Benefits of technology

[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for effectively forming a film of bubble solution across a bubble ring.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, this continuous pouring and re-pouring of bubble solution from the bottle to the dish, and from the dish back to the bottle, often results in unintended spillage, which can be messy, dirty, and a waste of bubble solution.

Abstract

A bubble generating assembly has a housing, a trigger mechanism, a bubble generating ring positioned adjacent a front opening of the housing, and a lid assembly positioned adjacent the front opening. The lid assembly has a lid that is movable between a first position where it completely covers and contacts a front surface of the ring, and a second position where it is spaced apart from the front surface of the ring. The bubble generating assembly also includes a link assembly that couples the trigger mechanism and the ring in a manner in which actuation of the trigger mechanism causes the lid to be moved from the first position to the second position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to bubble toys, and in particular, to a bubble generating assembly which automatically forms a bubble film over a bubble ring without the need to dip the bubble ring into a container or a dish of bubble solution. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Bubble producing toys are very popular among children who enjoy producing bubbles of different shapes and sizes. Many bubble producing toys have previously been provided. Perhaps the simplest example has a stick with a circular opening or ring at one end, resembling a wand. A bubble solution film is produced when the ring is dipped into a dish that holds bubble solution or bubble producing fluid (such as soap) and then removed therefrom. Bubbles are then formed by blowing carefully against the film. Such a toy requires dipping every time a bubble is to created, and the bubble solution must accompany the wand from one location to ano...
