Apparatus and method for forming bubbles for amusement

A method of forming bubbles for amusement, comprising the steps of:

• placing a refillable reservoir of liquid soap concentrate in fluid communication with a bubble forming member;
• delivering the liquid soap concentrate to the bubble forming member;
• wetting the bubble forming member by dipping the bubble forming member into an external water-based liquid to create a bubble film over the bubble forming member;
• and
• introducing an airstream across the bubble film by either waving the apparatus or blowing across the bubble forming member to produce bubbles.

An apparatus for forming bubbles, comprising:

• a bubble forming member which defines a bubble forming aperture;
• a handle attached to the bubble forming member;
• a refillable reservoir of liquid soap concentrate in fluid communication with the bubble forming member;
• at least one outlet disposed adjacent to the bubble forming aperture;
• and
• a duct extending from the reservoir to the at least one outlet such that the liquid soap concentrate can flow from the reservoir to the bubble forming member;
• wherein bubbles are created by inserting the bubble forming member into a water-based liquid to create a bubble film over the aperture, and introducing an air stream across the bubble film.

An apparatus for forming bubbles, comprising:

• a bubble forming member which defines a bubble forming aperture, the bubble forming aperture having an outlet channel formed therein adjacent to the bubble forming aperture;
• a handle attached to the bubble forming member and defining a refillable reservoir of liquid soap concentrate in fluid communication with the bubble forming member, the reservoir including a fill port;
• and
• a duct extending from the reservoir to the outlet channel such that the liquid soap concentrate can flow from the reservoir to the bubble forming aperture;
• wherein bubbles are created by inserting the bubble forming member into a water-based liquid to create a bubble film over the aperture, and introducing an air stream across the bubble film.

An apparatus for forming bubbles, comprising:

• a bubble forming member which defines a bubble forming aperture;
• a telescopically collapsible and expandable handle attached to the bubble forming member;
• a refillable reservoir of liquid soap concentrate in fluid communication with the bubble forming member, the reservoir including a fill port;
• at least one outlet disposed adjacent to the bubble forming aperture;
• and
• at least one duct extending from the reservoir to the at least one outlet such that the liquid soap concentrate can flow from the reservoir to the bubble forming member;
• wherein bubbles are created by inserting the bubble forming member into a water-based liquid to create a bubble film over the aperture, and introducing an air stream across the bubble film.
