Abstract

The invention relates to amusement devices for blowing soap bubbles and is intended for use, for example, when washing with shampoo contained in a flexible bottle having a cap configured to be capable of blowing soap bubbles.

Claims (42)

1. A soap bubble blowing cap configured to plug a flexible container containing a soap solution, the cap comprising:

a storage cavity positioned within the cap;

a channel for dispensing the soap solution from the flexible container into the storage cavity;

a nozzle;

an air duct having a wall with an opening; wherein the opening in the wall is configured to direct compressed air entering the air duct from a manual squeezing of the flexible container to the nozzle;

a piston, wherein the piston is installed in the air duct and is configured to be actuated by the compressed air entering the air duct from the manual squeezing of the flexible container;

a diaphragm ring;

a lever system, wherein the lever system is configured to connect the diaphragm ring to the piston such that the actuation of the piston causes the diaphragm ring to move between a position in which it is placed in the soap solution contained in the storage cavity and a position in which it is aligned with the nozzle.

2. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 1 , wherein the lever system includes a guide rod, the diaphragm ring is fixed at one end of the guide rod and an axis within the cap is fixed to an opposite end of the guide rod, the wall of the air duct further includes a groove, and the piston further includes aligned upper and lower piston movement limiters installed on an outer surface of the piston, the aligned upper and lower piston movement limiters are configured to be positioned within the groove such that the guide rod rotates about the axis within limits determined by a distance between the aligned upper and lower piston movement limiters.

3. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 1 , wherein the cap is additionally equipped with a dispenser channel configured to directly deliver the soap solution from the flexible container to an exterior of the cap for hygienic procedures.

4. The soap bubble blowing cap configured to plug a flexible container containing a soap solution, the cap comprising:

a storage cavity within the cap;

a channel for dispensing the soap solution from the flexible container into the storage cavity;

an air duct having a wall;

a piston, wherein the piston is installed in the air duct and is configured to be actuated by compressed air entering the air duct from manual squeezing of the flexible container;

a nozzle;

an L-shaped air outlet, wherein the L-shaped air outlet is configured to direct the compressed air entering the air outlet from the manual squeezing of the flexible container to the nozzle;

a diaphragm ring;

a lever system, wherein the lever system is configured to connect the diaphragm ring to the piston such that the actuation of the piston causes the diaphragm ring to move between a position in which it is placed in the soap solution contained in the storage cavity and a position in which it is aligned with the nozzle.

5. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 4 , wherein the lever system includes a guide rod, the diaphragm ring is fixed at one end of the guide rod and an axis within the cap is fixed to an opposite end of the guide rod, the wall of the air duct further includes a groove, and the piston further includes aligned upper and lower piston movement limiters installed on an outer surface of the piston, the aligned upper and lower piston movement limiters are configured to be positioned within the groove such that the guide rod rotates about the axis within limits determined by a distance between the aligned upper and lower piston movement limiters.

6. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 4 , wherein the cap is additionally equipped with a dispenser channel configured to directly deliver the soap solution from the flexible container to an exterior of the cap for hygienic procedures.

7. A soap bubble blowing cap configured to plug a flexible container containing a soap solution, the cap comprising:

a storage cavity positioned within the cap;

a channel for dispensing the soap solution from the flexible container into the storage cavity;

a nozzle;

an air duct having a wall defining a cross-section and an opening in the wall, wherein the opening in the wall is configured to direct compressed air entering the air duct from manual squeezing of the flexible container to the nozzle;

a flexible membrane, wherein the flexible membrane is installed in the air duct to overlap the cross-section and is configured to be actuated by the compressed air entering the air duct from the manual squeezing of the flexible container;

a diaphragm ring; and

a lever system, wherein the lever system is configured such that actuation of the flexible membrane drives the lever system to move the diaphragm ring between a position in which it is placed in the soap solution contained in the storage cavity and a position in which it is aligned with the nozzle.

8. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 7 , wherein the lever system includes a guide rod, the diaphragm ring is fixed at one end of the guide rod and an axis within the cap is fixed to an opposite end of the guide rod, wherein the guide rod rotates about the axis induced by the manual squeezing of the flexible container.

9. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 7 , wherein the cap is additionally equipped with a dispenser channel configured to directly deliver the soap solution from the flexible container to an exterior of the cap for hygienic procedures.

10. A soap bubble blowing cap configured to plug a flexible container containing a soap solution, the cap comprising:

a storage cavity positioned within the cap;

a channel for dispensing the soap solution from the flexible container into the storage cavity;

an air duct having a wall defining a cross-section;

a flexible membrane, wherein the flexible membrane is installed in the air duct to overlap the cross-section and is configured to be actuated by compressed air entering the air duct from manual squeezing of the flexible container;

a nozzle;

an L-shaped air outlet, wherein the L-shaped air outlet is configured to direct the compressed air entering the air outlet from the manual squeezing of the flexible container to the nozzle;

a diaphragm ring; and

a lever system, wherein the lever system is configured such that the actuation of the flexible membrane drives the lever system to move the diaphragm ring between a position in which it is placed in the soap solution contained in the storage cavity and a position in which it is aligned with the nozzle.

11. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 10 , wherein the lever system includes a guide rod, the diaphragm ring is fixed at one end of the guide rod and an axis within the cap is fixed to an opposite end of the guide rod, wherein the guide rod rotates about the axis induced by the manual squeezing of the flexible container.

12. The soap bubble blowing cap according to claim 10 , wherein the cap is additionally equipped with a dispenser channel configured to directly deliver the soap solution from the flexible container to an exterior of the cap for hygienic procedures.
