COMPOSITION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING COLORED
BUBBLES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BUBBLES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[002] This invention relates generally to colored bubbles, and more specifically to a composition and method for producing substantially uniformly colored bubbles. The compositions are non-toxic and, if necessary, are washable.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[003] Bubbles have long fascinated children, adults, and scientists alike.
The formation of bubbles for recreation and entertainment is a well-recognized and widely practiced past-time. In its simplest form, bubble blowing involves dipping a shaped article having an opening into a liquid soap solution followed by blowing into the opening to form one or more bubbles. A bubble is generally defined as a small volume of gas contained within a thin liquid spherical envelop.
A wand, for example, is generally immersed into a bubble solution and air is blown through spherical opening to generate bubbles. Surface tension causes the bubble solution to for a film across the opening. Upon application of a sufficient force or pressure upon one side of the film, a bubble is formed and expelled from the opening.
-I-[004] A variety of bubble solutions have been marketed over the years, many of them claiming to have special features like longer lasting bubbles, solutions that produce greater numbers of bubbles, or solution that provide bubbles having a colorful in appearance. Some manufacturers adorn their bubble packaging with illustrations of colored bubbles, or add colorants to tint their bubble solution, in an effort to provoke the illusion of a colored bubble.
Some manufactures have added modifying agents like glycerin to produce a transparent bubble with a transparent iridescent rainbow effect. One manufacturer added color directly to the bubble and/or the bubble solution in an effort to create designs on a piece of paper with what they labeled a colored bubble. This composition of liquid solution does not produce a visually colored bubble, but rather a bubble that is used as a vehicle to transport the color to the marking surface. The bubble wall is transparent and does not produce a uniformly colored bubble. Rather the color runs to the bottom of the bubble wall. Others manufacturers claim to produce bubble that is illuminated when viewed in the dark with infrared radiation or black light, but transparent in regular light.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[019] Prior to the present invention, it was generally considered extremely difficult if not impossible to make a colored bubble with uniform color intensity throughout the bubble: A bubble's wall is only a few millionths of an inch thick and up until the present invention it was considered that the bubble wall was incapable of being colored.
[020] Traditionally, when a light waves hits the surface of a bubble, part of the light is reflected back to a viewer's eye from the outer surface and part of the light is reflected from the inner surface which is a few millionths of an inch further. As the two waves of light travel back, they interfere with one another causing what we visualize as color. When the w aves reinforce each other, the color is more intense. When the waves get close to canceling each other out, there is almost no color. As a bubble wall gets thinner, either from a weakened solution or because gravity has pulled the additives to the bottom of the bubble, the distance between the inner surface and the outer surface of the bubble becomes less and less until the two reflected waves of light start to coincide and cancel each other out. The result is that the bubble loses its color and can become nearly invisible.
[021] Prior to the present invention, it has proven extremely difficult, if not impossible, to develop a colored bubble composition with uniform color intensity throughout the bubble. When the dyes are added to the soap/bubble.
solution, they form colored solution but when the bubbles are blown, the resulting bubbles are colorless.
solution, they form colored solution but when the bubbles are blown, the resulting bubbles are colorless.
[022] The present invention surprisingly provides bubble compositions that have substantially uniform coloration about the bubble. The bubbles can have a wide range of opacity, colors and scents. The compositions and resultant bubbles are non-toxic and/or washable.
[023] The present invention further provides compositions and methods for producing bubbles, as described herein, having a wide range of opacities, ranging from essentially translucent to semi-transparent to opaque. The bubbles can be intrinsically colored; the composition from which the bubbles are formed itself is colored.
[024] In some embodiments, the bubbles have substantially uniform color intensity. In other embodiments, the bubbles can have non-uniform color intensity and/or dispersion.
[025] The -phrases "substantially uniform" or "substantially uniformly"
are intended to refer to coloration about the bubble such that the coloration intensity is approximately equal from the top of the bubble to the bottom of the bubble. In such an embodiment, the coloration in the bubble is dispersed evenly throughout the bubble and coloration streaking or having an increased concentration of color at the bottom of the bubble is substantially avoided.
It should be understood that the coloration throughout the bubble can be such that a swirling pattern, random or non-random, can be seen on the surface of the bubble's film, but yet not having an increased concentration of color at the bottom of the bubble. For example, the substantially uniform color could be considered "solid" or could have a swirled aspect, [026] The phrases "non-uniform" or "non-uniformly" are intended to refer to coloration about the bubble such that the coloration intensity is concentrated, for example, more at the top and bottom of the bubble. Such fanciful bubbles can be very interesting to children.

