Description

BUBBLE FORMING CAP

BACKGROUND

[0001] This disclosure is directed to a bubble-forming cap, specifically, to a swiveling bubble-forming cap.

[0002] Toys have become inseparable from the healthy growth of children and most children are attracted by toys that can produce bubbles, which can travel for some distance before vanishing.

[0003] Many people are familiar with the standard child's toy of a bottle of bubble solution having a bubble wand inside. A screw top lid generally keeps the wand and solution closed in the bottle, and when the child or the person wants to blow bubbles, the lid is unscrewed, the wand is removed, and the person's breath is blown through the ring, or loop, formed by the bubble wand. The bubble solution membrane adhering to the teeth of the toothed ring circumscribing the bubble wand is then stretched with the blowing breath and forms bubbles that fly away from the bubble wand. Generally, a membrane is formed across the bubble ring of the bubble wand when it is extracted from the bubble solution. If this is not so, bubbles do not form and the wand must be dipped again into the bubble solution. With practice, bubbles of several sizes may be blown from the bubble wand. The wand itself generally has a handle so that the ring may be dipped in the bubble solution without getting additional soap on the child's fingers.

[0004] Other bubble making devices are generally variations on this theme where a vertically-disposed bubble ring is supplied with bubble solution, a serrated or toothed extension extends from the bubble ring to provide additional surface area, and the initial membrane formed across the bubble ring serves as the source for bubbles when air is blown through the ring. The bubbles are generally blown horizontally from a vertically-disposed bubble ring.

[0005] Bath time represents a natural place for playing with and forming bubbles. It would be an advancement to the art to enable children to blow bubble while in a bath using the natural reservoir available in shampoo bottles for example.

DEATILED DESCRIPTION

[00020] In several embodiments, provided herein are bubble-forming caps, having swiveling member configured to expose a plurality of grouped apertures in an opening defined in a housing coupled to a liquid reservoir, such as a shampoo bottle. The term "mushroom- shaped" refers to a housing having a larger diameter head portion that is supported by a shaft portion of a smaller diameter. The head portion can be substantially spherical and be comprised of two separate parts; a concave floor portion and a convex roof portion. Having the roof portion separate can be beneficial in assembling the cap, whereby a swiveling spherical portion is rotatably coupled to the concave floor portion, then covered by the convex roof portion of the mushroom shaped housing.

[00021] A rotating knob can be coupled to the swiveling spherical member at an angle that can be configured to align the grouped apertures with an opening defined in the convex roof of the mushroom shaped housing. The knob can further define depressions or indentations facilitating grip of the rotating knob.

[00022] The grouped apertures in the swiveling member that is the substantially hollow sphere can have various diameters that will affect the size of the bubbles formed. As used herein, the term "grouped" refers to the spatial assembly of the apertures, whereby, within each group, the diameter of the aperture can be the same and the "group" is configured to form an area that can be visible through the circular opening (in other words, a window) defined in the convex roof of the mushroom shaped housing. The number of apertures in the group can be between 1 (in other words, only one aperture can be exposed through the window, to about 10. When only one aperture is exposed to the window, the diameter of the aperture is smaller than the diameter of the window. It is understood, that the cap need not be removed to pour the contents of the liquid reservoir, but that the liquid can be poured from the grouped apertures [00023] The swiveling member, or in other words, the substantially spherical hollow insert can be a spherical dome with an open base that forms a plane and a height that is larger than the sphere's radius. A longitudinal axis is defined to the swiveling member, which is perpendicular to the plane defined by the basal opening in the spherical dome.

[00024] A more complete understanding of the components, processes, assemblies and devices disclosed herein can be obtained by reference to the accompanying drawings. These figures (also referred to herein as "FIG.") are merely schematic representations based on convenience and the ease of demonstrating the present disclosure, and are, therefore, not intended to indicate relative size and dimensions of the devices or components thereof and/or to define or limit the scope of the exemplary embodiments. Although specific terms are used in the following description for the sake of clarity, these terms are intended to refer only to the particular structure of the embodiments selected for illustration in the drawings, and are not intended to define or limit the scope of the disclosure. In the drawings and the following description below, it is to be understood that like numeric designations refer to components of like function.

[00025] Turning now to FIG.s 1-5, illustrating in FIG.s 1A and 2A, an isometric view of the bubble forming cap.

