[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a chewing confectionery in which confectionery such as chewing gum and candy is enclosed and the gums are massaged while enjoying the taste of the confectionery melted by chewing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, sweets such as chewing gum and candy are squeezed in the mouth, chewed and mixed with saliva to soften and enjoy the melted taste, and enjoy the taste enclosed in gum. However, for those with bad teeth, candy sticks to the teeth and causes cavities even if they want to eat, and people with cavities may remove the crown from their teeth. I could not fully enjoy the taste of confectionery. In addition, for people with dentures, small pieces of cookie and rice cracker that were formed when they were crushed were caught between the teeth and gums, and when they bite, the gums hurt and it became difficult to bite, and cleaning of the dentures after meals was difficult.

Therefore, in order for even people with bad teeth to enjoy the taste of sweets at ease, as shown in FIG. 8, the taste of various kinds of sweets is stored in the foreskin body 52 formed of silicon rubber, synthetic rubber or the like. By accommodating the encapsulated confectionery 53 and repeatedly chewing the foreskin body, saliva invades through the small holes 54 provided on the surface of the foreskin body 52 to melt the confectionery 53 inside, and the liquid of the melted confectionery 53 becomes small holes 54. A chewable confectionery 51 has been devised that can be spread in the mouth and enjoy its taste.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the wrapping body 52 of the conventional chewable confectionery 51 is made of a soft material such as silicon rubber or synthetic rubber as described above, it does not melt. Therefore, after the confectionery 53 contained in the foreskin 52 has melted and disappeared, the foreskin 52 must be spit out and discarded. However, since the shape of the foreskin body 52 is an elliptical shape, which is about the size of a normal drop candy, there is a risk that it will be accidentally swallowed while the foreskin body 52 is being chewed. As described above, if an infant or the like accidentally swallows it, it may become clogged in the throat or may be clogged in the body, which is very dangerous.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a flexible tube made of a flexible material such as silicone rubber or synthetic rubber is provided with a blind end at the tip, and the wall surface of the flexible tube is made rough and holes are formed. A flexible cylinder having a fitting recess formed on the peripheral surface of the rear end fitting portion that stores and closes the confectionery inside, and a cylindrical shape made of a synthetic resin material, and the fitting recess is fitted to the inner wall at one end. A configuration in which a holding body provided with a fitting convex portion is detachably connected is used as means for solving the above problems. Further, a large number of needle-like or brush-like projections are formed on the entire surface or a part of the surface of the flexible cylinder having a blind end portion at the tip, and holes are provided through the wall surface of the flexible cylinder. It contains confectionery that softens or crumbles when chewed inside, and a fitting recess formed in the rear end fitting part provided in the rear part of the flexible cylinder and a cylindrical shape made of synthetic resin material on the inner wall at one end. The present invention is characterized in that it is connected to a holding body having the provided fitting convex portion. Furthermore, the hole formed on the surface of the flexible tube is formed in a cut.

[0006]

[Action]

 The fitting recess on the back of the flexible tube containing the confectionery inside is connected to the fitting projection on one end of the cylindrical holder, and the tip of the flexible tube is held in the mouth and repeated. The air in the flexible cylinder is expelled by chewing, and the negative pressure generated inside sucks the saliva in the mouth into the small holes, and the saliva absorbed in the flexible cylinder and the confectionery mix and melt. The confectionery juice melted in this way is pushed out of the small holes by chewing the flexible cylinder and spreads in the mouth. Moreover, since the holder connected to the rear end of the flexible tube enclosing the confectionery is always located outside the mouth, the confectionery can be enjoyed without swallowing the flexible tube. Since the surface of this flexible tube is rough, for example, a large number of needle-shaped or brush-shaped protrusions are provided, the dirt adhering to the tooth surface can be removed or the gums can be massaged when the flexible tube is chewed. be able to.

