Abstract
A balloon rack for buoyant balloons displays balloons at approximately eye level in a neat, untangled and orderly fashion, by providing an elongated retention slot for securely receiving a balloon weight secured to the lower end of each balloon's tether. The elongated retention slot can retain various types of balloon weights, including spool-shaped balloon weights, within the slot, and the rack can be mounted to a panel or flat surface. Alternately, the rack may be free-standing.
