Description
SOUND-EMITTING AND BUBBLE-BLOWING TOY
The present invention relates generally to a toy sound-emitting and bubble-blowing device, preferably in the shape of a musical instrument, such as a saxophone.
Children tend to spend a considerable amount of their time indulging in the world of play, fantasy and make-believe. One facet of a child's fantasy world involves the entertainment industry, more specifically toy musical instruments.
To indulge them, the toy industry is challenged to provide musical instruments that can produce new, more entertaining or more interesting action. For example, U.S. Patent No. 2,989,818, which issued to J. B. Filger, et al., on June 27, 1961, discloses a bubble-blowing trumpet adapted when air is blown into the mouthpiece to produce a single musical sound. Also, when a button is depressed, a bubble liquid film is placed in the path of air blown into the mouthpiece to produce bubbles. The trumpet also has a spill-proof reservoir that prevents spillage of liquid from the trumpet no matter what position it is placed in.
The toy of the present invention is adapted, upon depression of a button, to actuate both sound-emitting and bubble-blowing mechanisms for simultaneously generating a musical sound and emitting bubbles, thereby providing a toy that is more entertaining, interesting, and amusing to children.
More specifically, the invention consists of a ~ ~ .
20~267 toy sound-emitting and bubble-blowing device comprising: a mouthpiece; sound-emitting means;
bubble-blowing means; air passage means connecting the mouthpiece to the sound-emitting means and bubble-blowing means; a manually depressible button;
and linkage means activated by the button for coupling the manuall~ depressible button to the sound-emitting means and to the bubble-blowing means, whereby depressing the button while blowing into the mouthpiece causes sound to be emitted from the sound-emitting means and bubbles to be blown from the bubble-blowing means.
In the detailed description of the invention presented below, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a side-elevational view of a preferred embodiment of a toy saxophone of this invention with half of the housing removed to show the air tubes, sound-emitting and bubble-blowing mechanisms, and button actuating mechanism therefor;
Fig. 2 is a front segmental view of the mouthpiece of the toy saxophone of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 with a portion of the sound-emitting mechanism removed to better show the button actuating mechanism for the sound-emitting and bubble-blowing mechanisms;
Fig. 4 is a segmental enlarged view of a portion of the saxophone of Fig. 3 showing a button depressed and the position of the valve pad and wand in response thereto;

With reLerence to Figs. 1 cnd 2, a prererred e~DOdiment 01 2 ~Y sa~ophone 10 OL t:~is inventlon is disclosea comprising a molded body nousing 12 in the aeneral shaoe o. a sa~o~none. The housing 12 is preLeraDl~ formed of two halL sections, joined together by screws or the like, to ~orm a cavity ls within which is mounted a sound-emit.ing means 16, a bubble-blowing means 18, air tube means 20''connec.ing a mouthpiece 22 of the saxophone 10 to the sound-emitting means 16 and bubole-blowing means 18, and lever actuating means 2~ for coupling a manually depressible button 26 OL the, lever actuating means to the sound-emitting means 16 and bubble-blowing means 18.
The housing 12 has outer znd inner annular grooves 28, 30 respectiYely at each end thereor, groove 28 ~or receiving a peripheral lip 32 on mcuthpiece 22, and groove 30 for receiving a 2S peripheral rim 3~ on a bubble liauid-holding cup 36.
The saxophone sound-emitting means 16 ComDriseS a cylindrical sound manirold 38 mounted within the housing cavity 14. The mounting is achieved by a de~ending pin 40 at one end of the manirold insertable into a blind bore in a boss 42 on tAe housing 12, and a hollow nec~ gg at the opposite end o~ the mani~old that is captured within U-shaped notches in mating ~lznges a6 in the housing. The cylindrical manirold 38 houses ~ ' .

