Disclosed herein are sustainable (reusable, refillable, and recyclable) systems and methods for bubble solutions, which in various embodiments may comprise a bubble box/container/carton (recyclable), a refill bubble bag with spout (recyclable), a bubble bottle (refillable and reusable) including a bottle neck and a tamper-evident bottle cap with bubble wand (either attached to the cap or non-attached), and a liquid bubble solution/concentrate (environmentally friendly).

A bubble generating device that includes a housing having an outer surface and a motor and fan device positioned in the housing. The fan device may be operably coupled to the motor so that the motor, when activated, causes the fan device to rotate to generate an upward air stream within the housing. The bubble generating device may also include a trough for containing bubble solution and a spout protruding beyond the outer surface of the housing and configured such that bubble solution fed into the spout flows into the trough. A bubble generating assembly may be operably coupled to the motor, so that when the motor is activated the motor causes bubble generating members of the bubble generating assembly to move into contact with the bubble solution in the trough and then into alignment with the upward air stream to generate bubbles from the bubble solution.

A bubble blowing apparatus comprising a main body, a plurality of legs connecting the main body to a base, a motor, a fan operably coupled to the motor to blow an upward stream of air, a liquid fountain unit operably coupled to the motor to blow a bubble solution upward, a gear shaft operably coupled to the motor to rotate about a rotational axis, and a plurality of bubble wands rigidly affixed to an upper portion of the gear shaft. Further, the gear shaft is configured to continuously rotate about the rotational axis, such that each of the plurality of bubble wands repetitively cycle between the two positions of (1) passing over the liquid fountain unit so as to amass upwardly blown bubble solution, and (2) passing over the fan such that the amassed bubble solution contacts the upwardly blown air and forms a bubble.

A toy for producing bubbles, smoke, and smoke-filled bubbles, which includes a bubble solution reservoir connected to a housing via a shaft. A bubble producing engine and an air producing device, which is connected to an air duct, are secured within the housing. A smoke cartridge is connected to the air blower via an air channel, which channel flows through the air cartridge and joins with the air duct. A bubble and smoke discharge nozzle is secured to a second end of the air duct, and the nozzle includes a film producing assembly and a discharge orifice. A channel with a tubular structure has a first end is submerged within the solution reservoir and a second end is connected to the bubble film producing assembly. Smoke and air are pushed through the bubble film producing assembly to emit smoke-filled bubbles, smoke and bubbles through the discharge orifice.

An illuminating animation device secured within the housing of a bubble producing toy. Animation is created by the illumination of LEDs, which are secured within chambers of the device and project through a film and onto an inside surface of the housing. A printed circuit board is secured within the device and is electrically connected to a microcontroller unit secured within the housing. One mode of activating the illuminating animation device is via the connection of a hat to the housing. The hat includes resisters that close a circuit between the toy and the hat. The microcontroller unit detects and recognizes the value of the resistors and transmits a correlating signal to various electronic components of the toy, which activates features associated with the resistance value.

A bubble generating apparatus and a method for producing bubbles. The bubble generating apparatus may include a bubble solution reservoir containing a bubble solution, a water chamber containing water, an atomizer fluid configured to convert the water to vapor, and a bubble generating device having at least one opening. There may be a motor and a first fan device operably coupled to the motor. Upon activating the atomizer and the motor, the bubble generating device becomes loaded with the bubble solution, the atomizer converts the liquid in the liquid chamber to a vapor, and the first fan device generates a first air stream that causes the vapor to flow towards the at least one opening of the bubble generating device to generate one or more bubbles from the bubble solution loaded on the bubble generating device, the bubbles being filled with the vapor to give the bubbles a cloudy appearance.
