufacturing methods and apparatus. Some methods comprise joining first and second panels defining corresponding surfaces. The second panel further comprises piles projecting from its surface with a portion of its surface being substantially smooth. A seam between the substantially smooth portion and the first panel joins the panels. The piles can be chenille piles and some of the piles can be removed to create the smooth portion. The second panel, though, can be received with the smooth portion being free of holes. Various methods include joining a zipper to the second panel via another smooth portion. In some chairs the seam is behind the piles. A jig can be placed in the chairs to expand the chairs and the chairs can be supported from above during filing. The chairs can also be vented during the filling via a clamped aperture defined by the chair.
