Benefits of technology

[0049] It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a toy for producing vapor or smoke filled bubbles

Problems solved by technology

Examples range from simple mechanical rings which are dipped into a soapy liquid, then passed through the air to generate a succession of bubbles, to complicated automatic bubble-making devices for automatically producing hundreds of bubbles.
None of the conventional devices produce variable sized bubb

Embodiment Construction

[0089]FIGS. 1-3 illustrate a toy bubble gun 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The gun 10 preferably has a plastic housing 12 that is formed of a first half or portion 14 and a second half or portion 16. The two halves 14 and 16 preferably encase at least a portion of the bubble and smoke or vapor making mechanisms and are coupled together using screws. The gun 10 includes a base 18, a handle 20 and a barrel section 22. The barrel section 22 has a main portion 24 and a pivotal portion 26. However, it is noted that the gun can have any shape or configuration desirable and can be formed from any suitable material.

[0090] As shown in FIGS. 3, 7 and 8, the base portion has a substantially flat surface 28, with a door 30 that allows access to battery compartment 32. Substantially flat surface 28 is relatively wide, with respect to the handle 20 and long enough to provide a stable base for the gun 10. In other words, the base allows the gun 10 to be placed on...

Abstract

A toy for producing bubbles including a nozzle connected to the housing. The nozzle is adapted to receive and at least temporarily hold a bubble solution. The toy also includes a vapor generator mounted in the housing, where the vapor generator is positioned adjacent to the nozzle and an air mover mounted in the housing, where the air mover is positioned adjacent to the vapor generator. The toy further includes at least one activator movably connected to the housing. The activator being in communication with the vapor generator and the air mover. Upon the activation of the activator by a user, the activator causes the vapor generator to generate vapor and causes the air mover to move an amount of air through the vapor generator and the bubble solution on the nozzle to produce at least one vapor-filled bubble.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 810,329, filed Mar. 25, 2004, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein, and which is a continuation of and claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 457,111, filed Mar. 25, 2003.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Toys provide excitement and enjoyment for children. Toys come in several different sizes, shapes, configurations and perform many different functions. [0003] A variety of devices including a variety of toys have been designed for producing one or more bubbles, either simultaneously or in succession. Examples range from simple mechanical rings which are dipped into a soapy liquid, then passed through the air to generate a succession of bubbles, to complicated automatic bubble-making devices for automatically producing hundreds of bubbles. [0004] Additionally, various devices h...