[00026] As illustrated, provided is a bubble forming cap 10 comprising: hollow spherical dome member 200 having plurality of grouped apertures 205z of varying sizes defined on the surface of spherical dome member 200. As shown in FIG.s IB, and 4A, the spherical dome member 200 having an basal opening 201defining a longitudinal axis ¾ (see e.g., FIG. 2B) perpendicular to the plane defined by basal opening 201. Further illustrated, is rotating knob 220 axially coupled to spherical dome member 200. Also illustrated in FIG. 1A, is mushroom- shaped housing 100 having head portion 120 (see e.g., FIG.s 1A, 3A) and stem portion 110. As illustrated e.g., in FIG. 3A, head portion 120 defines apical circular opening (in other words, a window) 140 therein with ledge 141, wherein head portion 120 is configured to rotatably accommodate spherical dome member 200 and wherein stem portion 110 of mushroom shaped housing 100 can be configured to couple to a liquid reservoir (not shown).

[00027] Also shown in FIG. s 1A, IB, and 5, is cover member 300, configured to cover the top hemisphere of head portion 120 of mushroom shape housing 100, as well as rotating knob 200. Cover member can optionally be clear.

[00028] As illustrated in FIG.s 1A - 3B, and 5, head portionl20 of mushroom shape housing 100 can further define an equatorially disposed radial channel 125, configured to receive and engage at least a portion (e.g., lip 325, see e.g., FIG. 5) of cover member 300. As indicated, head portion 120 can be substantially spherical and be comprised of two separate parts (in other words, hemispheres; concave floor portion 150 and convex roof portion 160 (see e.g., FIG. 2B. Having roof portion, or hemisphere 160 separate can be beneficial in assembling the cap, whereby equatorial channel 125 is formed by the seam created by coupling of convex roof portion (or upper hemisphere) 160, to convex floor portion 150 (or lower hemisphere).

[00029] As illustrated in FIG.s 2B, and 3B, mushroom shape housing 100 defines an upper substantially spherical chamber having convex roof 160 and concave floor 150 in

communication with lower cylindrical chamber 115 having an open base rim 112. FIG.s 2B and 3B also illustrate internal wall of stem portion 110 defining threading 116, which can be configured to engage the neck of a liquid reservoir, such as, for example, a shampoo bottle, a detergent bottle, a soapsuds bottle, or a resilient bottle comprising a liquid capable of forming bubbles (not shown). As further illustrated in FIG.s 2B, and 3B, concave floor 150 of the upper substantially spherical chamber further comprises cylindrical conduit 135 (see e.g., FIG. 2B) having longitudinal axis X_c and open upper end 130 and a wall extending apically from concave floor 150. As illustrated in FIG. 2B, cylindrical conduit 135 further comprises cylindrical extension 122 having longitudinal axis extending apically from the wall of cylindrical conduit 135 at an angle a. Cylindrical extension 122 is illustrated as having open end configured to frictionally couple to at least a portion of spherical dome member 200. As illustrated in FIG. 3B, cylindrical conduit 135 creates a passage between lower cylindrical chamber 115, and upper spherical chamber comprised of concave floor portion 150 and convex roof 160, such that lower cylindrical chamber 115, is in communication with the upper spherical chamber, a, the angle defined between the longitudinal axis of cylindrical conduit 135 and the longitudinal axis of extension 122 can be for example, between about 15 ⁰ and about 75°.

[00030] Terms such as "communicate" (and its derivatives e.g., a first component

"communicates with" or "is in communication with" a second component) and grammatical variations thereof are used to indicate a structural, functional, mechanical, electrical, optical, or fluidic relationship, or any combination thereof, between two or more components or elements. As such, the fact that one component is said to communicate with a second component is not intended to exclude the possibility that additional components can be present between, and/or operatively associated or engaged with, the first and second components.

[00031] Turning now to FIG.s 3 A, 3B, convex roof 160 of upper portion 120 of mushroom shaped housing 100 can further define aperture 123 having collar 121 axially aligned with the longitudinal axis of cylindrical extension 122. In other words, collared 121 aperture 123 is coaxial with cylindrical extension 122. As illustrated in FIG.s 2B, and 3B, open upper end 130 of cylindrical conduit 135 is disposed within spherical dome member 200, extending beyond the plane defined by basal opening 201 of spherical dome member 200.

