Abstract
A doll is provided capable of blowing bubbles. The doll has a receptacle for holding bubble making liquid attached to the doll's trunk. A bubble making tool having a ring-shaped end is attached to a moveable arm of the doll. The arm is able to pivot about the trunk so that the tool may be dipped in the liquid and raised up to a mouth opening formed in the doll. An air impeller is located in the doll's head and forces air out of the doll's mouth when a circuit is closed by the motion of the arm in bringing the tool close to the mouth opening. Bubbles are produced when the air flows through the ring-shaped end of the tool coated with a liquid film.
Claims16
A bubble producing doll, comprising:
- (a) a doll body simulating a human figure with a trunk portion, a head connected to the trunk portion and having a mouth opening, a pair of arms having hand extremities with one arm pivotally mounted to the upper end of the trunk portion for up and down movement in relationship to the upper end of the trunk portion and a pair of legs connected to the lower end to the trunk portion;
- (b) a receptacle connected to the front section of the trunk portion for storing bubble making liquid;
- (c) air producing means connected to the mouth opening formed in said head through which air is impelled;
- (d) a battery-operated electrical circuit located inside the trunk portion for activating the air producing means;
- (e) switching means connected to the electrical circuit for closing and opening the circuit and having a switching element located on the pivotally mounted arm;
- and
- (f) a bubble-making liquid, pick-up took, separate from the hand extremities of the arms, and having a first handle portion connected at one end to the hand extremity of the pivotally mounted arm and a second ring-like portion extending from the other end of the tool handle portion for holding a film of the bubble making liquid;
- wherein the mouth opening in said head and the receptacle on the front section of the trunk portion are arranged along a circumferential arc centered at a point where said arm is pivotally mounted on the trunk, the arc having a radius equal to the distance between said point and the second portion of said tool, and
- wherein after the tool is placed in the receptacle and a film of liquid is formed thereon and when the pivotally mounted arm having the tool is raised to a position near the mouth opening of the doll head through the arc, the switching element on the arm closes the electrical circuit activating the air producing means to produce and simulate a human figure blowing bubbles produced from the film on the tool.

- (e) switching means connected to the electrical circuit for closing and opening the circuit and having a switching element located on the pivotally mounted arm;
- and
- (f) a bubble-making liquid, pick-up tool, separate from the hand extremities of the arms, and having a first handle portion detachably connected at one end to the hand extremity of the pivotally mounted arm and a second ring-like portion extending from the other end of the tool handle portion for holding a film of the bubble making handle,
- wherein the tool extends transverse from the hand extremity of the pivotally mounted arm toward the receptacle located in the center of the front section of the trunk portion,
- wherein the mouth opening in said head and the receptacle on the front section of the trunk portion are arranged along a circumferential arc centered at a point where said arm is pivotally mounted on the trunk, the arc having a radius equal to the distance between said point and the second portion of said took, and
- wherein after the tool is placed in the receptacle and a film of liquid is formed thereon and when the pivotally mounted arm having the tool is raised to a position near the mouth opening of the doll head through the arc, the switching element on the arm closes the electrical circuit activating the air producing means to produce and simulate a human figure blowing bubbles produced from the film on the tool.
