Dual head continuous bubble blower

Abstract

First and second rotational ring structures each include a plurality of individual circumferentially arranged rings. The structures are spaced from each other and situated in substantially the same plane. A fan creates an airflow through the housing. A liquid dispensing section has conduits which deliver bubble generating liquid onto rings of each of the rotational ring structures. A siphoning mechanism draws bubble generating liquid from a reservoir and to each of said first and second rotational ring structures. A drive mechanism rotates the rotational ring structures. A motor powers the siphoning mechanism, the drive mechanism, and the fan, such that separate continuous bubble streams are created simultaneously.

         4 . The bubble generating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of individual rings of each of said first and second rotational ring structures are spaced circumferentially from each other. 
     
     
         5 . The bubble generating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said drive mechanism comprises a gear assembly, said gear assembly comprising a central gear situated between said first rotational ring structure and said second rotational ring structure. 
     
     
         6 . The bubble generating apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said motor is adapted to rotate said central gear. 
     
     
         7 . The bubble generating apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said gear assembly further comprises a first gear connecting said central gear with said first rotational ring structure and a second gear connecting said central gear with said second rotational gear structure. 
     
     
         8 . The bubble generating apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid dispensing section is disposed proximate to the opening at the second end portion of the housing. 
     
     
         9 . The bubble generating apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the fan is coupled to a second end of the motor and is situated proximate to the opening in the second end portion of the housing. 
     
     
         10 . A bubble generating apparatus comprising: a housing comprising first and second end portions; a first rotational ring structure rotatably seated in the housing and disposed proximate to an opening defined in the second end portion of the housing, a second rotational ring structure rotatably seated in the housing and disposed proximate to said opening defined in the second end portion of the housing, wherein each of said first and second the rotational ring structures comprise a plurality of individual rings; a reservoir coupled with the housing and configured to store bubble generating liquid; a fan which creates an airflow through the housing; a liquid dispensing section comprising a first liquid outlet and a second liquid outlet, said first outlet being operable to dispose the bubble generating liquid onto the plurality of individual rings of said first rotational ring structure, thereby creating a film of bubble generating liquid across the plurality of individual rings of said first rotational ring structure; said second outlet being operable to dispose the bubble generating liquid onto the plurality of individual rings of said second rotational ring structure, thereby creating a film of bubble generating liquid across the plurality of individual rings of said second rotational ring structure; a conduit having a first end extending into the reservoir and a second end connected to said first outlet and said second outlet; a siphoning mechanism operable to draw bubble generating liquid from the reservoir and through the conduit to said first outlet and said second outlet; a drive mechanism operable to drive said first rotational ring structure and said second rotational ring structure; a motor operable to power said drive mechanism, said fan; and said siphoning mechanism; wherein airflow through the housing causes said first and second rotational ring structures to form separate continuous bubble streams. 
     
     
         11 . The bubble generating apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said drive mechanism comprises tan assembly of gears, said assembly comprising a central gear situated between said first rotational ring structure and said second rotational ring structure.