[00032] Turning now to FIG.s 4A, 4B, illustrating that hollow spherical dome member 200 having plurality of grouped apertures 205i of varying sizes defined on the surface of the spherical dome member (the hollow spherical dome's envelope), can further define continuous surface 202 (see e.g., FIG. 1A, 2A), configured to cover apical circular opening 140 (or window) defined by ledge 141 in head portion 120 of mushroom shape housing 100. For example, the number of i apertures grouped 205; is between, for example, 1 and about 10 apertures and wherein the diameter of the 2^th apertures of plurality of grouped apertures 205; is between, for example 2mm and about 10 mm.

[00033] As illustrated in FIG. 4B and 2B, hollow spherical dome member 200 can comprise co-axially (with longitudinal axis) aligned sleeve 221 having an open upper end and closed lower end 227 extending basally from the apogee of hollow spherical dome member 200, closed lower end 227 configured to rotatably couple to cylindrical extension 122 and the open upper end extending through collared 121 aperture 123 defined in convex roof 160 of upper portion 120 of mushroom shaped housing 100. Also shown in FIG.s 4B and 2B, rotating knob 220 can comprise head portion 223 and stem portion 224, stem portion 224 configured to operably couple to spherical dome member 200. Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG.s 4B and 2B, stem 224 can be coupled (e.g., frictionally coupled) to co-axially aligned sleeve 221 extending basally from the apogee of hollow spherical dome member 200. As illustrated in FIG. 4A, head portion 223 of rotating knob 220 can define plurality radial indentations 222, therein, to facilitate rotating of rotating knob 220, engaged by co-axially aligned sleeve 221, rotatbly coupled to cylindrical extension 122, creating a rotating shaft for hollow spherical dome member 200.

[00034] As further illustrated in FIG. 2B, upon flow of liquid from the liquid reservoir (not shown), through lower cylindrical chamber 115, into cylindrical conduit 135 and into upper spherical chamber comprised of concave floor portion 150 and convex roof 160, the liquid will pool in the upper chamber and at least partially within the internal volume of hollow spherical dome member 200, where it is available for forming bubbles thereafter, by, for example forming membrane(s) across plurality of aperture 205;, by swiveling or rotating hollow spherical dome 200 causing the plurality of apertures 205; to dip into the liquid pooled on concave floor portion 150. Continued rotation of rotation knob 220 forms a membrane across the 2^th aperture, and positioning the apertures with the membrane across circular opening 140, such that using the resilient walls of the liquid reservoir (not shown), air present in lower cylindrical chamber 115, and the liquid reservoir's headspace, will flow through cylindrical conduit 135 and form the bubbles. The rotation can then be repeated and the size of the bubbles altered by positioning different aperture(s) with different size(s) across circular opening 140. Plurality of apertures 205; could further be defined on the internal surface of hollow spherical dome 200 with a plurality of annuli 206_p, each p annuli having a plurality of rails 207 ^' _q extending radially from each 2^th aperture, increasing the surface area thus making the formed membranes more stable.

[00035] In an embodiment, the term "engage" and various forms thereof, when used with reference to coupling of various components and engaging elements therein, refer to the application of any forces that tend to hold the engaged components together against inadvertent or undesired separating forces (e.g., such as may be introduced during use of an engaged component). It is to be understood, however, that engagement does not in all cases require an interlocking connection that is maintained against every conceivable type or magnitude of separating force. Moreover, "engaging element" refers to one or a plurality of coupled components, at least one of which is configured for releasably engaging an engaged element, member or portion thereof. Thus, this term encompasses both single part engaging elements and multi-part-assemblies.

[00036] As illustrated in FIG. 2B, rotating knob 220 can be configured to align plurality of grouped apertures 205; of varying sizes, defined on the surface of hollow spherical dome member 200 with apical circular opening 140 defined by ledge 141 on convex roof 160 in upper portion 120 of mushroom shaped housing 100.

