Description

Lid of an elastic vessel for blowing out soap bubbles

The proposed invention relates to entertainment devices for blowing soap bubbles and is intended for use, for example, while taking hygiene procedures using shampoo (detergent, hereinafter shampoo) in an elastic bottle with the inventive cap with the function of blowing soap bubbles.

A device for blowing soap bubbles is known, which contains a stylized housing with a container for soapy liquid and a source of compressed air having an outlet channel, at least one diaphragm mounted in the housing with the possibility of movement by means of a drive and placement in a container for soapy liquid and opposite the outlet channel ... The source of compressed air can be equipped with a means for changing the speed of the air flow, which can be made in the form of a damper. The diaphragm and the damper can work synchronously (RF patent N "2019244, A63H 33/28, on. 15.09.1994).

The disadvantage of the device is the complexity of the design, including the use of a special unit for changing the speed of the air flow, for example, a damper.

The closest to the claimed one in terms of the set of essential features and the achieved result is a device for the formation of soap bubbles, comprising: a container for soapy liquid; a loop movable inside said container to a position below the liquid level or removed from said liquid and a controlled system for supplying compressed gas to said container through an expandable chamber, in which a spring pushes the piston to its lower position, and compressed gas injected into the expandable chamber (air) in the chamber expands, causing the piston to move upward until its radial holes align with the groove in the inner surface of the cylinder in which the piston moves. When this happens, air is forced out of the central hole of the piston through an air nozzle in the upper surface of the piston, where the above loop is installed, through which the soap bubble is blown out when the loop is removed from the liquid by the piston moving upward. The system for supplying compressed gas to the specified container through an expandable chamber can be manually controlled (US patent JV "9050543 A63H 33/28, on. 06/09/2015 - prototype).

The disadvantage of the prototype device is its complexity and the complexity of its use, associated, in particular, with the presence of a spring that pushes the piston to its lower position; to compress the spring and move the piston upwards into the sub-piston space - the expandable chamber - a pre-compressed gas (air) is pumped; the compressed gas supply system can be manually controlled, for example, by the type of pressure control in the tonometer cuff; nevertheless, even such a compressed gas supply system - from a separate compressed gas storage unit - for operating the device remains complex. Accordingly, the complexity of the device and its application do not allow it to be used for entertainment in everyday conditions, for example, when bathing children.

The problem to be solved and the technical result of the claimed invention are to create an easy-to-manufacture and use device for blowing soap bubbles used for entertainment in everyday conditions, for example, when bathing children; by setting the piston in motion in the cork of an elastic vessel by manually squeezing the latter and by means of a lever system associated with the piston, which aligns the bubble blowing ring with the hole - c wo «21 / ⁽ 4i 2 by _{pressing an} elastic vessel and mixing ^ 1 _x _dl ^{/ 0®} d3? _o tso into a soap solution after blowing out a soap bubble and stopping the squeezing; without using a compressed gas storage unit.

The problem is solved by the fact that a device for blowing soap bubbles is proposed, which includes a cavity for soap solution and a diaphragm periodically placed in a soap solution associated with a piston driven by manual supply of compressed gas, characterized in that it is a cover with the function of blowing soap bubbles for an elastic vessel, in the stopper of which there is a channel for supplying shampoo from an elastic vessel with a branch from it of a shampoo dispenser channel into a cavity for a soap solution and an air channel with a piston installed in it, set in motion by manual squeezing of an elastic vessel and connected to a ring in as a diaphragm through a lever system, while an opening is made in the wall of the air channel for connecting the air channel through the air duct with a nozzle hole in the wall of the cavity for the soap solution, and the lever system is configured to align the ring with the specified nozzle hole.

The lever system is a guide, at one end of which a ring is fixed, and the opposite end is connected to an axis fixed in the body of the cover, with the possibility of making a guide of rotational oscillations about the specified axis within the limits determined by the distance between the upper and lower limiters of piston movement installed above each other. the other on the outer surface of the piston, while the inner surface of the air channel has a groove corresponding to the specified limiters. The piston can be made hollow, open at the bottom and having a side hole aligned with the hole in the wall of the air channel, while the lever system is two parallel guides, between the ends of the same name of which a ring is fixed, and the opposite ends are connected to an axis fixed in the body of the cover, with the possibility of the lever system performing rotational oscillations about the specified axis within the limits determined by the distance between the upper and lower pairs of piston movement stops mounted one above the other on the outer surface of the piston, while the inner surface of the air channel has opposite grooves corresponding to the said stops.

The claimed lid for an elastic vessel with the function of a device for blowing soap bubbles consists of the actual plug, which closes the neck of the elastic vessel, and a cavity for the soap solution. The claimed cover is schematically shown in Figs. 1-5, including: Fig. 1, 2 - a device in section according to claims 1-2 of the claimed claims, Figs. 3-4 - a device in section according to claim 3 of the claimed claims, Fig. 5 is an external view together with an elastic vessel.

