[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a stand of a substantially cone-shaped confectionery such as an umbrella-shaped chocolate used for housing a packaging container or for displaying at a store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a confectionary a such as a conical chocolate as shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, this is made by imitating a folded umbrella, and a conical portion is formed by a piece of chocolate or the like.

[0003]

However, the conventional confectionery "a" having a conical portion is not self-supporting and is not stable even when laid down. When a plurality of such confections a are packed in a packaging box or the like, if they are stored in such a box as they are, appearances such as adoption of a box having a transparent portion that allows the confection inside to be seen are also adopted. It is bad. Further, in such a state, the confectionery a
There are problems such as damage to the tip. In this regard, apart from the packaging box, the confectionery a is individually coated on its surface with a wrapping paper such as silver paper or the like, but because of its sharp shape, in particular, a conical portion formed of a block of chocolate. Is easily broken. In consideration of such a point, it is conceivable to install a partition or the like inside the box so as to separately accommodate the individual confections a. However, in this case, a bulky and large packaging box is used. In comparison,
A situation occurs in which only a small number of confections a can be accommodated. On the other hand, the confectionery a having the conical portion
Also, in the case where is sold in bulk at a store, the shape of the confectionery a made it easy to take out, there was no suitable way to display it in a good-looking and space-saving, and it was difficult to handle. The purpose of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a stand of a substantially cone-shaped confectionery according to the present invention is capable of accommodating a plurality of substantially cone-shaped confections a provided on the support portion 2 and provided on the support portion 2. It is formed by the confectionery storage unit 1. Confectionery storage section 1
Are formed in a mortar shape such that they open upward and gradually decrease in cross-section as the inside proceeds toward the inside, so that a plurality of substantially cone-shaped confections a ... Can be accommodated in a state where a plurality of them are closely contacted toward the back.

[0005]

According to the invention, the confectionery stand having the substantially cone-shaped confectionery according to the present invention, which has the above-described means, has a substantially cone-shaped portion tapering toward the tip because the confectionery accommodating portion 1 is formed in a mortar shape. When a plurality of confections are stored in the confectionery storage section 1 from the tip thereof, each confectionery a tries to fall into the deepest part of the storage section by its own weight, and at this time, adjacent confections are pressed against each other and adhered to each other. Housed in state. Thus, confectionery a
A large number of confectioneries a can be accommodated in a small space in a state where they can be easily extracted without creating a useless gap between them. Further, as a result, the confections a are radially accommodated upward, so that the confections a are held in a very attractive and decorative arrangement. Particularly, in the mortar-shaped confectionery accommodating section 1, the tapered substantially cone-shaped portions are brought into close contact with each other, so that the confectionery a.
You can protect each other.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a stand 10 for a conical confectionery according to the present invention has a confectionery container 1 and a support 2.

If the entire stand 10 is formed of a transparent member, the sides of the confectionery a contained therein can be seen from the outside, which is effective in terms of decorativeness. Of course, the opaque or translucent member can be used for the stand 10 according to the present invention.
There is no problem even if it forms. Each part will be described in detail.

The confectionery accommodating section 1 for accommodating the confectionery a is formed in a so-called tapered shape in which the cross section gradually becomes smaller as the inside proceeds toward the inside. This shows a state in which a hollow circular pyramid is turned upside down like a funnel as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the deepest portion 11 of the confectionery housing section 1 is preferably a sharp one which is concentrated at a point, but depending on the size of the confectionery to be stored, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to form and implement a slightly flat portion 11a or a curved surface (not shown). However, if the flat portion 11a or the curved surface is too large, it is difficult to determine the tip of the confectionery a to be stored. There is. Further, a hole having a size such that the confectionery a does not fall off may be opened.

The inner peripheral surface of the container 1 may be polygonal (that is, the confectionery container 1 may have an inverted polygonal pyramid). Further, the outer peripheral surface of the housing portion 1 may have any shape and can be freely changed.

