Abstract

A hand holdable, large bubble producing toy (10) that when activated by a human produces a thin soapy membrane across an air space. Movement of air into the air space results in the production of one or more large bubbles. Activation of the toy (10) is accomplished by manually moving of a pivot arm (76) which electrically operates a pump to supply soapy liquid (54) along the entire length of a pair of half loop members (80,86). Movement of the half loop members (80,86) from an abutting alongside position to an aligned position will encircle the air space and will result in the production of a thin soapy membrane across the air space through which air will be moved to form bubbles.
