[Prior art]
Traditionally, there have been many toys for playing with a small girl imitating a mother and doing kitchen work and meals, among them simulated experience toys that can actually enjoy cooking food safely there were. Among the simulated toys, there was a cotton candy manufacturing device for the purpose of making cotton candy with one's own hands and enjoying parties with friends.
[0003]
The cotton candy manufacturing toy was composed of a base body as a base, a cotton candy manufacturing mechanism, a tray for receiving the manufactured cotton candy, and an electric circuit for controlling the cotton candy manufacturing mechanism. The cotton candy manufacturing mechanism, which is placed on the base body of the cotton candy manufacturing toy, dissolves the sugar that is heated to a high temperature by a heater and dissolves it in a candy-like shape, and scatters it by pulling the thread from the surrounding slits by centrifugal force. A rotary hook that generates cotton candy, a heater having a temperature fuse that overheats the rotary hook to a high temperature, and a motor that rotates the rotary hook. The electrical circuit that controls the cotton candy manufacturing mechanism of the cotton candy manufacturing toy prevents the motor power circuit that rotates the rotary hook, the temperature control circuit of the heater that heats the rotary hook to a high temperature, and the heater section from overheating accidents. It consists of a thermal fuse and a power switch that turns on and off the main power. Moreover, the rotary pot of the cotton candy manufacturing mechanism is metallic and rotates at high speed, and is heated by a heater to a high temperature. Therefore, a resin cover is provided as a safety measure in order to prevent young children from being injured by touching their hands and fingers when the guardians take their eyes off. This cover also had the effect of making it easier to pour sugar into the rotary kettle.
[0004]
To use a cotton candy toy, first plug the product into an outlet and turn on the main power switch. When the power is turned on, the rotary hook starts to rotate and is heated by the heater. Pre-heat for a while, and after the temperature of the rotary kettle reaches the set temperature, add sugar for each cotton candy using the measuring spoon attached to the inlet. If you forget to install the tray at this time, you need to be careful because cotton candy splatters around you, or if you still have hot sugar on your hands, you may burn yourself. After playing, turn the power off when the cotton candy is no longer produced. First, remove the plug from the power outlet to prevent accidental operation, and then cool the rotary hook and rotary shaft sufficiently, disassemble the covers and trays, and clean them. It was a thing.
[0005]
However, in order to clean the cover net and the rotary hook, it was necessary to remove small screws and nuts to remove the cover fixed with screws or nuts, which was dangerous in a room with young babies etc. .
[0006]
In addition, since the cover net and the rotary hook are cleaned and assembled sufficiently, the screws or nuts for fixing the cover must be stored so that they are not lost. If it is lost, it will be necessary to contact the manufacturer of the device and get the parts, which would be a great deal of work.