[00037] Turning now to FIG. 5, illustrating cover member 300. As illustrated in FIG. 5, cover member 300 can comprise first spherical dome 310 having a height h that is equal to or smaller than the radius of first spherical dome 310 (in other words, spheroid cap), with a second spherical dome 320 budding therefrom at an angle from the apogee of first spherical dome 320. As previously indicated, cover member 300 can further define rim 325 configured to engage radial channel 125 defined in upper portion 120 of mushroom shape housing 100 (formed in an embodiment by the seam created from convex roof 160 (or upper hemisphere of upper portion 120 of mushroom shaped housing 100) coupling to concave floor portion 150 (or lower hemisphere of upper portion 120 of mushroom shaped housing 100)). Also shown in FIG. 5, is tab 315 extending radially from the rim 325 of cover member 300.

[00038] Turning now to FIG.s 6A, and 6B illustrating a somewhat simplified embodiment of bubble forming cap 20. As illustrated in FIG. 6B, bubble forming cap 20 (see e.g., FIG. 6A) can comprise hollow spheroidal dome member 620 having aperture 621 defined in surface 613 of the spheroidal dome member 620. As illustrated spherical dome member 620 can also be an ellipsoid or a hemisphere. Aperture 621 is defined by border 622 and as illustrated can be oval. Spheroidal dome member 620 can have circular open base with rim 623 defining an undulation forming four lobes 641, 642, 643, 644, about every 1.57 radians (rad) or 90 degrees, wherein lobe 641 is disposed below aperture 621. Also shown is diametrically opposed ears 624, 625 and button 626. Spheroidal dome member 620 has internal surface 627, which is

complementary in shape (in other words, curvature) to external surface 613 of the head portion of mushroom- shaped housing 610.

[00039] As illustrated in FIG.s 6A, 6B and 7A-C; mushroom- shaped housing 610 has internal surface 617 and external surface (611, 613), having a spheroidal head portion 613' and a flaring 612 cylindrical stem portion 61 Γ (see e.g., FIG. 6B), spheroidal head portion 613' defining circular opening 619 therein (see e.g., FIG. 7A), with a region comprising plurality of apertures 615i defined in the spheroidal head portion 613' disposed diametrically opposed to circular opening 619 having circumference 630. As illustrated, spheroidal head portion 613' is separated from flared 612 cylindrical stem portion 611 ' by an undulating lip 616 forming four (4) valleys 631, 632, 633, 634 about every 1.57 rad. or every 90°, with valley 631 disposed below circular opening 619, and wherein basal end 614 of flared 612 stem portion 61 Γ is configured to couple to a liquid reservoir 500, not shown.

[00040] Turning now to FIG.s 8 A, 8B, and as indicated (see e.g., FIG. 8 A), spheroidal dome member 620 can have circular open base with rim 623 defining an undulation (a sinusoidal surface) forming four lobes extending downward 641, 642, 643, 644, about every 1.57 radians (rad) or 90 degrees, wherein lobe 641 is disposed below aperture 621, lobe 642 is disposed below ear 624, lobe 643 defines the close, blind side and lobe 644 is disposed below ear 625. Similarly, spheroidal head portion 613' is separated from flared 612 cylindrical stem portion 611 ' by an undulating (a sinusoidal surface) lip 616 forming four (4) valleys 631, 632, 633, 634 about every 1.57 rad. or every 90°, with valley 631 disposed below circular opening 619, valley 633 disposed below the region comprising plurality of apertures 615i. The undulating rim and undulating lip are configured to be complementary in amplitude and latitude, thus mating rim 623 and lip 616. In an embodiment, hollow spheroidal head dome member 620 is configured to frictionally engage mushroom shaped housing 610.

[00041] Accordingly and in another embodiment lobe 641 is engaged in valley 631, aperture 621 and opening 619 are aligned, allowing liquid to be poured from cap 20 or resilient vessel/container 500 (not shown) to be filled; else, if lobe 641 is engaged in valley 633, aperture 621 and plurality of apertures 615i are aligned, allowing the formation of bubbles when esilient container/vessel 500 is squeezed; else if lobe 641 is engaged in valley 632 of valley 634, aperture 621 is not aligned with any opening and the liquid inside container/vessel 500 is thus secure from spilling.

[00042] Furthermore, spheroidal head dome member 620, or a portion thereof, for example rim 623 can be formed of a resilient thermoplastic resin that can be configured to frictionally engage head portion 613' ; and by simultaneously pressing ears 624, 625, disengage lobes 641 and 643, allowing spheroidal head portion 620 to rotate and change positions among the various configurations.