Such fanciful bubbles can be very interesting to children.
[027] The phrase "colored bubble" is intended to refer to a bubble that can be uniformly or non-uniformly colored, as described herein, but does not have a change in coloration over a given period of time and does not have the coloration disappear from the bubble. Colored bubbles retain their coloration throughout the period of time the bubble exists, generally from about a few seconds to about a few minutes.
[028] The aqueous solutions o f the present invention generally contain between about 1 and about 9 0 p arts water, in p articular b etween about 10 and about 80, and more particularly between about 20 and about 70 percent based on a total weight percentage of the final composition. In one aspect, the water utilized can b e o rdinary t ap water o r s pring w ater. In another a spect t he w ater can b e deionized water or water purified by reverse osmosis.
[029] The compositions of the, invention include a surfactant. Suitable surfactants include anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic compounds and combinations thereof. The surfactant can be either polymeric or non-polymeric.
[030] . The term "surfactant" is recognized in the relevant art to include those compounds which modify the nature of surfaces, e.g. reducing the surface tension of water. Surfactants are generally classified into four types:
cationic (e.g.
modified onium salts, where part of the molecule is hydrophilic and the other consists of straight or branches long hydrocarbon chains such as hexadecyltrimethyl bromide), anionic, also known as amphiphatic agents (e.g., alkyl or aryl or alkylarylsulfonates, carboxylates, phosphates), nonionic (e.g., polyethylene oxides, alcohols) and ampholytic or amphoteric (e.g. dodecyl-beta-alanine, such that the surfactant contains a zwitterionic group). One or more surfactants can be used in the present invention.

[035] Additionally, suitable nonionic surfactants include polyoxyethylene carboxylic acid esters, fatty acid glycerol esters, fatty acid and ethoxylated fatty acid alkanolamides. Block copolymers of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, and block polymers of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide with propoxylated ethylene diamine are also included as acceptable nonionic surfactants. Semi-polar nonionic surfactants like amine oxides, phosphine oxides, sulfoxides, and their ethoxylated derivatives are included within the scope of the invention.

[054] Suitable optional additives to the compositions of the invention include, humectants, preservatives, fragrance, dye blockers, cleaners, etc.
[055] The term "humectant" is known and helps to retard the evaporation of water from the composition of the invention, thus avoiding premature drying during the application. Not to be limited by theory, it is believed that the presence of a humectant helps to strengthen the bubble formation, enhances even distribution of the dye throughout the bubble and increases life of bubble in the air.
[056] Representative examples of humectants include, but are not limited to, polyhydroxy alkyls, such as glycerin, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, hydroxylated starches and mixtures of these materials. Any effective amount of humectant may be used although a generally useful concentration range for these humectants is from about 5% to about 35% by weight of the total composition. Particular ranges of the humectant include a range of from about 8% to about 30% by weight of the composition and from about 10% to about 25% by weight of the composition. In one particular aspect, the humectant is glycerin.
[057] Not to be limited by theory, it is believed that in some application glycerin helps to evenly distribute the colorant within the bubble film.
[058] Representative examples of preservatives include, but are not limited to, glutaraldehyde, bicyclic oxazolidones, hydroxybenzoic acid esters, iodo-2-propynyl butyl carbamate, methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, and a biocide comprising 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one.

[081] The terms "FD&C" and "D&C" dyes are recognized in the art. In the United States, colorants for food, drugs and cosmetics are regarded as "color additives". The Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic (FD&C) Act of 1938 made food color additive certification mandatory. Since then the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been responsible for regulating all color additives used in food, drugs and cosmetics. Each batch to be sold in the United States has to be certified by the FDA. To avoid confusing color additives used in food with those manufactured for other uses, 3 categories of certifiable color additives were created: 1) FD&C (Food, Drug & Cosmetics) color additives with applications in food, drug & cosmetics; 2) D&C (Drug & Cosmetics) color additives with applications in drug & cosmetics; 3) External D&C (External Drug & Cosmetics) color additives with applications in externally applied drugs & in externally applied cosmetics. The use of all food colors approved for use in the United States are 1 isted i n 2 1 CFR (Code o f Federal Regulation), p arts 7 0 through 8 2 dealing with color additives.

