  • Patent number: 5393256
    Abstract: A rotational glider toy configured for producing bubbles during free flight. The toy includes a circular disc body having a plurality of bubble-forming apertures formed therein. A reservoir structure is coupled to a lower surface of the body and encloses a storage area. The reservoir structure includes a plurality of solution feed holes formed in a junction between the reservoir structure and the lower surface, said solution feed holes being in communication with the storage area. Bubble solution is inserted into the storage area through a capped filling hole therein. Centrifugal force during rotational movement of the toy operates to urge the bubble solution out of the feed holes such that it spreads onto the lower surface of the body and into the bubble-forming apertures. Air currents passing through the bubble-forming apertures cause the bubble solution to be released from the toy in a stream of bubbles.
