US 4,790,787 A · Bubble making system having rigid bow members

Abstract

A preferred embodiment of a bubble making system for making large bubbles comprises a pallet for holding bubble-making fluid and a bubble maker with a plurality of user controlled bow members. The bow members are pivotally attached to each other at upper ends and lower ends and having protruding hand grips at the lower ends on their concave sides. Each bow member may include a supply system to wick and hold a supply of bubble-making fluid. In operation, a user draws the bow members through bubble-making fluid held by the pallet to fill the supply system. Then, while waving the bows through the air or projecting the bows into the wind, the user pivots the bow members with the hand grips to produce a variable sized opening between the bows to form a bubble between the bows. The bubble can then be set free by twisting the hand grips in the opposite direction, causing the bows to close and contact each other.

Dependent claims

A bubble maker comprising:

a plurality of elongate, arcuate bow members, each having an upper end, a middle section, and a lower end, each of said members rigid over its length from its upper end to its lower end, the upper end of each of said members pivotally connected to the upper end of each of the other members and the lower end of each of said members pivotally connected to the lower end of each of the other members;
hand grips, each grip connected to a bow member near said member's lower end, whereby the bow members can be pivoted from a closed position generally parallel and in contact with one another over their length to an open position in which said members middle sections are apart from one another and said members enclose an opening of generally lenticular shape for making bubbles.
