Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial field of application) The invention is a confectionery container for storing and selling chocolate, gum, etc. More specifically, this article concerns improvements to confectionery containers with whistles that are of interest to children.

(Prior art) A conventional confectionery container with a whistle has a shaft made of an elastic material fixed to one end of the container, and the tip of the shaft performs air supply and exhaust as it deforms, and produces a whistle sound at the air supply and exhaust port. The structure is such that a whistling sound generating body having a generating part is provided and a whistling sound is generated by shaking the whistling sound generating body. The whistle sound generating body is composed of a hollow bellows body and a whistle generating part (valve) provided in a part of the bellows body and close to the supply and exhaust ports.

This conventional product has a structure in which supply and exhaust are performed by deforming the whistling sound generating body, and a sound is produced when the exhaust air is discharged from the air supply/exhaust port. Therefore, unless the whistling sound generating body is shaken strongly, it will make a loud noise. Does not appear. Therefore, when an elastic shaft is fixed to the whistle generator and the whistle generator is swung around the base end of the elastic shaft as the center of rotation, the amount of deformation of the whistle generator increases, resulting in a loud whistle. It is configured as follows.

By the way, in this conventional product, the whistling sound generating body is provided at the tip of an elastic shaft fixed to one end of the container, so that the whistling sound generating body is swung with substantially the same amplitude. Therefore, since the amount of deformation of the whistling sound generator is approximately constant, the whistling sounds have approximately the same magnitude.

(Purpose) Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a confectionery container that generates strong and weak whistling sounds, and that is more interesting to children and has a higher commercial value than the conventional product.

(Structure) Therefore, in the present invention, a guide cylinder is provided extending from one end of a cylindrical grip body for storing and gripping confectionery, and within this guide cylinder is a base of a vibrating shaft having a whistling sound generator at the tip. The end is inserted so that it can be slid, and when the whistling sound generating body is shaken by grasping the gripping body, the vibrating shaft is sequentially drawn out from the guide tube by the centrifugal force. Therefore, the amplitude of the whistling sound generating body gradually increases, so the amount of deformation of the whistling sound generating body increases and the whistling sound becomes louder. By shaking the whistling sound generating body, the whistling sound generating body is sequentially drawn outward from the gripping body, thereby increasing the child's interest.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, a is a cylindrical grip made of plastic and stores sweets such as chocolate and gum inside. A hole b1 is opened and the vibration shaft c is inserted therethrough. The vibration shaft c is made of a synthetic resin member having elasticity such as polypropylene, and has a whistling sound generator d fixed to its tip and a locking plate c1 inserted into the guide tube b at its base end. This locking plate c1 is a disc having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the guide tube b, and is inserted so as to be movable in the axial direction within the guide tube b.

The whistle sound generating body d shown in the figure is a hollow body whose external shape is formed into the three-dimensional shape of an animal using plastic, and a bellows-shaped air portion d1 is formed in the portion forming the body, and a pressing force provided on the air portion d1. The pressing portion d2 forms the arm and head of the animal. An air hole d3 for injecting and discharging air is provided at the bottom of the air portion d1, and a protrusion d4 for generating a whistling sound is provided below this air hole d3 (FIG. 3).
Therefore, by pressing the air portion d1 with the pressing portion d2, the air portion d1 is compressed, and the air inside the air portion d1 is discharged from the air hole d3 toward the protrusion d4, producing a whistling sound.

As the air portion d1 expands due to its elasticity, air is supplied into the air portion d1 from the air hole d3.

Figure 2 shows a state in which the grip part a is held in the hand and the whistling sound generating body d is swung left and right. The vibration shafts c are sequentially let out from inside the guide cylinder b. Therefore, since the length of the vibration axis c of the portion protruding from the guide tube b changes, the amplitude of the whistling sound generator d changes.

Due to the change in the amplitude of the whistling sound generator d, the amount of compression of the bellows-shaped air portion d1 also changes, so that the whistling sound changes from large to small.

(Effects) According to the present invention, by grasping the gripping body and shaking the whistle sound generating body, the vibration shaft c having the whistle sound generating body at the tip is sequentially drawn out from the guide tube. Therefore, the length of the portion of the vibrating shaft that protrudes from the guide tube changes, and the amplitude of the whistle sound generator changes from large to small.

Therefore, the intensity of the whistling sound changes depending on the amount of change in the whistling sound generating body, so that it is possible to provide a toy that is full of interest. Moreover, when the whistling sound generating body is shaken, the vibration axis of the whistling sound generating body protrudes outward or becomes shorter, so if the whistling sound generating body is formed into the external shape of an animal, etc., it may be difficult for children. This makes it possible to provide products with even more interest and high product value.
