Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention pertains] This invention is designed to blow air into the soap liquid stored in a container and blow the soap bubbles out from the soap bubble outlet provided in the container. This relates to a soap bubble toy.

[Prior art and its disadvantages] Conventional products are those in which the tip of a pipe, which is an independent member, is immersed in the soap liquid in a container and the other end of the pipe is blown with the mouth, or the tip of a pipe connected to the container is immersed in the soap liquid. Since the pipe is blown with the mouth while facing the soap liquid in the container, it is difficult to place the pipe in a stable state immediately after use, and it is easy to fall from the container and get soap liquid attached to the surrounding area. Furthermore, if the container is accidentally overturned or tilted, the soap liquid flows out of the container and permeates the surrounding area, making it difficult to clean up afterwards. Furthermore, with conventional products, it was difficult to reliably generate soap bubbles while the operator was moving.

[Purpose of this invention] In view of the above points, this invention allows the operator to grasp the container with one hand and operate it with the other hand, even while the operator is moving or when placed on a flat surface. To provide a soap bubble toy which can generate soap bubbles easily and reliably, has a container with good static stability, and prevents soap liquid from flowing out even if the container is tilted or overturned. The purpose is to

[Example] Next, an example of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

When viewed from the outside, the soap bubble toy according to this invention consists of a container A, a grip B extending downward from the bottom of the container, a leg C provided at the lower end of the clip, and a grip provided on one side of the container. It has an operating section D that is

Legs C are provided to allow the toy to stand upright on a desk or floor in a stable manner. In a preferred embodiment, the size is such that, as will be described later, the soap bubble outlet 7 provided on the top surface of the container will be at a certain height and direction so that the soap bubble liquid will not flow out if the container is tipped or tipped over. is set to . In the illustrated example, the leg C is formed of a flat plate, but its shape may be arbitrary. For example, it may be formed of three or four radially projecting elongated members.

Grip B is attached to container A by plastic material.
The toy is integrally formed with the toy, and the toy is held at a predetermined angle in a stable state by being gripped by this grip, held during use, or pressed onto a flat surface such as a desk via the legs C. can be done easily.

Container A is provided above grip B, and extends from the upper end of the grip to both front and rear sides so as to be able to stand up with stability. A partition wall 3 that runs parallel to the outer wall 2 from the front end to the rear end of the container A and divides the space inside the container into left and right halves, and an outer peripheral wall 4
It has a hollow shape on the left side of the rear end of the container by the outer wall 1, the partition wall 3, a part of the outer peripheral wall 4, and the partition wall 5 provided between the outer wall 1 and the partition wall 3. A soap bubble reservoir 6 is formed, and a soap bubble outlet 7 communicating from the soap reservoir 6 to the outside is provided on the upper surface of the outer peripheral wall 4 above the soap reservoir. This outlet is opened at a position closer to the center in the width direction of the container than the inner wall surfaces on both the left and right sides of the soap bubble reservoir.

A rotating body 8, which is a component of the soap bubble generator, is provided in the soap bubble reservoir 6 so as to be rotatable by a shaft 9 passing through the partition wall 3. This rotary body 8 has a structure in which rectangular holes are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction on the peripheral wall of a bottomed cylindrical body, and the upper half of the hole is stored in a soap bubble liquid reservoir. It is provided above the liquid level. Further, inside the rotating body 8, an air outlet at the tip of an air pipe 10 introduced from the opening side is opened toward the soap bubble outlet 7, and the base end of the pipe 10 is connected to the partition wall 5. The outer wall 1 and the inner partition wall 1 are penetrated by
1 and a part of the outer peripheral wall 4 . A fan 13 is rotatably provided in the fan mounting chamber 12 by means of a shaft 14 penetrating through the partition walls 11 and 3. In this embodiment, the fan 13, the air supply pipe 10, and the rotating body 8 constitute a soap bubble generator. However, it is not limited to this.

A hole 15 is formed on the front left side of the outer wall 1 at a position corresponding to the fan 13, and this hole communicates the fan mounting chamber with the outside.

Since the illustrated example is for rotating a fan, the operating section D is composed of a handle, and is connected to the outer wall 2 and the partition wall 3 at approximately the center in the longitudinal direction of the multi-side wall 2 of the container A. A shaft 16 is rotatably supported by a shaft 16 passed through the space 17 formed between the outer wall 2 and the partition wall 3, and a shaft 16 is connected to the shaft 9 of the rotating body 8 to decelerate the rotation of the handle D. Transmitting gear trains 18 to 21 and shaft 16 to fan 1
Gear trains 22 to 26 are provided on the shaft 14 of No. 3 to accelerate and transmit the rotation of the handle.

With the above configuration, by gripping the toy in the grip B and holding it in your hand, or by placing the leg C on a flat surface and gripping and pressing the toy,
When the handle D is rotated with its knob 27 in a stable state, the fan 13 is rotated at high speed, so air is sucked in from the hole 15, compressed, and sent above the air outlet of the pipe 10 inside the rotating body 8. At the same time as the air is blown toward The air blowing out from the pipe turns the stationary membrane into soap bubbles, which are successively blown out upwardly and externally from the bubble blowing port 7 on the top surface of the container.

The fan 13 may be rotated by a small DC motor, and in this case, the operating section D serves as a switch for supplying current from a dry cell battery to the motor.

In the above component, the legs C have a width that fits within the plane projection of the toy container placed upright on a plane. That is, the left side 28 of the leg lies in a common plane with the grip and the left outer wall 1 of the container, and the right side 29 lies in a common plane with the outer left wall 2 of the container. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the toy falls to either the left or right side, the soap bubble outlet 7 maintains the required height and the soap bubble liquid L does not flow out. As long as the soap bubble outlet is provided at a height that prevents the soap liquid L from flowing out from the soap bubble outlet even if the container falls over, the periphery of the legs may protrude slightly outward from the planar projection of the container.

The amount of protrusion of the rear side 30 of the leg C from the front surface of the grip B is also adjusted so that when the toy is tilted forward as shown in Fig. 5, the bubble outlet is located at a higher position than the soap bubble liquid level. It is set. The larger the amount of leg protrusion, the higher the standing stability, but as described above, the amount of protrusion is limited to a range where the soap bubble liquid L does not flow out when the user tilts or falls.

[Effects of this invention] As mentioned above, according to this invention, since a grip is provided at the bottom of the container, the toy remains stable even when it is held in the hand and moved, or even when placed on a flat surface. You can play by operating the control panel to make sure the bubbles blow out. Furthermore, since the grip has legs at the lower end, it is highly stable when placed on a desk or the like. Since the soap bubble outlet is opened on the top surface of the container at a position closer to the center than the inner surfaces of both sides of the soap liquid reservoir, even if it is tilted or overturned by mistake, the soap bubble outlet will flow out from the soap bubble outlet. It never flows out. Therefore, the floor surface around the play area will not be soiled with soap liquid due to lack of attention by children or the like.