9 - a ring for blowing bubbles;

10 - axis, fixedly fixed in the body of the cover;

11 - upper limiter of piston 7 movement;

12 - the lower limiter of the piston 7;

13 - groove made on the inner wall of the air channel 4;

14 - side hole in the wall of the piston 7 (when the piston is hollow and closed at the top);

The fixed axis 10 fixes, among other things, the height of the horizontal position of the guide 8; when the piston 7 moves up and down in the air channel 4, the guide 8 performs rotational oscillations about the axis 10 with the simultaneous movement of the guide 8 between the limiters of the piston 7: upper 11 and lower 12 within the distance between them.

The device according to claims 1-2 of the claims operates in the following sequence (FIGS. 1-2).

1. When turning the elastic vessel upside down to use the shampoo for its intended purpose, squeeze the shampoo out of the elastic vessel through channel 2; in this case, part of the shampoo through the dispenser channel 3 enters cavity 1. By changing the diameter of the dispenser channel 3, it is possible to regulate the dosage of shampoo into cavity 1.

2. Return the elastic vessel to the bottom-down position, scoop up water into cavity 1 through hole 15 in the lid and shake to obtain a soap solution.

3. Bring the device to its original position (figure 1), when the pressure inside the elastic vessel and in the air channel 4 of the claimed cover corresponds to atmospheric, since the elastic vessel communicates with the atmosphere, in particular, through the gap between the piston 7 and the wall of the air channel 4, and also through the channel for supplying shampoo 2 of the proposed lid. The position of the piston 7 in the air channel 4 is extremely lower, in which the hole 5 in the wall of the air channel 4, communicated by the air duct 18 with the nozzle hole 6 in the wall of the cavity 1, is closed by the piston 7. With the indicated position of the piston 7, the guide 8 is in an inclined position, is supported from above by the upper limiter 11 of the piston 7 movement and brings the ring 9 to the position under the level 17 of the soap solution.

4. The elastic vessel is squeezed, thus moving the air from it into the air channel 4, correspondingly increasing the pressure in the sub-piston volume. Under the influence of the increased pressure, the piston 7 gradually moves upward along the air channel 4. As the piston 7 moves to the extreme upper position, the lever system (guide 8, connected at one end to the stationary axis 10) brings the ring 9 to a position above the level 17 of the soap solution and then up to alignment with the nozzle hole 6 in the wall of the cavity 1. Moreover, the guide 8, one end connected to the stationary axis 10, as its other end moves with the ring 9 from the soap solution (Fig. 1) to the horizontal position (Fig. 2), it simultaneously moves between the upper 11 and lower 12 limiters of the piston 7 due to guide 8 of rotational movement counterclockwise about the axis 10.

At the same time, a hole 5 opens in the wall of the air channel 4, which is communicated by an air duct 18 with a nozzle hole 6 in the wall of the cavity 1 (Fig. 2). Under the action of the pressure increased by squeezing the elastic vessel in the sub-piston space, the air moves from the elastic vessel to the air channel 4 and then through the hole 5 into the air duct 18 to the nozzle hole 6, with which the ring 9 with the soap film is aligned. Under the action of the pressure of the air supplied from the squeezed elastic vessel, the soap bubble is blown out through the ring 9.

5. Stop squeezing the elastic vessel. Due to the elasticity, it seeks to return to its original shape, as a result of which the sub-piston volume increases, and the air atmosphere under the piston 7, accordingly, is diluted. The piston 7, including under the action of gravity, moves down the air channel 4. In this case, the depth of advancement of the piston 7 downward is limited by the distance between the upper 11 and lower 12 stops for the movement of the piston 7, between which the guide 8 moves when it rotates clockwise relative to the axis 10 from the horizontal position to the position shown in Fig. 1 when the ring 9 is immersed into the cavity 1 under the level of the soap solution 17, and the piston 7, in turn, is fixed in the lowest position, closing the hole 5 in the air channel 4 (Fig. 1 - the initial position of the device).

6. Squeeze the elastic vessel by moving the air pressure in the sub-piston space of the piston 7 from the extremely lower position (Fig. 1 - initial position) to the extremely upper (Fig. 2) and then - according to the above-described paragraph 4 of the sequence of the device operation: air comes from the elastic vessel into the air channel 4 and then through the hole 5 into the air duct 18 to the nozzle hole 6, with which the ring 9 with the soap film is aligned. Under the action of the pressure of the air supplied from the squeezed elastic vessel, the soap bubble is blown through the ring 9 (Fig. 2).

Bringing the device to its original position (figure 1), repeat the operation of the device according to paragraphs 3-6 of the list of the sequence of its operation. When the device is operating according to points 3-6, the soap solution is simultaneously prepared in cavity 1 by mixing the shampoo with water while moving the ring 9. Periodically, to replenish the cavity 1 with soap solution, the operations according to points 1-2 are performed.

Thus, by periodically squeezing the elastic vessel, the proposed device according to claims 1-2 of the claimed claims is ensured.

The device according to claim 3 of the claims - when the piston 7 is hollow (closed at the top and with a side hole 14) - operates in the following sequence (Figs. 3-4).

1. When the elastic vessel is turned upside down to use the shampoo for its intended purpose, the shampoo is squeezed out of the elastic vessel through channel 2; while part of the shampoo through the channel dispenser 3 enters cavity 1. By changing the diameter of the dispensing channel 3, it is possible to adjust the dosage of shampoo into cavity 1.

