Patent ID: 7059930

Claim:
A toy for producing bubbles comprising: a) a housing; b) a liquid dispensing port located in adjacency to a bubble forming opening located towards the forward end of the toy so that liquid for forming the bubble is dispensed from the port to a circumferentially located ring around the opening, the port, ring and opening being at or near the bubble outlet for the toy; c) a separable reservoir is connectable with the housing, the reservoir containing the bubble liquid capable of producing the bubbles; d) a pump in the housing, the pump being connected with the reservoir by a tube to supply the liquid to the dispensing port and in turn on exiting from the port to the opening and ring; e) a fan for blowing air in the housing through the space formed by the ring and in turn through the bubble forming liquid located across the opening of the ring; and f) a propeller mounted upstream of the ring and relatively axially of the ring and being freely rotatable to facilitate the spreading of the bubble liquid across the opening of the ring and thereby facilitate the location of the film across the opening, the propeller being spaced from the ring and the space and being rotatable under the action of an air stream developed in the chamber by the fan and directed to pass past the propeller and through the opening.
