Description

The present invention relates to a toy for blowing bubbles and more particularly to a toy for blowing giant bubbles, which uses a device for blowing bubbles. folding, fitting with a narrow solution container, to produce giant bubbles.

There is known a toy for blowing normal bubbles, to produce bubbles, consisting of a solution container and a bubble blowing device having a coil or loop to form bubbles. To produce giant bubbles, the bubble forming spool has a certain diameter and the container has a small opening that is sufficient to pass the bubble spool of the bubble blower. Because the solution container has a large opening, the contained solution tends to be expelled from the solution container when shaken. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a toy for blowing giant bubbles, which eliminates the problem mentioned above. According to the present invention, the toy for blowing giant bubbles comprises an elongate solution container, having a narrow opening, and a bubble blowing device to be inserted into the solution container for taking a solution, from the solution container, to blow giant bubbles. The bubble blowing device comprises a functional unit, and folding bubble blowing unit, collapsible. The functional unit drives the collapsible collapsible bubble-blowing unit between an open position at which the functional unit forms a triangular (diamond) open frame to blow giant bubbles, and a closed position in which the functional unit is folded. , in order to be inserted into the solution container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With reference to FIGS. 1 to 22, a toy for blowing giant bubbles, according to the present invention, consists generally of a device bubble blowing device 1 and a solution container 2. The bubble blowing device 1 consists of a functional unit 11, 13 14 or 15, and a bubble blowing unit 12. solution container 3 is narrow, it is an elongated container containing a solution for producing bubbles, having at one end an opening 21, through which the bubble blowing unit 12 inserted inside the solution container 2 and is immersed in the solution in the solution container 2.

The bubble blowing unit 12 comprises two long arms 121, and a folding arm 122 which is pivotally connected between the long arms 121 at one end. The arms 121 and 122 each have a toothed portion 11 or 1221 which is disposed longitudinally on an inner side. In Figures 1 to 9 and Figures 22, the long arms 121 are pivotally connected together by a pivot 123. In Figures 11 and 11, the long arms 121 are respectively rotated about a pivot 124 on the unit. In Figures 12 and 13, a long arm is formed integrally with one end of the functional unit 14, and the other long arm rotates about a pivot 125 on the functional unit 14.

Figures 1 to 12, the two long arms 121 may be intimately attached to one another. In Fig. 19, the two long arms 121 can be moved toward each other, defining a small included angle.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, the folding arm 122 of the bubble blowing unit 12 consists of two separate halves, each having one end pivotally mounted on the other by a pivot 1223 and an opposite end respectively pivotally mounted. on the long arms by a respective pivot 1222. When the two separate halves of the folding arm 122 are open folded, the two long arms 121 are intimately attached to each other (see Figure 1) or placed close to one another (see Figure 19). At this time, the bubble blowing unit 12 may be suitably inserted into the solution container 2 and immersed in the solution. The folding arm 122 may be designed to be folded internally (see the accompanying drawings, except Fig. 9), or externally (see Fig. 9).

Referring to FIGS. 1a, the functional unit 11 comprises two handles 111 extending respectively from the long arms 121. torsion spring 112 is mounted on the pivot and connected between the handles 111 of the functional unit 11 to open the handles 111, now bubble blowing unit 12 in the folded state. When the user holds the handgrips 11 by hand, to force the handgrips 111 toward each other, the long arms 121 rotate outwardly to extend out of the folding arm 122, and therefore the long arms 121 form with the arm folding a triangular open frame to blow giant bubbles.

Referring to FIG. 10, the long arms 121 are driven by a push rod 131 or 141 belonging to the functional unit 13 or 14, to rotate about the respective pivots 124 or the common pivot 125, between the open and the open functional position. closed non-functional position.

Referring to Figures 1 to 13, the functional unit 11, 13 or 14 is connected to the long arms 121 at one end. In FIGS. 14 to 22, the functional unit 15 is constituted by a rod 1511 pivotally mounted on a pivot point provided between the two separate halves of the folding arm 122 'and a handle placed at one end of the rod 1511. away from the folding arm 122. This design is suitable for use, however it requires a relatively larger aperture 21 at the solution container 2.

In FIGS. 14 to 17, the rod 1511 of the functional unit 15 is pivoted on a pivot 123 provided on the folding arm 122, and the two halves of the folding arm 122 each have an abutment rod 131 disposed at one end adjacent to the pivot 123 to stop the oscillation of the functional unit 15. In addition, a torsion spring 152 is mounted on the pivot 123, between the long arms 121, to open these long arms 121.

Figures 14, 16 and long arms 121 each have an abutment flange 12 for limiting the angle of rotation of the folding arm 122. In Figure 14, the bubble blowing unit 12 forms a triangular open frame, a once open. In Figure 20, the blowing unit of the 12 forms a diamond frame, when open.

Referring to FIGS. 18-19, when inserting the bubble blowing unit 12 into the solution container 2, the folding arm 122 is forced by the handle 151 and inwardly folds, allowing the long arms 121 to move. be closed and forced into the solution container 2.

Referring to Figs. 14 and 15, when the bubble blowing unit 12 is removed from the solution container 2, the long arms 121 are immediately opened by stretching with the elastic force exerted by the torsion spring 152 .

Referring to Figs. 20-22, a flexible spool or loop 153 is attached to the pivot 123 between the long arms 121 spaced apart from the folding arm. The flexible spool 153 has a narrow front end suitable for penetrating the solution container. 2 (see Figure 21). The solution container 2 has an inner annular flange 22 around the opening 21. When the bubble blower 1 is pulled out of the solution container 2, the flexible bubble spool 513 is stopped at the inner annular flange 22 this allows the folding arm 122 to be pulled by the functional unit 15 to move to the extended position. The flexible bubble reel 153 is disengaged from the inner annular flange 22 when the handle 151 is pulled continuously outwards, after having extended the folding arm 122.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 22, the bubble blowing unit 12 may be closed and inserted through opening 21 to enter the interior of the solution container 2 to withdraw the solution.

 After being extracted from the solution container 2, the bubble blowing unit 12 is opened, forming an open triangular or diamond shaped frame that defines a large open space for blowing giant bubbles.
