<p>A bubble blowing figure toy (10) having a hollow torso configured with a head portion (12) defining a mouth opening (14) and a squeezable body portion (16). An operative device (20) is arranged substantially within the torso of the figure toy for generating bubbles from a bubble forming liquid applied to the mouth opening. In response to squeezing of the figure toy, a stream of air is directed toward the mouth opening to facilitate bubble formation into either a large bubble or a series of generally uniform smaller bubbles. The operative device includes a mouthpiece (28), an air bladder (32), and an air duct (30). The mouthpiece arranged at the mouth opening of the toy and to one end of which the bubble forming liquid is applied, the mouthpiece having means for retaining applied bubble forming liquid to form a meniscus diaphragm across the mouth opening. The air bladder generates an air stream, and the air duct connects the air bladder with the mouthpiece. The air duct is configured to inhibit ingestion of bubble forming liquid into the air bladder. A valve (52) in the air duct further facilitates bubble formation. <IMAGE></p> |
