ABSTRACT:
A bubble maker comprises a support and a pair of separate bands connected to the support at first and second spaced-apart positions. The bands are adapted to extend substantially parallel and near to each other and also to flexed and stretched so as to form a gap of substantial size between the bands. A dispenser mounted on the support dispenses a bubble-forming solution near the first position, and a collector mounted on the support collects excess solution near the second position. Drawstrings mounted on the support engage the elastic bands at positions intermediate the first and second positions for separating the bands. A pump pumps solution from the collector to the dispenser. Accordingly, when the support is oriented with the first position above the second and solution is dispensed onto the bands, the bands are separated by the drawstrings, and a gentle air current is established relative to the bubble maker so that air passes between the separated bands, a portion of the solution forms a bubble and excess solution flows down to and is collected by the collector, from which it can be recirculated to the dispenser by the pump.
