A balloon pedestal including a mounting bracket for attachment to a land vehicle. The mounting bracket has a hook portion for grasping the top of a window of a land vehicle and a base portion secured to the hook portion. The base portion is provided with a keyhole. A balloon support is releasably joined to the mounting bracket. The balloon support has a mount with a key for selective insertion into, and rotation within, the keyhole and a handle for manipulating the key. Rotation of the key within the keyhole selectively locks the balloon support to the mounting bracket. A rod extends upwardly from the handle. A cup is positioned atop the rod for carrying a balloon.

1. A balloon pedestal, comprisinga mounting bracket for attachment to a land vehicle, said mounting bracket including:a hook portion for grasping the top of a window of a land vehicle; and,a base portion being secured to said hook portion, said base portion having a keyhole therein; and,a balloon support being releasably joined to said mounting bracket, said balloon support including;a mount having a key for selective insertion into, and rotation within, said keyhole whereby rotation of said key selectively locks said balloon support to said mounting bracket, and a handle extending upwardly from said key for manipulating said key;a rod extending upwardly from said handle; and,a cup positioned atop said rod for carrying a balloon.2. The balloon pedestal of claim 1 wherein said keyhole includes:a bore;a notch running along the length of said bore and extending outwardly therefrom; and'a peripheral groove beginning at said notch and extending about said bore; and said key comprises:a cylindrical pin for snug, yet slidable and rotatable, positioning within said bore;a tab projecting outwardly from said cylindrical pin for snug, yet slidable, positioning within said notch and said peripheral groove; and,whereby the selective rotation of said cylindrical pin to position said tab within said notch allows the detachment of said balloon support from said mounting bracket and the selective rotation of said cylindrical pin to position said tab within said peripheral groove locks said balloon support to said mounting bracket.3. The balloon pedestal of claim 1 wherein said handle is provided with a plurality of elongated bulges for grasping in the hand of a user.4. The balloon pedestal of claim 1 wherein said cup includes a conical side wall having a slot therein for receiving the nozzle of an inflated balloon, said slot including:a V-shaped upper portion;an intermediate portion of even width extending downwardly from said upper portion; and,a lower portion being relatively wider than said intermediate portion.5. The balloon pedestal of claim 4 wherein said conical side wall is reinforced about its periphery by a plurality of radial ribs.6. A balloon pedestal, comprisinga mounting bracket for attachment to a land vehicle, said mounting bracket including:a hook portion for grasping the top of a window of a land vehicle; and,a base portion being secured to said hook portion, said base portion having a keyhole therein, said keyhole including;a bore extending from the top to the bottom of said base portion;a notch running along the length of said bore and extending outwardly therefrom; and,a peripheral groove beginning at said notch and extending about the bottom of said bore; and,a balloon support for retaining a balloon at a fixed height above said mounting bracket, said balloon support including;a mount being releasably joined to said mounting bracket, said mount including:a key for selective insertion into, and rotation within, said keyhole, said key including:a cylindrical pin for snug, slidable and rotatable positioning within said bore;a tab projecting laterally from the bottom of said cylindrical pin for snug and slidable positioning within said notch and said peripheral groove; and,whereby the selective rotation of said cylindrical pin to position said tab within said notch allows the detachment of said balloon support from said mounting bracket and the selective rotation of said cylindrical pin to position said tab within said peripheral groove locks said balloon support to said mounting bracket; and,a handle extending upwardly from said key for manipulating said key; and,a rod extending upwardly from said handle; and,a cup positioned atop said rod for cradling a balloon.7. The balloon pedestal of claim 6 wherein said handle is provided with a plurality of elongated bulges for grasping in the hand of a user.8. The balloon pedestal of claim 6 wherein said cup includes a conical side wall having a pair of slots therein for receiving the nozzle of an inflated balloon, each said slot including:a V-shaped upper portion;an intermediate portion of even width extending downwardly from said upper portion; and,a lower portion being relatively wider than said intermediate portion.9. The balloon pedestal of claim 4 wherein said conical side wall is reinforced about its periphery by a plurality of radial ribs.