3. Bring the device to its original position (Fig. 3), when the pressure inside the elastic vessel and in the air channel 4 of the claimed cover corresponds to atmospheric, since the elastic vessel communicates with the atmosphere through, in particular, through the gap between the hollow piston 7 and the wall of the air channel 4, as well as through the shampoo supply channel 2 of the proposed lid. The position of the hollow piston 7 in the air channel 4 is extremely lower, in which the side opening 14 of the hollow piston 7 is closed by the inner wall of the air channel 4 (Fig. 3). The piston space is isolated from the air duct 18.

The lever system in this device is represented by two parallel guides 8, between the ends of the same name, a ring 9 is fixed, and the opposite ends are connected to the axis 10 fixed in the body of the cover.

With the indicated position of the hollow piston 7, the specified pair of guides 8 is in an inclined position and is supported from above by the upper pair of stops 11 for the movement of the hollow piston 7 and brings the ring 9 to the position under the level 17 of the soap solution.

4. The elastic vessel is squeezed, thus moving the air from it into the air channel 4, correspondingly increasing the pressure in the sub-piston volume. Under the influence of the increased pressure, the hollow piston 7 gradually moves upward along the air channel 4.

As the hollow piston 7 moves to the extreme upper position, the lever system (a pair of guides 8, between the ends of the same name of which the ring 9 is fixed, and the opposite ends are connected to the axis 10 fixed in the body of the lid) brings the ring 9 to a position above the level 17 of the soap solution and then until it is aligned with the nozzle hole 6 in the wall of the cavity 1.

Moreover, a pair of guides 8, one end connected to the stationary axis 10, as its other end moves with the ring 9 from the soap solution (Fig. 3) to the horizontal position (Fig. 4) simultaneously moves between the upper 11 pair of stops and the lower 12 pair of stops movement of the piston 7 due to the performance of a pair of guides 8 counterclockwise rotation about the axis 10.

At the same time, the side hole 14 in the wall of the hollow piston 7 is aligned with the hole 5 in the wall of the air channel 4, communicated by the air duct 18 with the nozzle hole 6 in the wall of the cavity 1 (Fig. 4). Under the action of the pressure increased by the compression of the elastic vessel in the sub-piston space, the air moves into the air channel 4 and then through the hollow piston 7, through the side hole 14 in the wall of the hollow piston 7 into the hole 5, into the air duct 18 to the nozzle hole 6, with which the ring 9 is aligned with a soap film. Under the action of the pressure of the air supplied from the squeezed elastic vessel, the soap bubble is blown out through the ring 9.

5. Stop squeezing the elastic vessel. Due to the elasticity, it seeks to return to its original shape, as a result of which the sub-piston volume increases, and the air atmosphere under the piston 7, accordingly, is diluted. The piston 7, including under the action of gravity, moves downward along the air channel 4. In this case, the depth of advancement of the piston 7 downward is limited by the distance between the upper pair 11 and the lower pair 12 of the piston 7 movement limiters, between which a pair of guides 8 moves when performing a rotational movement clockwise relative to the axis 10 from the horizontal position to the position shown in Fig. 3, when the ring 9 is immersed in the cavity 1 under the level of the soap solution 17, and the piston 7, in turn, is fixed in the lowest position, closing the side opening 14 of the hollow piston 7 with the inner wall of the air channel 4 (Fig. 3). The piston space is isolated from the air duct 18.

6. The elastic vessel is squeezed by moving the hollow piston 7 from the extremely lower position (Fig. 3 - initial position) to the extremely upper position (Fig. 4) by air pressure in the sub-piston space and then according to the above-described paragraph 4 of the sequence of operation of the device with a hollow piston: air from the squeezed elastic vessel enters the air channel 4 and then into the hollow piston 7, through the side hole 14 in the wall of the hollow piston 7, the hole 5 into the air duct 18 to the nozzle hole 6, with which the ring 9 with the soap film is aligned. Under the action of the pressure of the air supplied from the squeezed elastic vessel, the soap bubble is blown out through the ring 9.

Bringing the device to its original position (Fig. 3), repeat the operation of the device according to paragraphs 3-6 of the list of the sequence of its operation. When the device is operating according to points 3-6, the soap solution is simultaneously prepared in cavity 1 by mixing the shampoo with water while moving the ring 9. Periodically, to replenish the cavity 1 with soap solution, the operations according to points 1-2 are performed.

Thus, periodically squeezing the elastic vessel, ensure the operation of the proposed device according to claim 3 of the claimed claims. Thus, a device for blowing out soap bubbles in the form of a lid of an elastic vessel, which is used for entertainment in everyday conditions, for example, when bathing children, has been developed, which is simple in design and use; by driving the piston in the plug of the elastic vessel by manually squeezing the latter and a simple lever system connected to the piston, which combines the ring for blowing bubbles with the nozzle hole when squeezing the elastic vessel and moving the ring into the soap solution after blowing out the soap bubble and stopping the squeezing. The device does not require storage of compressed gas.
