  • Publication number: 20090017713
    Abstract: A smoke-filling-bubble generator has a smoke generator, at least one blower and a nozzle assembly. The smoke generator may contain nebulizaing liquid and is able to generate smoke. The blower generates airflow to blow the smoke generated by the smoke generator. The nozzle assembly includes a swaying arm and a nozzle mounted on the swaying arm. The swaying arm controllably dips the nozzle into suds contained in a cup and inserts the nozzle into an outlet from which the smoke is blown. With the smoke gradually blown out of the outlet, bubbles containing smoke are individually formed in the nozzle and fly into the air. In such a manner, when the bubbles burst in the air, the smoke may emerge out and mix up the bubbles to present a novel effect that is dazzling and magical. Therefore, the smoke-filling-bubble generator provides a unique entertaining effect.
