Embodiment for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following examples are examples, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention only to them.

Example

[0011] As shown in FIG. 4, the soap bubble play set S according to the present embodiment is configured to include the following components. The set S includes a plurality of (for example, two) cylindrical main bodies 10 (soap bubble blowing tools) for generating soap bubbles, and a storage case 11 for storing them. The storage case 11 has a box-shaped appearance and an openable and closable upper lid portion, and is configured to be able to accommodate a plurality of cylindrical main bodies 10, ··· inside. The storage case 11 has a design imitating a tobacco container on its surface, and has a high design quality.

[0012] Furthermore, the set S includes a container 12 containing a soap bubble liquid for forming a soap bubble film. The container 12 is provided with a lid portion capable of hermetically holding the liquid, and has a small bottle shape that is easy to carry. The user can form a liquid film on a plurality of uneven portions by immersing the tip of the cylindrical main body 10 in the soap bubble liquid in the container 12.

[0013] In addition, the set S includes an instruction manual 13 describing the usage method and precautions. The instruction manual 13 specifies how to make soap bubbles, precautions in use, guidance for guardians, etc., and provides information for playing safely.

[0014] In this way, the soap bubble play set S of the present embodiment integrally includes a plurality of soap bubble generating devices 1 (cylindrical main bodies 10), a container 12 containing soap bubble liquid, a storage case 11 for storing these, and an instruction manual 13, thus having a highly convenient configuration that allows the user to start playing immediately. In particular, with the storage case 11 having excellent design, each member can be managed collectively, and it is easy to carry and store. Therefore, it is suitable not only for household use but also for use in events, educational sites, etc.

[0015] And as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the soap bubble generating device 1 according to the present embodiment is composed of an elongated cylindrical cylindrical main body 10. The cylindrical main body 10 forms a flow path inside for generating soap bubbles from the other end (hereinafter referred to as the "discharge side end 102") when the user blows air from one end (hereinafter referred to as the "blowing side end 101"). The appearance of this soap bubble generating device 1 reminds people of a cigarette.

[0016] At the discharge side end 102, a plurality of uneven portions 103, etc. are provided, which are formed to project at equal intervals with intervals along the circumferential direction of the cylindrical main body 10. These uneven portions 103, etc. have a rectangular or trapezoidal frame portion at the tip edge portion, and a U-shaped frame-like opening 104 is formed between each adjacent uneven portion 103. These uneven portions 103 and the frame-like opening 104 are parts where a thin film is formed by attaching soap bubble liquid, and a plurality of soap bubble films F are held.

[0017] That is, the conventional soap bubble generating device (blowing rod) had a tapered shape (trumpet shape) that became thicker toward the tip, but the cylindrical main body 10 of this embodiment has a uniform rod shape (cylindrical shape) with an unchanged outer diameter. This is achieved by providing a tapered groove for storing liquid to form the film F on the inner surface side, making the thickness from the blowing side end 101 to the discharge side end 102 constant.

[0018] Furthermore, by providing the groove on the inner surface side longer and designing the diameter of the constricted portion where the film is formed to be smaller, it is possible to generate long, fine bubbles like smoke. Note that if the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 10 is made small and the shape is extremely thin and straight, the air hitting the film is too strong and soap bubbles cannot be formed. Therefore, the air introduction opening 105 originally provided for preventing backflow is enlarged, and by allowing a large amount of air to escape, the amount of air reaching the tip (discharge side end 102) is adjusted. This air introduction opening 105 is arranged to mimic the filter of a cigarette.

[0019] Also, a plurality of slit-shaped air introduction openings 105, ··· are formed in the middle part of the cylindrical body 10. This air introduction opening 105 plays a role of taking in outside air, appropriately adjusting the flow velocity and pressure of the breath blown by the user, and supplying a uniform air flow to the discharge side end 102 while suppressing film breakage. As a result, air can be uniformly flowed to all the liquid films F formed on the uneven portions 103, and a plurality of soap bubbles can be efficiently formed simultaneously.

