Abstract
Apparatus for generating a stream or burst of air through a vehicle mounted bubble dispensing nozzle and controlled by a remote transmitter which generates signals for receipt by a receiver mounted on the vehicle for controlling the generation of the bubbles and movement of the vehicle is disclosed.
Claims10
A model vehicle for generating a stream or burst of bubbles under control of a remote transmitter transmitting radio signals to a receiver on board the vehicle comprising:
- vehicle movement means;
- a reservoir in said vehicle comprising a source of liquid;
- a bubble dispensing nozzle mounted on said vehicle;
- channel means extending longitudinally of said vehicle for directing upon movement of the vehicle a stream of air through said nozzle;
- an air scoop facing the front of the vehicle and in communication with the channel means and the nozzle;
- an apertured disk journalled for rotation on the vehicle and positioned to extend at least partially into said source of liquid and upstream of said nozzle;
- a transmitter for transmitting radio signals to said vehicle;
- a receiver mounted on board said vehicle for receiving a signal from said transmitter;
- and
- means mounted on said vehicle and actuated by said signal for rotating said disk and actuating said vehicle movement means to move said vehicle;
- whereby movement of said vehicle forces air into the air scoop creating a stream or burst of air which is transmitted through said channel, at least some of the apertures in said disk and said nozzle for generating and discharging a stream of bubbles from said vehicle.
