ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bubble blower toy, and more particularly to a jumbo bubble blower toy, which improves the structure of the bubble-blower toy disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/166,706, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,093,075.
According to the design of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/166,706, the bubble-blower toy comprises an elongated solution container having a narrow opening, and a bubble-blowing device for insertion into the solution container to take a solution from the solution container for blowing jumbo bubbles. The bubble-blowing device comprises an operating unit, and a folding collapsible bubble-blowing unit. The operating unit drives the folding collapsible bubble-blowing unit between an open position where the operating unit forms a triangular open frame for blowing jumbo bubbles, and a closed position where the operating unit is collapsed for insertion into the solution container. However, because the operating unit is connected to the connecting point between the long arms of the bubble-blowing unit, linking means is necessary to let the bubble-blowing unit to be moved with the operating unit between the closed position and the open position. Further, before inserting the bubble-blowing device into the solution container, the bubble-blowing unit must be closed first.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a jumbo bubble blower toy, which eliminates the aforesaid problem. According to the present invention, the jumbo bubble blower toy comprises a bubble-blowing device and a solution container. The bubble-blowing device comprises an operating unit, and a folding collapsible bubble-blowing unit. The bubble blowing device comprises a bubble blowing unit and an operating unit, the bubble blowing unit having two long arms pivoted together and a folding arm pivotally connected between the two distal ends of the pivoted long arms for enabling the bubble blowing unit to be turned, by means of the operation of the operating unit, between a closed position where the folding arm is folded up and the long arms are close together, and an open position where the long arms and the folding arm are extended out, forming a triangular open frame for blowing jumbo bubbles. The operating unit comprises a handle having a shank pivoted to a pivot between two symmetrical halves of the folding arm for enabling the folding arm to be turned inwards toward each other to close the bubble blowing unit when the connecting area between the long arms of the bubble blowing unit is inserted into the solution container, or turned outwards to open the bubble blowing unit when the bubble blowing unit is removed from the solution container. This design enables the bubble-blowing unit to be directly inserted into the solution container before collapsing, and the bubble-blowing unit is automatically forced inwards and collapsed when inserted into the solution container.
