Bubble making system

Abstract

A system for containing bubble solution and converting the solution into bubbles through a particular motion is disclosed. The system includes a sealed reservoir for containing the bubble solution and having an outlet, an aperture array adapted for cooperation with the particular motion to cause the bubble solution to convert to bubbles; and a delivery network adapted for allowing flow of the bubble solution from the outlet to the aperture array only during the particular motion. Several exemplary devices employing the system are also disclosed.

         14 . The system of  claim 1  in combination with a pivotable device for dispersing the bubbles, the pivotable device comprising:
 a housing having a pivot axis, a proximal end adjacent the pivot axis and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the distal end adapted for being pivoted about the pivot axis; wherein 
 the particular motion is the pivoting; 
 the reservoir is disposed approximate the proximal end; 
 the aperture array is disposed approximate the distal end; and 
 the delivery network allows flow of the bubble solution to the aperture array only during the pivoting. 
 
     
     
         15 . The combination of  claim 14  further comprising a pivot handle at the pivot axis.
