BUBBLE PIPE.

Application filed April 23, 1925.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IRWIN E. CoHN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Bubble Pipe, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a bubble pipe. An object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient pipe whereby a plurality of bubbles may be blown at one time and a fair supply of soapsuds can be retained within the pipe so that the pipe need not so frequently be dipped into the liquid in order to blow successive bubbles.

Another object concerns the provision of a pipe which can be manufactured at an extremely low cost, is attractive in appearance and light in weight.

The invention is illustrated in the drawings, of which- Figure 1 is an inverted plan view of the pipe; and I Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical section showing the pipe in the usual position for blowing bubbles, that is, with the bowl pointing downward.

The form of the invention shown in the drawings is a preferred form, although it is understood that modifications in the construction and arrangement of the parts and in the character of the materials used may be adopted without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

In the preferred form of the invention, 1 provide a pipe having a stem 10 and a bowl 11. The end of the bowl which is usually open in this case is covered by a plate 12 which has downwardly curved walls Serial No. 25,331.

and a bottom 13 spaced a suitable distance below the end of the bowl 11. The curved' tion of the plate below the holes and be tween them and the bottom portion 13 acts as a sort of reservoir to hold the soapbubble mixture, so that when the pipe is dipped into the mixture a quantity of the soap liquid is retained in this reservoir and enables a considerable number of bubbles to be blown without redipping the pipe. Preferably this pipe is made of celluloid, which can be cast or molded into shape, and is attractive, and light in weight.

A child in using this pipe can, by reason of the plurality of holes 14, blow several bubbles at one time. Furthermore, by reason of the reservoir, he can blow a succession of bubbles without having to redip the pipe.

What I claim is 1. A bubble pipe, which comprises a bowl portion having a cover plate with curved walls having a plurality of apertures therein, said curved plate having a reservoir therein between the bottom of the plate and said apertures, said reservoir adapted to hold a supply of soapy liquid.

2. A bubble pipe, which comprises a bowl having a cover plate formed integrally therewith, said cover plate having downwardly curved walls and a bottom plate, the curved walls being provided with apertures, the portion of the plate between'the apertures and the bottom plate acting as a reservoir for soapy liquid whereby a plurality of bubbles can be blown in succession without redipping the pipe.
