| Abstract: |
A bubble-blowing apparatus for use in blowing bubbles from bubble solution may be provided with a bubble solution container capable of holding a volume of bubble solution and having a rounded bottom surface and a container side wall that at least partially defines an interior volume. The container may have a weight distribution, when the internal volume of the container is at least partially filled with bubble solution, that causes the container to automatically move to an upright position from a tilted position angularly displaced from the upright position. The apparatus may also be provided with a cap member that is capable of being attached to the bubble solution container and a bubble wand having a bubble-blowing orifice disposed therein.

What is claimed is:
1. A bubble-blowing apparatus for use in blowing bubbles from bubble solution, said bubble-blowing apparatus comprising:
- a bubble solution container capable of holding a volume of bubble solution, said bubble solution container comprising:
- an annular neck having a circular opening formed therein;
- a threaded portion disposed on said annular neck;
- a rounded bottom surface; and
- a container side wall that operatively interconnects said rounded bottom surface and said annular neck, said container side wall at least partially defining an interior volume,
- said container side wall having a portion that is spaced from said rounded bottom surface so that said side wall portion at least partially defines a centrally located three-dimensional space within said interior volume and so that an outer three-dimensional space is disposed between said side wall portion and said rounded bottom surface,
- said outer space not being disposed within said interior volume and not being occupied by bubble solution when bubble solution is disposed in said container,
- said container having a weight distribution when said internal volume of said container is at least partially filled with bubble solution,
- said weight distribution causing said container to automatically move to an upright position from a tilted position angularly displaced from said upright position;
- a cap member that is capable of being attached to said bubble solution container, said cap member comprising:
- a threaded portion that is shaped to be coupled to said threaded portion of said bubble solution container;
- a top portion having an opening disposed therein; and
- a tube that surrounds said opening disposed in said top portion of said cap member, said tube extending downwardly from said top portion of said cap member into said bubble solution container when said cap member is attached to said bubble solution container; and
- a bubble wand having a first end and a second end, said first end of said bubble wand having a bubble-blowing orifice disposed therein and said second end of said bubble wand having a handle portion associated therewith, said first end of said bubble wand being sized so that said first end of said bubble wand is capable of passing through said opening disposed in said top portion of said cap member and through said tube so that said first end of said bubble wand can be submerged in bubble solution when said container is filled with a volume of bubble solution and when said first end of said bubble wand is passed through said opening in said top portion of said cap and said tube.
