Abstract
An apparatus and method of delivering bubble solution to a bubble solution dipping container includes a bubble solution dipping container having a wall that defines a chamber. The apparatus also has a bottle having a wall that defines an interior that contains bubble solution. The bottle is releasably connected to the container, and a supply tube is provided to establish a fluid connection between the interior of the bottle and the chamber of the dipping container. The user can then apply pressure to the wall of the bottle to deliver the bubble solution from the interior of the bottle to the chamber of the container.
Claims16
A bubble containing apparatus, comprising:
- a container having a bottom and a wall that define a chamber;
- a bottle having an interior that contains bubble solution;
- means for coupling the bottle to the container;
- means for delivering the bubble solution from the interior of the bottle to the chamber of the container;
- a feedback channel that fluidly couples the chamber and the interior of the bottl;e and
- means for releasably blocking the feedback channel.

A bubble containing apparatus, comprising:
- a container having a bottom and a wall that define a chamber;
- a bottle having an interior that contains bubble solution;
- means for coupling the bottle to the container;
- and
- a supply tube having a first end that is positioned in the interior of the bottle and an opposing second end that is positioned inside the chamber for delivering the bubble solution from the interior of the bottle to the chamber of the container;
