  • Patent number: 4229902
    Abstract: An augmented bubble blower device in which a mouthpiece tube is mounted for axial movement relative to a venturi tube. The discharge end of the tube is surrounded by an open chamber so that a jet of breath which is discharged from the mouthpiece tube along the longitudinal axis of the venturi tube draws air from the surrounding environment and carries that air with it into the venturi chamber. The remote end of the venturi chamber provides a support for the formation of a bubble from film-forming material stretched across the remote end of the venturi tube.
