Abstract:
A bubble generating apparatus includes an air flow generator, a liquid tray defined by a floor and sidewalls and having one or more bubble forming ports therein, and a pivot arm coupled to a motor for pivoting the pivot arm about an axis so that during pivoting a bubble generating member of the pivot arm passes over one of the bubble forming ports, the air flow generator positioned to direct an air stream through the one or more bubble forming ports, and a gravity feed liquid reservoir, wherein the liquid tray is configured to generate bubbles from the liquid when the air flow generator directs the air stream through the one or more bubble forming ports while the pivot arm pivots about the axis.

Claim (Index 18):
A bubble generating apparatus comprising:\n a motor; an air flow generator operably coupled to the motor to generate an air stream; a liquid tray defined by a floor and a sidewall, a volume of a bubble solution at least partially filling the liquid tray; one or more bubble forming ports and one or more air ports located within the liquid tray, each of the bubble forming ports and each of the air ports defined by an inner surface of an upstanding wall that extends upwardly from the floor of the liquid tray, an exposed portion of the upstanding wall protruding from a surface level of the bubble solution in the liquid tray; the air flow generator positioned to direct the air stream through the one or more bubble forming ports and through the one or more air ports; and a first pivot arm comprising one or more bubble generating members, the first pivot arm operably coupled to the motor to pivot the first pivot arm back and forth repetitively along an approximately 180\u00b0 arc about a first axis so that each bubble generating member of the first pivot arm pivots over one of the bubble forming ports; and wherein during each 180\u00b0 pivoting sequence of the first pivot arm, each of the one or more bubble generating members contacts the bubble solution in the liquid tray and carries the bubble solution over the one of the bubble forming ports to form a dome-shaped film of the bubble solution that surrounds and encloses the exposed portion of the upstanding wall while the air stream is directed through the bubble forming ports to form bubbles from the bubble solution.
