Bubble-making toy having multiple compartments

Abstract

A bubble-making toy provides a container structure having a main compartment for containing bubble solution and an outside compartment within which a bubble forming ring can be positioned. The main compartment and outside compartment can be opened to one another by way of a valve so that the bubble forming ring can be brought within the bubble solution and where the main compartment and outside compartment can be closed to one another during bubble generation by a user. Such a bubble-making toy reduces the possibility of bubble solution spillage during non use or storage of the bubble-making toy and during the time of bubble generation. Moreover, the design allows easy access of the bubble forming ring to the bubble solution. The provision of an adequately sized outside chamber also advantageously permits a bubble ring with a filling of bubble solution to be shielded until the time when a user intends to create a bubble. An actuator connected with the bubble forming ring is easily manipulated by a user that be used in opening and closing the valve provided between the main compartment and the outside compartment. A bias force is also preferably utilized to urge the valve toward a closed position between the main and outside compartments so that a normal closed position if provided to minimize spillage possibilities.
