Abstract: A vertical bubble machine, includes a housing, an air blowing component, a film forming component, a film scraping component, a pumping component and a liquid storage container; a mounting cavity is arranged in the housing, the film forming component is fixed in an opening of the mounting cavity, a plurality of bubbling holes are arranged on the film forming component, a liquid outlet is arranged on the film forming component, the film scraping component is rotatably assembled above the film forming component, the film scraping component is used for picking up bubble water from the liquid outlet and then sweeping past the plurality of the bubbling holes to form bubble films; the air blowing component is arranged in the mounting cavity and is located below the film forming component, an air outlet of the air blowing component faces to the film forming component.
Abstract: The present specification discloses an entertainment/educational system having one or more interactive stations having associated systems comprising apparatus and activities that demonstrate various physical phenomenon. Each interactive station comprises a different system featuring differing apparatus that provides users the ability to form various types and numbers of bubbles that the users can experience and interact with. User progression and interaction with a particular set of/order of interactive stations is correlated with lessons about physical phenomena exemplified by the bubbles made at a particular station of the total stations visited. The lessons may be further enhanced by information provided to users via a poster, handout, booklet or other informative media or information provided by a guide/attendant escorting user(s) through the set of stations.

Abstract: A bubble machine has a fan housing that is positioned inside a machine housing, and a fan coupled to the fan housing. A bubble dispenser is disposed over the machine housing and has an outer wall that defines a trough along a portion of its circumferential edge. The bubble dispenser includes an inner hub having a raised platform, and a bubble wand guiding mechanism on the platform. The outer wall and the inner hub define at least one space through which air generated by the fan can flow upwardly. A bubble wand assembly has a base, and a plurality of bubble wands that are disposed above the bubble dispenser in a manner such that each of the plurality of bubble wands is rotated past the trough to be coated with bubble solution, and then rotated over the at least one space so that air from below can be blown through the bubble wand to generate bubbles.
Abstract: A vial and cap holder includes a vial frame having a plurality of vial apertures formed therein, wherein each vial aperture is configured to receive a vial, and a handle connected to the vial frame. The vial and cap holder further includes a plurality of cap holders connected to the vial frame. Each of the cap holders is positioned adjacent to one of the apertures on the vial frame, and each cap holder is configured to hold a cap for capping a vial. Each of the cap holders is configured to hold a cap above a top of vials configured to be held by the vial apertures. Corresponding ones of the vial holders and the cap holders are positioned along common radiuses of the vial frame.