A preferred example in which the confectionery accommodating portion 1 is formed in a state where the above-mentioned cone is inverted will be described in detail. When stored, the confectionery a that is in direct contact with the inner peripheral surface of the confectionery housing section 1 is preferably in a state of being in contact with each other as much as possible, both in terms of stability and appearance from the outside. Therefore, most desirably, there is no gap between any of such confections. However, the size and shape of the confection (exclusively of the tip of the confection) with respect to the size and shape of the accommodating portion (exclusively of the angle of the deepest portion 11) Depending on the angle, none of them can be arranged completely without any gap. Therefore, the confections a that are in direct contact with the inner peripheral surface of the confectionery container 1 are packed without gaps and arranged.
When the gap W is put together at the location, the confectionery a,
The angle y between a (= 360 ° −xn) is substantially y <x / 2
The angle z (FIG. 3) of the deepest part 11 of the confectionery container 1 may be determined so as to satisfy the condition. Here, x indicates the angle of the tip of the confectionery a, and n indicates the maximum number of the confectionery a that directly contacts the inner peripheral surface of the confectionery accommodating section 1. Most preferably, the angle y substantially satisfies y <x / 5. When the angle y exceeds x / 2 for some reason, a position spacer for filling the gap W may be formed or inserted into the confectionery container 1. Of course, it is also possible to mix confections of different sizes. In addition, regarding the depth V (FIG. 3) of the confectionery storage section 1,
It is necessary that the center of gravity of the confectionery a that comes into direct contact with the inner peripheral surface of the confectionery housing section 1 be at least accommodated in the confectionery housing section 1. This is to prevent the confectionery a from easily falling outside.

Focusing on the size of a commercially available confectionery, such as an umbrella-shaped chocolate, the number n when viewed in an attractive state falls within a substantially constant range. z is desirably set to about 50 to 140 °. If the angle is as small as 50 °, the confectionery a becomes unstable and the appearance is deteriorated. On the other hand, if the angle is larger than 140 °, when the confectionery a is stored, it is not easy to align the tips of the confectionery a. The stand 10 accommodates the conical confectionery a in the confectionery accommodating portion 1 as described above. The confectionery a to be accommodated is not limited to the umbrella-shaped confectionery, but may be simply a conical confectionery or a polygonal cone-shaped confectionery. May be used. The confectionery a may have a conical shape or a polygonal pyramid shape only at a part (tip) thereof. For example, the body of the confectionery may be cylindrical or prismatic.

As shown in FIG. 1, the support portion 2 is in a state where a cylindrical body is erected, and a portion near the bottom of the confectionery housing portion 1 is an upper opening of the cylindrical support portion 2. It is united in a state where it fits in.

By forming the confectionery container 1 in such a manner, the confectionery accommodating portion 1 in which a hollow cone or a pyramid is turned upside down like a funnel can be maintained in such an upside down state. I support it. The support 2 is not limited to a cylindrical one as shown in the drawing, but may be any as long as it can support the confectionery container 1 as described above.
The present invention can be implemented even if it takes another shape. For example, it may be formed as an appropriate number of legs extending downward from the surface of the confectionery container 1. When the confectionery a is displayed at the store, there is no problem in the state shown in FIG. 1, but it is inconvenient as it is when packed and carried. An example suitable for this carrying will be described below.

FIG. 5 shows a state where the confectionery stand 10 according to the present invention is accommodated in the packaging box 3. this is,
It is a packaging box that can be carried by hand by being provided with the handbag portion 4. If the packaging box 3 has the transparent portion 5 at the top and the confectionery a on the confectionery stand 10 inside can be seen, it is effective in enhancing the decorativeness.

[0016]

According to the present invention, a conical confectionery such as an umbrella-shaped chocolate can be held in a stable state, and a large number of confectionery can be accommodated in a narrow space with one stand. is there. Moreover, since it can be accommodated radially, it is excellent in decorativeness, and it is possible to take out individual confectionery from the stand very easily. For example, when confectioneries having the same shape and different tastes and appearances are housed together, it is easy to select a desired confectionery. As described above, since a large number of cone-shaped confections are not bulky even when stored in a packaging box or the like, a large box is not required. Further, since the confectionery is held in a stable state in the stand, it does not roll or be damaged. In particular, the fragile tips of the confections, such as cone-shaped chocolates, come close to each other, so that the fragile tips can be sufficiently protected. Therefore, when the consumer eats, peel off the wrapping paper such as silver paper,
Even when the chocolate portion is exposed, the chocolate has an umbrella-like shape without chipping and looks good. In addition, when a large number of cone-shaped confections are to be stored in the empty stand at a time, it is sufficient to simply throw them in, and there is no trouble in obtaining the decorative arrangement after storage. In addition, the dosing operation is a simple operation that can be performed even if the eyes are closed, so that a large number of confections can be appropriately and easily stored at once without failure.
