Abstract: A bubble generating device that includes a housing having an outer surface and a motor and fan device positioned in the housing. The fan device may be operably coupled to the motor so that the motor, when activated, causes the fan device to rotate to generate an upward air stream within the housing. The bubble generating device may also include a trough for containing bubble solution and a spout protruding beyond the outer surface of the housing and configured such that bubble solution fed into the spout flows into the trough. A bubble generating assembly may be operably coupled to the motor, so that when the motor is activated the motor causes bubble generating members of the bubble generating assembly to move into contact with the bubble solution in the trough and then into alignment with the upward air stream to generate bubbles from the bubble solution.

Abstract: A bubble generating device and a method for producing bubbles. The bubble generating apparatus may include a housing, a motor, an air flow generator operably coupled to the motor, a trough containing a bubble solution, a cam, and a follower member having a bubble generating device. The follower member may be in operable cooperation with the cam, and the motor may be operably coupled to the follower member to drive the follower member along the cam. The follower member may be altered between a lowered position whereby the bubble generating device becomes loaded with bubble solution and a raised position wherein the bubble generating devices becomes aligned with an air stream generated by the air flow generator. The follower member may be altered from the raised position to the lowered position solely by gravity.

Abstract: A bubble generating device and a method for producing bubbles. In one aspect, the invention can be an apparatus for generating bubbles comprising: a housing; a motor; an air flow generator operably coupled to the motor; a trough containing a bubble solution; a cam; a follower member comprising a bubble generating device, the follower member in operable cooperation with the cam surface; and the motor operably coupled to the follower member to drive the follower member along the cam.

Abstract: A bubble generating device. The apparatus may include a housing, a fan device, and a motor operably coupled to the fan device. The motor may rotate the fan device about a rotational axis. The apparatus may further include one, or a plurality, of bubble generating devices that are coupled to the housing. Each of the bubble generating devices may comprise a bubble producing member that converges towards the rotational axis with increasing distance from the fan device. Stated another way, each of the bubble producing members may define an opening that lies on a plane that intersects the rotational axis of the fan device at an oblique angle.
