Benefits of technology

[0009] 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.
[0010] It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for effectively forming a film of bubble solution across a bubble ring in a manner which minimizes spillage of the bubble solution.
[0011] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus having a simple construction that effectively forms a film of bubble solution across a bubble ring.
[0012] It is a further object of the present invention to provide an apparatus where droplets of unused bubble solution can be returned to the bubble solution container, and having a valve that prevents bubble solution from spilling from the bubble solution container.

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.

Embodiment Construction

[0034] The following detailed description is of the best presently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating general principles of embodiments of the invention. The scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims. In certain instances, detailed descriptions of well-known devices and mechanisms are omitted so as to not obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.

[0035]FIGS. 1-14 illustrate one embodiment of a bubble generating assembly 20 according to the present invention. The assembly 20 has a housing 22 that includes a handle section 24 and an barrel section 26. The housing 22 can be provided in the form of two symmetrical outer shells that are connected together by, for example, screws or welding or glue. These outer shells together define a hollow interior for housing the internal components of the assembly 20, as describ...

Abstract

A bubble generating assembly has a housing with a wiping bar secured to a permanent location extending across a portion of the front opening of the housing. The bubble generating assembly further includes a container coupled to the housing and retaining bubble solution, a trigger mechanism, a bubble generating ring positioned adjacent the front opening, a tubing that couples the interior of the container with the ring, and a link assembly that couples the trigger mechanism and the ring in a manner in which actuation of the trigger mechanism causes the ring to be moved from a first position to a second position across the wiping bar.

Description

RELATED CASES [0001] This is a continuation-in-part of co-pending Ser. No. 10 / 195,816, entitled “Bubble Generating Assembly”, filed Jul. 15, 2002, which is in turn a continuation-in-part of co-pending Ser. No. 10 / 133,195, entitled “Apparatus and Method for Delivering Bubble Solution to a Dipping Container”, filed Apr. 26, 2002, which is in turn a continuation-in-part of co-pending Ser. No. 10 / 099,431, entitled “Apparatus and Method for Delivering Bubble Solution to a Dipping Container”, filed Mar. 15, 2002, whose disclosures are incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] 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. [0004] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0005] Bubble producing toys are very popular am...
