Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a soap bubble toy, which is mainly used for children to play by blowing a soap bubble, and a soap bubble mouth used for this.

[0002]

[Prior Art] As a toy to make and play soap bubbles,
There are many simple things, such as trumpet-shaped items that children directly blow into their mouths and plastic-shaped hollow containers that imitate animals.

[0003]

By the way, each of the above-mentioned conventional soap bubble toys has a simple structure and is uninteresting, and children soon become tired of them. Moreover, it is necessary to immerse the soap bubble in the soap liquid each time it is blown out, and the soap bubble cannot be repeatedly blown out many times in succession. Further, the conventional mouthpiece of a soap bubble toy has a simple shape, and it is impossible to generate and blow out a large number of soap bubbles at a time.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to form a gun (pistol) entirely imitating an animal or the like, and by operating a trigger, the animal opens its mouth and blows out a soap bubble. This is to provide a soap bubble toy that makes the appearance very interesting, and that the soap bubble can be blown out many times in succession by repeating the trigger operation, attracting children's interest greatly and having fun playing without getting tired for a long time. Another object of the present invention is to provide a soap bubble outlet capable of stably generating and blowing out a large number of soap bubbles at once.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a soap bubble toy according to the present invention is provided with a mouth of a gun head having a shape imitating an animal or the like and having a trigger. It has a structure that opens and closes in conjunction with the operation, and a liquid reservoir for storing soap bubble liquid is provided in the lower jaw of the mouth of this head, and it projects downward from the upper jaw and emerges from the liquid reservoir according to the opening and closing of the mouth. A soap bubble blower is provided, and an air blowing mechanism for blowing air from the rear into the blower is provided at the same time when the mouth of the head opens in conjunction with the operation of the trigger.

[0006] Such a soap bubble toy is entirely in the form of a gun (pistol) imitating an animal or the like and is interesting in shape. Also, inject soap bubble liquid into the lower jaw of the mouth of the tip of the gun body, hold the gun body in this state and operate the trigger, and in conjunction with this, the tip of the gun body As the head opens the mouth wide, the blow-out port protruding downward from the upper jaw of the mouth is pulled up from the liquid reservoir with a soap bubble liquid film. At the same time, the air blowing mechanism operates in conjunction with the trigger to blow air from the rear of the air outlet. As a result, the liquid film attached to the air outlet becomes soap bubbles and is blown forward. This gives you the funny appearance of an animal opening its mouth and blowing bubbles. Moreover, by repeating the operation of the trigger, the retracting operation and the air blowing operation of the air blowing mechanism are repeated with respect to the liquid reservoir at the outlet, and the soap bubbles can be blown out many times in succession, which makes children interested. You will be able to play for a long time without getting tired.

Further, the soap bubble outlet of the present invention has a structure in which a plurality of thin protrusions are arranged at a small interval so as to project from the inside toward the front at the opening of the tubular outlet mainly. By sufficiently adhering a soap bubble liquid film and blowing air, it is possible to stably generate and blow out many soap bubbles at once.

Now, the operation of the soap bubble toy having such a configuration will be described. First of all, the whole is a gun (pistol) form that imitates animals, and it is also interesting in shape. Further, the gun body 1 is held by hand, and the trigger 36 is once pulled with a finger. With this, the interlocking lever 39 is rotated by the push-up lever 38 to pull down the tip pin 29 of the hinge lever 26, and the upper jaw portion 23 of the tip head portion 20. Is rotated upward to open the mouth 21 largely as shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 2 (a). In this state, the soap bubble liquid S is added to the liquid reservoir 24 of the lower jaw 22 to open the opening 25a of the inner lid 25.
Inject an appropriate amount from.

When the finger of the trigger 36 is released, the trigger 36 is returned to the front by the return spring 37, and at the same time,
The interlocking lever 39 is also rotated and returned by the return spring 40, whereby the upper jaw 23 is rotated downward to close the mouth 21 and the blower opening 31 is lowered as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 2 (b). Through the opening 25a of the inner lid 25 to enter the soap bubble liquid S in the liquid reservoir 24 of the lower jaw 22.

Soap bubble play is performed after preparation is made in this way. That is, similarly to the above, hold the gun body 1 by hand and hold it in a desired direction, and pull the trigger 36 with a finger. As described above, as shown in FIGS. 1B and 2A, the upper jaw portion 23 of the head 20 is rotated upward through the push-up lever 38, the interlocking lever 39, and the hinge lever 26, as shown in FIGS.
Opens. As a result, the air outlet 31 is pulled up from the liquid reservoir 24 with a soap bubble liquid film. At the same time, the fan 42 of the air blowing mechanism 41 rotates at high speed in conjunction with the drive gear 45 of the trigger 36 through a series of reduction gears 46 to 52, and the outside air is taken into the fan casing 43 from the air intake 14. The air is blown into the air outlet 31 from the rear via the air duct 44. As a result, the liquid film attached to the outlet 31 becomes a soap bubble P and is blown out forward. This gives an interesting appearance as if the animal opened its mouth and blows out the soap bubble P. Moreover, by repeating the operation of the trigger 36, the retracting operation of the air outlet 31 with respect to the liquid reservoir 24 and the air blowing operation of the air blowing mechanism 41 are repeated, so that the soap bubble P can be continuously blown out many times. You will be able to enjoy them for a long time without getting tired.

Further, the soap bubble blower opening 31 is formed in such a manner that a plurality of thin projections 33 are arranged in the opening of the tubular blower opening main body 32 so as to project from the inside toward the front at small intervals. By doing so, it is possible to stably generate and blow out a large number of soap bubbles P at one time by sufficiently adhering the soap bubble liquid film and blowing air, and thus exhibit high performance as a soap bubble toy.
