Abstract
A bubble producing toy which resembles a spinning baton. It includes a handle and a cross-member rotatably mounted on the handle. A liquid bubble solution is stored in a reservoir in the hub of the cross-member. A pair of oppositely extending arms form part of the cross-member. A bubble diffuser is attached to the outer end of one of the arms and an imitation bubble diffuser is attached to the outer end of the other arm. The bubble diffuser arm is hollow and functions as a conduit to deliver the liquid bubble solution to the diffuser. The diffuser has a rotating wand which is driven by the rotation of the cross-member relative to the handle. The wand wipes a film of liquid bubble solution across elongated openings in the bubble diffuser. Air passing through passages in the rotating wand and the bubble diffuser creates bubbles from the liquid bubble solution film.
