Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to candy sticks.

[Conventional technology and its issues]

Many types of candy sticks have been known that have been used in the past, such as those made of synthetic resin and those made of paper.

However, in the case of the conventional candy bar mentioned above,
All of these types of sticks are simply cylindrical or flat, so if the tip of the stick is simply pushed into the candy part during the manufacturing stage of the candy product, the stick will If the stick is formed in a cylindrical shape, the candy part tends to rotate in the circumferential direction of the stick, and if the stick is formed in a flat plate shape, the grip part is susceptible to twisting deformation. It has the problem of being easily torn, and since there is no engaging part between the stick and the candy, the engagement force in the direction of pulling out the stick is weak, and the candy part easily falls off the stick. The problem was that it was easy to use. In particular, if air bubbles remain in the gap of the candy into which the stick has been pushed, the engagement force between the candy and the stick will further weaken, and the frequency with which the candy will fall out of the stick will increase, resulting in poor product quality. This improvement was strongly desired from a management perspective.

In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional candy stick, since the tip of the buried part remains square-shaped,
There was also the problem that it was difficult to insert the stick into the candy during product manufacture, resulting in poor workability.

This device was devised in view of the current situation, and its purpose is to reliably prevent rotation of the candy part in the circumferential direction, and to prevent the stick and candy part from rotating in the pulling direction. The object of the present invention is to provide a candy bar that has a strong engagement force and can greatly facilitate inserting the bar during manufacturing.

[Configuration to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the candy bar according to this invention includes a gripping part formed in a rod shape, a connecting part extending to the upper end of the gripping part, and a connecting part extending to the upper end of the connecting part. and a buried part, wherein the connecting part has a polygonal cross section with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the gripping part and the buried part, and the buried part has a polygonal cross section. The tip is chamfered to form a smooth curved surface.

[Effect]

Therefore, in the candy stick according to this invention, in order to reliably prevent rotation of the candy part in the circumferential direction, the buried part is formed into a polygonal cross section, and the stick and candy part are formed in a polygonal shape. In order to strengthen the engagement force in the pulling direction, the connecting part is formed to have a polygonal cross section with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the gripping part and the buried part, and the insertion of the rod at the time of manufacturing. The tip of the buried portion has a smooth curved surface in order to greatly facilitate the handling.

〔Example〕

This invention will be described in detail below based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the candy bar 1 according to this embodiment includes a grip portion 2 having a cylindrical horizontal cross section, and a connection extending from the upper end of the grip portion 2. It consists of a part 3 and a buried part 4 extending from the upper end of the connecting part 3, and each of these parts 2,
3 and 4 are integrally formed of synthetic resin such as polystyrene by means such as injection molding. In this case, preferably the mixing ratio is about 3 parts of high impact styrene (HIS) to 7 parts of polystyrene, so that appropriate elasticity as a candy stick and good insertion of the stick into the candy can be obtained.

Note that the horizontal cross section of the grip portion 2 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may have any shape, for example, a polygonal shape.

The connecting portion 3 has a smaller diameter than the outer diameter of the gripping portion 2 and the buried portion 4, and has a rectangular horizontal cross-sectional shape. Of course, the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion 3 is not limited to a rectangular shape, but preferably a polygonal shape that prevents the candy 5 from rotating in the circumferential direction of the stick 1.

As described above, the buried part 4 has a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the connecting part 3, and has a rectangular horizontal cross-sectional shape.
As is clear from FIG. 1, the bar 1 is formed to have a smooth curved surface, and is configured to facilitate insertion of the bar 1 into the candy 5 during product manufacture. Of course, the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the buried portion 4 is not limited to a rectangular shape, but may be any polygonal shape that prevents the candy 5 from rotating in the circumferential direction of the stick 1.

Next, the case of inserting the stick 1 configured as above into the candy 5 will be described. The stick 1 set in the lollipop manufacturing apparatus (not shown) is shaped like a heart or a circle as shown in FIG. The embedded part 4 of the rod 1 is pressed and inserted from the direction of the peripheral wall surface 5a into the semi-hardened candy 5 that has been poured into an appropriate mold such as a plate shape, and then the candy 5 is pressed into a product such as a press. In the shaping step, it is brought into close contact with the circumferential surface of the connecting portion 3, and then hardened and appropriately packaged.

[Effect of idea]

Since this device is constructed as explained above, it reliably prevents the candy part from rotating in the circumferential direction, and also strengthens the engagement force between the stick and the candy part in the pulling direction. At the same time, it has many excellent effects, such as greatly facilitating insertion of the rod during manufacturing.