[0020] The user dips the soap bubble liquid into the uneven portions 103 and the frame-shaped opening 104 of the discharge side end 102 to form thin soap bubble films F in each opening. Then, when the user blows air from the blowing side end 101, an air flow mixed with the outside air taken in from the slit 105 hits the liquid film F through the uneven portions 103 and the frame-shaped opening 104, and these films expand to form soap bubbles and are discharged. Due to the three-dimensional arrangement of the uneven portions 103, the soap bubbles are less likely to interfere with each other, and a plurality of them can be stably formed.

[0021] The materials of the cylindrical body 10 and the uneven portions 103 are not limited, but it is preferable to form them from lightweight materials such as plastic, metal, and paper tubes. The shape of the uneven portions 103 can be a rectangle, a trapezoid, an ellipse, etc., and it is desirable to appropriately design the shape and interval in consideration of film formability and liquid retention.

[0022] This soap bubble generating device 1 is mainly composed of a cylindrical main body 10, and its appearance is made to resemble a cigarette as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0023] As described above, as shown in FIG. 4, the soap bubble play set S of the present invention includes a plurality of (for example, two) cylindrical main bodies 10 (soap bubble blowers), a container 12 containing soap bubble liquid, and a box-shaped storage case 11 for storing these. Further, an instruction manual 13 describing the usage method and precautions is also included.

[0024] The storage case 11 has an internal space capable of accommodating a plurality of cylindrical main bodies 10,... and is provided with an openable and closable upper lid portion. Also, the container 12 capable of sealing the soap bubble liquid is provided in a shape that is easy to carry while preventing leakage of the liquid. This storage case 11 has an appearance reminiscent of a cigarette box.

[0025] The instruction manual 13 describes how to make soap bubbles, precautions for use, guidance for guardians, etc., and provides information for the user to use safely and correctly.

[0026] According to the soap bubble play set S configured as described above, the soap bubble generating device 1 and the necessary accessories are integrated, providing high convenience for the user to start playing immediately, and being easy to carry and store. Therefore, it can be widely used for home, events, and education. Further, by storing the soap bubble generating devices 1, 1 similar to cigarettes in the storage case 11 similar to a cigarette box, it can present an appearance as if smoking a cigarette, but actually be able to generate soap bubbles.

[0027] (Effect) (1) As described above, the soap bubble generating device 1 of this embodiment includes a cylindrical main body 10, a plurality of uneven portions 103 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the cylindrical main body 10 at one end of the cylindrical main body 10, ···, a plurality of frame-shaped openings 104 partitioned by the plurality of uneven portions 103, ···, and an air introduction opening 105 provided in the middle portion of the cylindrical main body 10. By blowing air from the other end of the cylindrical main body 10, the soap bubble film F formed on the uneven portions 103 and the frame-shaped openings 104 is inflated to simultaneously generate a plurality of soap bubbles. Therefore, it is characterized in that a plurality of soap bubbles can be easily generated simultaneously, and the soap bubble generating device 1 has excellent design.

[0028] (2) Further, since the uneven portions 103 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the cylindrical main body 10, soap bubbles of substantially the same size can be continuously generated.

[0029] (3) Furthermore, since the cylindrical main body 10 is made of plastic, metal, or paper, it can be easily manufactured, and has a predetermined durability or can be disposable.

[0030] (4) And the soap bubble play set S of this embodiment includes the soap bubble generating device 1 described in any of the above, a container 12 storing the soap bubble liquid, a storage case 11 capable of storing the soap bubble generating device 1 and the container 12, and an instruction manual 13 describing the usage method and / or precautions. Therefore, it becomes a highly convenient set S including the above-described soap bubble generating device 1. In addition, the appearance of the soap bubble play set S is similar to that of cigarettes or cigarette boxes, full of playfulness.