[00043] The term "resilient" (elastically flexible) is used to qualify such flexible features e.g., for the liquid reservoir, as generally returning to the initially molded shape without permanent deformation and refers in some embodiment to a consistency of the bottle walls whereby the spaces or cross-sections enclosed by such walls are variable both by external action and under pressure motions within the liquid as such.

[00044] Further provided, is a resilient; shampoo bottle, detergent bottle, soapsuds bottle, or a resilient liquid reservoir comprising a liquid capable of forming bubbles comprising the bubble forming cap 10 and/or 20 disclosed and claimed herein.

[00045] The term "coupled", including its various forms such as "operably coupling", "coupling" or "couplable", refers to and comprises any direct or indirect, structural coupling, connection or attachment, or adaptation or capability for such a direct or indirect structural or operational coupling, connection or attachment, including integrally formed components and components which are coupled via or through another component or by the forming process. Indirect coupling may involve coupling through an intermediary member or adhesive, or abutting and otherwise resting against, whether frictionally or by separate means without any physical connection. Furthermore, the term "frictionally engage" means to that objects are in physical contact such the objects are substantially resistant to relative motion between the objects such as, for example, sliding, translating, lifting or slipping. Accordingly, it is noted that while objects may be both frictionally engaged and coupled at the same time, objects that are frictionally engaged are not necessarily coupled. Similarly, objects that a coupled are not necessarily frictionally engaged. In another embodiment, the term "frictionally engaged" means that the spheroidal head dome member 620 is frictionally engaged to head portion 613' of mushroom shaped housing 610.

[00046] "Combination" is inclusive of blends, mixtures, alloys, reaction products, and the like. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, herein do not denote any order, quantity, or importance, but rather are used to denote one element from another.

[00047] The terms "a", "an" and "the" herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, and are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or clearly contradicted by context. The suffix "(s)" as used herein is intended to include both the singular and the plural of the term that it modifies, thereby including one or more of that term (e.g., the aperture(s) includes one or more aperture).

[00048] Reference throughout the specification to "one embodiment", "another embodiment", "an embodiment", and so forth, means that a particular element (e.g., feature, structure, and/or characteristic) described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment described herein, and may or may not be present in other embodiments. In addition, it is to be understood that the described elements may be combined in any suitable manner in the various embodiments.

[00049] The term "selectably" means capable of being activated. In another embodiment, the term "selectably engage" is meant to indicate that the means for engaging the wrapping sheet can be activated if desired, but there is no specific requirement that engaging means is necessary for the operation of the machine. Other coupling/engaging means can also be used.

[00050] The term "about", when used in the description of the technology and/or claims means that amounts, sizes, formulations, parameters, and other quantities and characteristics are not and need not be exact, but may be approximate and/or larger or smaller, as desired, reflecting tolerances, conversion factors, rounding off, measurement error and the like, and other factors known to those of skill in the art. In general, an amount, size, formulation, parameter or other quantity or characteristic is "about" or "approximate" whether or not expressly stated to be such and may include the end points of any range provided including, for example +25%, or +20%, specifically, +15%, or +10%, more specifically, +5% of the indicated value of the disclosed amounts, sizes, formulations, parameters, and other quantities and characteristics. [00051] One or more components may be referred to herein as "configured to,"

"configured by," "configurable to," "operable/operative to," "adapted/adaptable," "able to," "conformable/conformed to," etc. The terms (e.g. "configured to") can generally encompass active-state components and/or inactive-state components and/or standby-state components, unless context requires otherwise.

[00052] Furthermore, for the purposes of the present disclosure, directional or positional terms such as "top", "bottom", "upper," "lower," "side," "front," "frontal," "forward," "rear," "rearward," "back," "trailing," "above," "below," "left," "right," "horizontal," "vertical," "upward," "downward," "outer," "inner," "exterior," "interior," "intermediate," "posterior", "anterior", "apically", "basally" etc., are merely used for convenience in describing the various embodiments of the present invention.

[00053] While particular embodiments of the bubble-forming cap, specifically, the swiveling bubble-forming cap have been described, alternatives, modifications, variations, improvements, and substantial equivalents that are or may be presently unforeseen may arise to applicants or others skilled in the art. Accordingly, the appended claims as filed and as they may be amended, are intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications variations, improvements, and substantial equivalents.
