Claim 5

A bubble producing device including a walled reservoir for bubble producing liquid, jet discharge means outward of said reservoir selectively operable to discharge a jet of gas into a predetermined area, liquid conveying means selectively operable, independently of said jet discharge means, to convey a small quantity of liquid from within said reservoir to a predetermined location in said area for acting upon by said jet of gas, said jet discharge means including means defining a gas outlet facing along a predetermined path, said liquid conveying means including means defining a short small diameter passage positioned, upon actuation of said conveying means to position said small quantity of liquid in said predetermined location, in axial registry with said gas outlet, said liquid conveying means including an elongated rod supported for longitudinal reciprocation through one wall portion of said reservoir between extended and retracted positions, said passage comprising a transverse passage formed through said rod disposed in said location when said rod is in said extended position and disposed within said reservoir when said rod is in said retracted position.

Claim 6

The combination of claim 3 wherein said device includes a body simulating a hand gun, said body including a barrel defining portion and also enclosing said reservoir therewithin, said barrel defining portion having a longitudinal blind bore formed therein, said area comprising the inner end of said blind bore.

Claim 7

The combination of claim 3 including means yieldingly biasing said rod toward said extended position.

Claim 8

A bubble producing device including a walled reservoir for bubble producing liquid, jet discharge means outward of said reservoir selectively operable to discharge a jet of gas into a predetermined area, liquid conveying means selectively operable, independently of said jet discharge means, to convey a small quantity of liquid from within said reservoir to a predetermined location in said area for acting upon by said jet of gas, said device including a body simulating a hand gun, said body including a barrel defining portion and also enclosing said reservoir therewithin, said barrel defining portion having a longitudinal blind bore formed therein, said area comprising the inner end of said blind bore, said body including pivotally oscillatable hammer defining and trigger defining portions, said conveying means and said discharge means including actuators therefore comprising said hammer defining and trigger defining portions, respectively.

Claim 9

A bubble producing device including a walled reservoir for bubble producing liquid, jet discharge means outward of said reservoir selectively operable to discharge a jet of gas into a predetermined area, liquid conveying means selectively operable, independently of said jet discharge means, to convey a small quantity of liquid from within said reservoir to a predetermined location in said area for acting upon by said jet of gas, said device including a body simulating a hand gun, said body including a barrel defining portion and also enclosing said reservoir therewithin, said barrel defining portion having a longitudinal blind bore formed therein, said area comprising the inner end of said blind bore, said body including pivotally oscillatable hammer defining and trigger defining portions, said conveying means and said discharge means including actuators therefore comprising said hammer defining and trigger defining portions, respectively.

Claim 10

The combination of claim 6 wherein said body includes a hand grip defining portion, said jet discharge means including a flexible resilient bladder housed within said hand grip defining portion, said trigger defining portion including an integral arm portion disposed within said body and engaged with said bladder for at least partially collapsing the latter in response to pivotal movement of said trigger defining portion in one direction.

Claim 11

The combination of claim 7 wherein said bladder includes an air discharge tube having an outlet end, said body defining an inner wall portion closing the inner end of said longitudinal bore in said barrel and having a small diameter bore formed therethrough, the side of said inner wall portion remote from the inner end of said longitudinal bore including an outwardly projecting neck through which said small diameter bore oPens, the outlet end of said discharge tube being secured to said neck.

Claim 12

The combination of claim 8 wherein said discharge tube includes a one way check valve therein, said bladder including an air inlet opening formed therein having a one way check valve operatively associated therewith.

Claim 13

The combination of claim 8 wherein said body includes an air inlet opening opening into the inner end of said bore, said air inlet opening being of a small diameter in relation to the diameter of said longitudinal bore and operable to supply intake air to said bladder through said small diameter bore upon expansion of said bladder after having been partially collapsed.