(available from Salis International Inc./Dr. Ph. Martin's). Currently there are 24 Hydrus11 colors that can be used within the scope of the present invention.
[086] Colorants (dyes and pigments) are included in the compositions of the invention in ranges from about I% to about 90% by weight, more particularly from about 3% to about 30% by weight and in particular from about 5% to about 15 /4 by weight.
[087] The c ompositions o f the p resent invention c an b e used with any simple or complex bubble making device, apparatus or machine to generate bubbles.
[088] The compositions of the present invention provide bubbles that have at least average bubble integrity and lifespan. In particular embodiments, the compositions provide bubbles that maintain integrity and/or lifespan for 1 second to about 30 minutes, more particularly from about 2 seconds to about 20 minutes and most particularly from about 5 seconds to about 5 minutes.
[089] The compositions of the present invention can be prepared by the following general method. A. solution of colorant, humectant (glycerin) and/or water are stirred and heated at 50 C for about 15 minutes and cooled to room temperature. Generally, additives such as deionized water, surfactant, preservatives, base and dye blockers are added and the reaction mixture further stirred for 2 hours at room temperature.
[090] More particularly, a mixture of glycerin, dye (colorant) and deionized water was stirred and heated at 50 C for about 15 minutes. The solution was cooled to room temperature, and a polyether surfactant, such as Methocel A4M and an alkyl metal sulfate, such as Colonial SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) was added and stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. In generally, the solution should not be heated at 50 C after the addition of the surfactant(s), otherwise the formulation may either precipitates out or may gel.
[091] In another aspect, a mixture of glycerin, dye (colorant), deionized water, an alkyl sulfonate mixture with betaine, such as Miracare BC27 and an alkanolamide, such as Colamid C, was stirred and heated at 50 C for about 15 minutes. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and stirred, generally for about 2 hours.
[092] It has been found that is beneficial to add a preservative, such as Liquid Germall Plus, at room temperature.
[093] After cooling, the compositions may be bottled. Alternately, the solution may be bottled without cooling.
[094] To produce a substantially uniformly colored bubble for example, a dense, highly concentrated pigment or dye is used. It is desirable that the pigment or dye be non-toxic so that the bubble solution is suitable for use by children. Some suitable colorants include food colors or Hydrus"M (available from Salis International Inc./Dr. Ph. Martin's).
[095] In a first embodiment, a composition heavily loaded with pigment may be used to produce a colored bubble. Such a composition can be formed by mixing a surfactant solution with a colorant. For example, a composition can be formed by mixing 10% Ultra IvoryTM (anionic and nonionic surfactant, ethyl alcohol, water, stabilizing agents, and perfume) and 90% HydrusTM. Another composition can be formed using 2% Ultra Concentrated DawnTM (anioinic and nonionic surfactant, ethyl alcohol, water, stabilizing agents, and perfume) and 98% of any D&C color. Yet another composition can be formed using 2% Ultra Concentrated DawnTM (anionic and nonionic surfactant, ethyl alcohol, water, stabilizing agents, and perfume) and 98% D&C color. Such solutions are not typically completely washable from fabrics and/or skin.
[096] A second embodiment provides a composition. having less colorant. To form such a composition, the composition is heated and mixed in a manner provided by the present invention. A solution of water and surfactants is brought to a boil. The solution is actively stirred to prevent foaming. When the solution has reached a boil, the colorant is added during continued stirring.
The solution is heated to approximately 90 C. The solution is kept at this temperature for approximately 3-10 minutes. The solution,is then cooled. After cooling, the solution may be bottled. One composition uses 50% water, 25% colorant and 25% surfactant. However, these percentages may be varied and as little as approximately 10% colorant may be used. For example, a composition may use 80% water, 10% colorant, and 10% surfactant.
The solution is heated to approximately 90 C. The solution is kept at this temperature for approximately 3-10 minutes. The solution,is then cooled. After cooling, the solution may be bottled. One composition uses 50% water, 25% colorant and 25% surfactant. However, these percentages may be varied and as little as approximately 10% colorant may be used. For example, a composition may use 80% water, 10% colorant, and 10% surfactant.
[097] The present invention further includes kits that include the compositions of the invention and instructions how to use the compositions to form bubbles.
[098] The present invention provides compositions and methods for producing substantially uniformly colored bubbles having a wide variety of opacities ranging from semi-transparent to opaque. The bubbles are substantially uniformly colored, or solidly colored, with approximately equal amounts of color on the top and the bottom of the bubble. Thus, the present invention does not produce bubbles having colorant streaking or a concentration of color at the bottom of the bubble as currently available solutions provide.