By eating as a flavored liquid in this way, the candy or the like does not adhere to the teeth, the metal on the teeth is not removed, and the confectionery can be safely eaten. Furthermore, this confectionery can be eaten easily even if it is solid such as rice cracker, it can be crushed by chewing and mixed with saliva. In the case of a semi-paste type confectionery, it is easy to mix with saliva and can be eaten immediately.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hole 4 provided in the blind portion 3 of the flexible tube 2 is a semi-brick confectionery. If the surface of the flexible tube 2 is provided with a plurality of holes 4, the confectionery taste will be improved. As shown in Fig. 3, the number of holes 4 is set to one because the liquid that has flown out flows too much, and normally, when they are in close contact and chewed, the flexible tube is pressed and the confectionery liquid is pushed out from the holes. is there. Also, in the case of a solid confectionery, when the chew has only one hole 4 as shown in FIG. 3, the taste is hard to come out. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, a cut 13 is formed on the surface of the tip blind portion 3. May be provided to open the cut line 13 by the pressure of biting the flexible tube 2 (FIG. 4B). In this case, the cut 13 is provided in a portion having a sufficient thickness so that the cut does not spread and the confectionery cannot escape.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a holder 16 formed of a synthetic resin material in a cylindrical shape. A hole 17 through which a cord 23 for suspending the holder from the neck is inserted is provided at one end, and the flexible cylinder is provided at the inner wall of the other end. 2 is provided with a fitting convex portion 18 for fitting with the fitting concave portion 9 formed in the rear end fitting portion 8. Further, at the tip of the second holding body 20 shown in FIG. 6, a decorative portion 21 formed in various shapes such as a shape of an animal head, a shape of a zodiac animal or a shape of a constellation is provided. At the same time, a ring 22 through which the cord 23 is inserted is provided at the center of the decorative portion.

The flexible tube 31 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 7 is formed by forming a flexible material of silicon rubber, synthetic rubber or synthetic resin into a tubular shape, and forming a tip blind portion 32 at the tip of the flexible tube. At least one hole 33 is provided in the distal blind portion. An accommodating chamber for accommodating confectionery is provided inside the flexible tube 31, and a large number of needle-shaped or brush-shaped projections 35 are provided on the entire surface or tip portion of the flexible tube.

Since the flexible cylinder and the entire holding body do not enter the mouth because of this, there is no risk of accidentally swallowing when the flexible cylinder is biting while chewing. In this way, since the holding body 16 is exposed from the mouth, it seems that smoking is performed, so it is good for adults, but for children it is misunderstood as smoking by minors. In order to prevent this, the second holding body 20 having the decorative portion 21 at its tip may be used. The silicone rubber forming the flexible tube is sterilized and extremely hygienic because the temperature rises to 100 ° C or higher during molding.

Since the confectionery 6 in the flexible tube 2 does not come out of the flexible tube 2, for example, the gum does not adhere to the teeth, particularly the dentures, and the small pieces of cracked rice cracker are the dentures and gums. You can enjoy the taste of Confectionery 6 without worrying about damaging your gums because it doesn't get in between. Further, in the case of a semi-brick confection, as shown in FIG. 3, the liquid having the taste of the confection does not come out too much from the hole 4 provided in the tip blind portion 3 of the flexible tube 2, and the flexible tube 2 is bitten by the teeth. If you increase the internal pressure at, you can enjoy the taste of sweets from hole 4.

Furthermore, in the case of a solid confectionery, when the taste of the confectionery is not sufficiently obtained from the hole 4 of the flexible tube 2, a cut 13 is provided on the surface of the tip blind portion 3 as shown in FIG. When the tube 2 is chewed, as shown in FIG. 4B, the notch 13 is opened so that the confectionery 6 inside can be easily tasted. In this case, if a cut is provided in the portion having the thickness of the flexible cylinder, the cut does not close and the tasteful liquid of the confection does not leak outside when not bitten by the teeth.

The surface of the second flexible cylinder 31 in the second embodiment is provided with a large number of needle-shaped or brush-shaped protrusions 35, so that when the flexible cylinder 31 is bitten by teeth, each protrusion 35 It is possible to remove stains adhering to the teeth and gums, and to massage the gums to improve blood circulation and strengthen the gums.

As shown in FIG. 6, at one end of the second holding cylinder 20, a decoration formed in various shapes such as a shape of an animal head, a shape of a zodiac animal, or a shape of a zodiac sign. By providing the section 21, the interest of the child is stimulated. In addition, it is possible to prevent the flexible cylinder, which is provided with a fitting convex portion inside the other end, from being connected to the mouth and falling off or swallowing while eating. In particular, in the case of a decorative part in the shape of an animal's head, the decorative part moves each time the flexible tube is chewed, which is effective for attracting the attention of the child and to heal the child, which can be tired. There is no such thing.

Since the flexible cylinder 2 and the holding cylinders 16 and 20 can be detachably attached to each other, the flexible cylinder containing the confectionery having various tastes can be replaced and attached to the holding cylinder to enjoy various tastes. You can also Further, by accommodating a seasoned product which has a smoking cessation effect in the flexible tube 2, the flexible tube 2 and the holding tube 16 are connected to each other to have a shape like a cigarette, thereby further enhancing the smoking cessation effect.