-` 2~2~2~7 three separate reeds 48, only one of which is shown, capable of providing three different sounds, and further has three spaced holes 50, only one of which is shown, in the manifold wall, which cooperate with individual valve pads 52 to produce musical sounds in a manner well-known in the art.
In addition to the bubble liguid-holding cup 36, the bubble-blowing means 18 comprises an air nozzle 54 in the bubble liquid-holding cup extending above the level of the bubble liquid L
in the bubble liquid-holding cup 36. The lower end of the cup rotatably supports a shaft 56 having an arm 58 extending laterally from one end 15 thereof for supporting an annular bubble-blowing wand 60 of the conventional type found in the bubble-blowing art. A crank 62 is secured to the opposite end of the shaft 56, having an eccentric ~
pin 64 at one end thereof. The wand 60 is movable ~ -by the eccentric pin 64 between a first position in which the arm 58 and wand 60 are immersed in the bubble liquid L as seen in Fig. 1, and a :~
second position in which the arm and wand are raised to position the wand in register with the air nozzle 54, as seen in Fig. 4. As the wand 60 emerges from the bubble liquid, a soapy film is formed across the wand which is raised into register with the air nozzle 54. A first tube 66 has one end thereof connected to the air nozzle 54 and the opposite end thereof connected to a nipple 68 and first opening 70 in the mouthpiece 22. A
second tube 72 connects the neck 44 on the sound manifold 38 to a second opening 76 and nipple 78 in the mouthpiece 22. Alternatively, the first ~
and second tubes can merge into a common tube -~22~
connected to a nipple and single opening in the mouthpiece.
The sound-emitting means 16 and bubble-blowing means 18 are simultaneously actuated by one or more of the buttons 26 that are manually depressed by a child playing the saxophone 10. The buttons 26 have depending plates 80 that are reciprocally movable within slots 82 in the housing 12, and the ends of the plates 80 are secured to ends of levers 84 pivotally mounted to the housing on pivots 86.
The opposite ends of the levers 84 are provided with laterally extending flanges 88 having pads 52 secured by any suitable means to the undersurface 15 thereof. The buttons 26 are further coupled to the eccentric pin 64 by fingers 92, seen best in Figs. 3 and 4, on the opposite ends of the levers 84 engageable with shoulders 94 on an L-shaped plate 96. The L-shaped plate is mounted for reciprocal movement within the housing 12 by headed pins 98 on the housing extending through elongated slots 100 in the plate 96. The L-shaped end of the plate 96 has a finger 101 having a slotted opening 102 for receiving the eccentric pin 64 of the bubble-blowing means 18.
Accordingl~, when a child blows into the mouthpiece 22 of the saxophone 10 and simultaneously presses one of the buttons 26, as -shown in Fig. 4, the valve pad 52 is raised from -the opening 50 and the air blown into the sound manifold 38 will actuate a reed 48, causing the sound-emitting means 16 to emit a sound.
Depression of the button 26 also causes the wand 60 to be moved from the bubble liquid L

~2~2~7 with the air nozzle 54, as seen in Fig. 4, for generating bubbles by the air blown through the first tube 66.
Springs 104 are interposed between ends 106 of each of the button plates 80 and the housing 12. Also, a spring 108 is interposed between a laterally extending finger 110 on plate 96 and a boss 112 on housing 12 for returning the buttons 26 to their normal undepressed condition, and the wand 60 to its normal first position, in which it is immersed in the bubble liquid. The rim 34 of the bubble liquid-holding cup 36 is further provided with an annular lip 114 to prevent the bubble liquid L from spilling out of the saxophone `
10 when the child changes the orientation of the saxophone by, for example, laying it on its side or turning it upside down. Also, rim 34 is provided with a V-shaped opening 1-16 through which bubble liquid can be poured into and out of the cup 36. A cork 118 is used to close off opening 116, and is provided with a stop head 120 to prevent the cork from becoming detached from the rim.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described with particularity, -: -it will be appreciated that various changes and modifications may suggest themselves to one having ordinary skill in the art upon being apprised of the present invention.
