Abstract

A bubble producing device that includes a housing with a motor, a pump and an air producing device, all of which are electrically connected. A shaft with two ends, one end of which is connected to said housing and the second end is connectable to a bubble producing solution reservoir. A duct connected on one end to the air producing device and on the other end to a nozzle. The nozzle includes an open inner portion and an outer portion, wherein the outer portion includes a trough which surrounds an outer circumference of the nozzle and includes an outlet and an inlet. The inner portion includes a wiper secured therein. A solution channel pumps solution from the reservoir to the outlet to create bubbles and a recirculation channel pumps excess solution from the inlet back to the reservoir.

Claims (28)

1. A bubble producing device comprising:

a housing containing a motor, a pump, and an air producing device;

a shaft with two ends, wherein a first end is connected to said housing;

a bubble producing solution reservoir connectable to a second end of said shaft;

a duct comprising a first and second end, wherein the first end is connected to said air producing device;

a nozzle secured to said second end of the duct comprising an inner and outer portion, wherein said outer portion includes a trough with an outlet, and wherein the inner portion includes a wiper secured therein;

a channel comprising a tubular structure with a first and second end, wherein the first end is submerged within the solution reservoir and the second end is connected to the outlet; and

a converter connected between the first and second end of the channel, wherein the diameter of the channel between the first end and the converter is larger than the diameter of the channel between the converter and the second end by at least ten percent.

2. The bubble producing device of claim 1 , further comprising a nozzle cover secured adjacent to the nozzle, wherein the nozzle cover comprises a discharge orifice and a gasket secured around an outer edge thereof.

3. The bubble producing device of claim 1 , further comprising LEDs secured within the housing.

4. The bubble producing device of claim 1 , wherein the motor, pump, air producing device, and air duct are secured within an enclosure secured within the housing.

5. The bubble producing device of claim 1 , wherein the inner portion includes two open semicircle portions that surround the wiper.

6. The bubble producing device of claim 1 , wherein the wiper rotates 360 degrees around the inner and outer portion of the nozzle.

7. A bubble producing device comprising:

a housing containing a motor, a pump, and an air producing device;

control circuitry secured within the housing, wherein the circuitry includes a wireless communication system including a sender and a receiver;

a vibrational element and a speaker secured within the housing, wherein the vibrational element and the speaker are activated via a unique beacon within a proximity of the device;

LEDs secured within the housing, wherein the LEDs and bubble production of the device are activated by the unique beacon;

a shaft with two ends, wherein a first end is connected to said housing;

a bubble producing solution reservoir connectable to a second end of said shaft;

a duct comprising a first and second end, wherein the first end is connected to said air producing device;

a nozzle secured to said second end of the duct comprising an inner and outer portion, wherein said outer portion includes a trough with an outlet and an inlet, and wherein the inner portion includes a wiper secured therein;

a channel comprising a tubular structure with two ends, wherein a first end is submerged within the solution reservoir and a second end is connected to the outlet; and

a second channel comprising a tubular structure with two ends, wherein one end is connected to the inlet and the other end is within the solution reservoir, wherein the second channel comprises a converter connected therein between the two ends of the channel, wherein one end comprises a larger diameter than the other end of the channel.

8. The bubble producing device of claim 7 , further comprising a nozzle cover secured adjacent to the nozzle, wherein the nozzle cover comprises a discharge orifice and a gasket secured around an outer edge thereof.

9. The bubble producing device of claim 7 , wherein the motor, pump, air producing device, air duct, control circuitry, vibrational element, and speaker are secured within an enclosure secured within the housing.

10. The bubble producing device of claim 7 , wherein the inner portion includes two open semicircle portions that surround the wiper.

11. The bubble producing device of claim 7 , wherein the wiper rotates 360 degrees around the inner and outer portion of the nozzle.
