Patent number: 8123584Abstract: A bubble generating assembly has a housing shaped as an animal and defining a mouth, with a stationary member secured to a permanent location extending across a portion of the mouth. The assembly includes a reservoir provided inside the housing and retaining bubble solution, a trigger mechanism, a plurality of bubble generating rings positioned adjacent the mouth, a tubing that couples the interior of the reservoir with the ring, and a link assembly that couples the trigger mechanism and the rings in a manner in which actuation of the trigger mechanism causes the rings to be moved from a first position to a second position across the stationary member.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2007Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Arko Development LimitedInventor: Douglas Thai

Patent number: 7086612Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly, sock, and method for generating foam. The assembly includes a housing having a chamber, and a first and second orifice. A fan arranged within the housing draws a flow of air into the chamber through the first orifice and exhausts the flow of air through the second orifice to form an exhausted flow of air. A nozzle is arranged within the chamber and is situated in proximity to the second orifice to allow introduction of a fluid into the exhausted flow of air through the second orifice. A permeable sock includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The sock is arranged to occlude the second orifice in a manner to receive the exhausted flow of air with the fluid at the inner surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2003Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Inventor: Gary Crawford

Patent number: 4955840Abstract: A toy saxophone is disclosed having a mouthpiece, a sound-emitting mechanism, a bubble-blowing mechanism, and air tubes connecting the mouthpiece to the sound-emitting and bubble-blowing mechanisms. The toy saxophone further has an actuating mechanism comprising a manually depressible button coupled to the sound-emitting and bubble-blowing mechanisms whereby simultaneously blowing into the mouthpiece and depressing the button causes sound to be emitted from the sound-emitting mechanism and bubbles to be blown from the bubble-blowing mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1989Date of Patent: September 11, 1990Assignee: The Quaker Oats CompanyInventor: David E.

Patent number: 4867724Abstract: A rise and fall type bubble blower toy is described. The device consists of a cylinder having a diaphragm across the central portion thereof with an axial port and having a nozzle mounted on the upper surface of the diaphragm. A piston is disposed below the diaphragm and mounts upstanding rods which support a ring which rests on the upper surface of the cylinder and which in turn supports an inner ring which is normally disposed within the cylinder above the nozzle. An air inlet to the cylinder is provided below the piston. The cylinder is mounted within a housing which may have any desired configuration disposed below the diaphragm and mounts upstanding rods which support a ring which rests on the upper surface of the cylinder and which in turn supports an inner ring which is normally disposed within the cylinder above the nozzle. An air inlet to the cylinder is provided below the piston.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1987Date of Patent: September 19, 1989Inventor: Lin Mong Sheng

Patent number: 4861303Abstract: A kind of toy for blowing bubbles has its head portion made into being able to sway in the shape of an animal. The main body and air blowing structure are connected. The air blowing structure is provided with a piston and piston shaft to the swaying portion to takeup the bubble liquid when it hangs down. The swaying portion is driven by the piston and piston shaft to turn upward and to produce large quantity of bubbles swiveling in air to amuse the player and spectators.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1987Date of Patent: August 29, 1989Inventor: Lin Mong-Sheng

Patent number: 4804346Abstract: A bubble blowing toy is described. The toy consists of a figure with a mouth which opens. The bubble blowing liquid is contained in a reservoir in the lower jaw. The upper jaw has a depending flange which rests in the liquid when the mouth is closed. There is a cylinder disposed within the body. Air admitted to the cylinder drives a piston to the rear of the cylinder. A rod carried by the piston encounters a depending flange from the head member which causes the head member to pivot and open the mouth. The air also rushes through an opening in the cylinder, through an air channel and through a nozzle disposed within the mouth which blows bubbles from the film of bubble blowing liquid extending from the upper jaw to the lower jaw.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1987Date of Patent: February 14, 1989Inventor: Lin M.
