Patent ID: 8272915

Claim:
A bubble generating assembly, comprising: a housing having a base that rests on a surface, the housing having a motor, an air generator coupled to the motor, and a bubble generator associated therewith; a source of bubble solution positioned at the bottom of the base adjacent the surface; and a pump system provided inside the housing that draws bubble solution from the source to the bubble generator; wherein the bubble generator includes a plurality of toothed openings each defining a channel through which air from the air generator is directed, and a plurality of rotating applicators each having a shaft, a curved section extending from one end of the shaft, and a gear at another end of the shaft that has teeth circumferentially around the shaft, with each of the gears operably coupled to the motor via a control gear that is positioned below the bubble generator, the control gear engaging the teeth of each of the gears of the applicators, and the control gear operably coupled to the motor such that actuation of the motor causes the control gear to rotate, wherein one of each of the curved sections is positioned inside one of each of the channels of the toothed openings and rotates inside each respective channel, with bubble solution that is delivered to the bubble generator flowing through the toothed openings; and wherein the air generator is positioned below the bubble generator, and the air from the air generator is delivered upwardly through the toothed openings.
