WHISTLING BUBBLE BLOWER.

Application filed May 30, 1923. Serial No. 642,373.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, CLEVE E. Evans and IONA H. ANGELSBERG, citizens of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Whistling Bubble Blowers; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such 111 as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to toys adapted for the blowing of bubbles, andthe object of the invention is to roduce a device adapted to serve as a bubblia producer; to hold the soap-suds for the bubbles, and act as a whistle at the same time the bubble is lown.

Theinvention is fully disclosed in the description and claims following, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the device as in use. Fig. 2 is a central, vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 isa plan View of the mounth-piece, showing the whistle and airdeflector.

As a toy for children, the device is preferably in the form of some live thing, and is herein shown as a conventional bird, with suitable modification to adapt it to its various purposes. Instead of legs and feet, a cup-like enlargement 5 of the birds body water, and

as a base on which the article may stand. In place of a birds pointed beak, a flaring outlet 7 serves as a suitable holder for the bubble film, and for the bubble as blown. The tubular tail 8 forms a stem or mouthpiece for' the breath ofthe bubble-blower. This stem is notched at 9, and in the act of blowing the bubble, the air is divided and a whistling sound is produced by that passing out of the whistle notch. This an, if

allowed to go straightforward, would crush the blowing bubble, so an upstanding deflector 10 is attached ward of the whistle, and prevents the blown air from reaching the bubble.

The device is best made of sheet tin, or the like, stamped out as hollow halv'es, and united at the mid-seam 11 in some suitable manner, as by soldering. It is easily supplied with sufficient soap-suds by laying it on its side ina panof the liquid. In case a film fails to form at the bubble outlet, as when the suds may be too low, a little shake is all that is needed to produce the film at the proper place.

' Having thus described our invention, we claim:

1. A device adapted for the blowing of bubbles, comprising a hollow vessel with a flaring, film-and-bubble-holding outlet, :1 lower receptacle for suds, and an upwardly inclined tubular mouth-piece through which air is blown through the vessel, the mouthpiece being notched to form a whistle, and provided with an air deflector to revent air from the whistle from reaching tiie blowing bubble. A

2. As anew article of manufacture, a whistling bubble-blower, formed as a conventional bird, with a bell-mouthed beak, a

base formed as a suds receptacle, and an upwardly inclined, tubular tail, with a whistle formed therein, and an alr-deflector to the mouth-piece forinterposed between it and the said beak, to

protect the bubble as blown.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
