[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a popsicle stick.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Usually, as for the popsicle, as shown in FIG. 12, the mold 2 is filled with the raw material 3, the stick 1 is inserted from the opening of the mold 2 and frozen, and the popsicle 4 completed together with the stick 1 is molded into the mold. It is manufactured by the method of taking out from 2. This stick 1 is a rod-shaped body, and in the middle thereof, a collar-shaped portion that functions as a lid for covering the opening at the time of manufacture and as a stand on which the popsicle is securely placed when taken out from the mold 2. 5 is often provided.

On the other hand, when manufacturing an ice lolly using a home refrigerator or the like, as shown in FIG. 13, an ice lolly die 6 and a stick 7 made of metal or synthetic resin are used. The stick 7 is a rod-shaped body, and a collar-shaped portion 8 is provided in the middle of the stick 7 so as to close the opening of the ice candy mold 6 containing the raw material 3.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In recent years, with the diversification of foods and improvement of palatability, the aesthetic appearance of foods has become more and more important in industries such as food manufacturing and related industries. Most popsicles have a refreshing fruit flavor, especially by mixing fruit juice and pulp, so that popsicles tend to look like fruits in favor of the popsicle.

However, no matter how much the color or shape resembles a fruit, the sticky feeling, especially the collar-shaped portion, impairs the fruit-like impression. Also, for example, when trying to manufacture ice lollies by simulating strawberries, which are particularly favored as the flavor of ice candies, it does not look like strawberries without garbage alone, but the shape of the sac is complicated and clogged. It is difficult to make popsicles by imitating strawberries.

An object of the present invention is to provide a popsicle stick that does not impair the aesthetic appearance of popsicles and can easily imitate the appearance of fruit and vegetables with a sepal. .

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, the following technical measures are taken to achieve the above-mentioned object. That is, the present invention is an ice lolly stick characterized in that a stalk-shaped portion simulating a stalk of a plant is provided in the middle of the rod-shaped body.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, when manufacturing an ice lolly, the sac-like portion that imitates the sac of a plant acts as a lid for the opening of the manufacturing mold. In the case of a stick popsicle with a stick taken out from the manufacturing mold, the sac-like part is located at the bottom of the popsicle to securely hold the popsicle, and when the popsicle is melted, the person who eats the popsicle melts it. Not only does it fall into your hands, but it also has a vegetative aesthetic that is accompanied by the appearance of the popsicle part.

【Example】

 1 is a front view of a popsicle stick 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a bottom view thereof. In the present invention, ice candies refer to food parts made by freezing raw materials, and in general, an article with a stick to be seen as a finished product is called a popsicle with a stick.

The ice lolly stick 11 includes a rod-shaped body 12 and a stalk-shaped portion 13 that is provided so as to project like a flange from an intermediate portion of the rod-shaped body 12 to the outside. The upper portion (upper surface of FIG. 1) of the rod-shaped body 12 is referred to as the upper portion 12a, and the lower portion is referred to as the lower portion 12b. The sepal-shaped portion 13 includes an annular central portion 14 and a leaf-shaped portion 15 that is continuously provided from the upper end of the central portion 14 to the outer periphery. The leaf-shaped portion 15 has eight leaf-shaped pieces 16 protruding radially, and the sac-shaped portion 13 has a flower- or fruit-like "stump" -like appearance as a whole.

The rod-shaped body 12 and the septum-shaped portion 13 are integrally molded using, for example, a synthetic resin, or simultaneously molded by insert molding or the like. Further, it is preferable that the entire stick 11, or at least only the sepal-shaped portion 13 is colored green. FIG. 4 is a view showing a usage state of the stick 11. The ice candy 10 with a stick is composed of a substantially cone-shaped ice lolly 17 and a stick 11. At the time of manufacturing, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the raw material 23 is injected into the manufacturing die 22 and the stick 11 is arranged so that the sepal-shaped portion 13 covers the opening of the manufacturing die 22. At this time, the upper portion 12 a of the rod-shaped body 12 is embedded in the raw material 25. After being frozen in this state, the raw material 25 becomes the ice candy 17 and is extracted from the manufacturing die 22.

When eating the stick-shaped popsicle 10, as shown in FIG. 4B, the lower portion 12b of the rod-shaped body 12 is arranged downward and the lower portion 12b is gripped. The sac-like portion 13 supports the ice lolly 17 from below and prevents the liquid etc. melted from the ice lolly 17 from flowing down to the hand holding the rod-shaped body 12. The popsicle 10 with a stick has an appearance as if the stalks of strawberries (popsicle 17) were covered with sepals (scaffolds 13).

Therefore, by forming the collar-shaped portion conventionally used as an accessory of the stick as the cap-shaped portion 13, it is possible to solve the conventional problem that the collar-shaped portion impairs the aesthetic appearance, and at the same time, reduce the number of parts and the cost. The ice lolly 10 with a stick can be made to have an appearance that highly imitates plants such as fruits without increasing the number of cells.

5 and 6 show another embodiment of the present invention. The stick 21 is provided with a sepal-shaped portion 23 having a shape imitating an eggplant-shaped sepal (a portion called a scrap) in the middle of a rod-shaped body. The upper part of the stick-shaped body of the stick 21 is embedded in the popsicle-shaped ice lolly 18. The stick 31 is provided with a stalk-shaped portion 33 having a shape simulating a tomato stalk in the middle of the rod-shaped body. The upper part of the stick-shaped body of the stick 31 is embedded in the ice candy 19 in the shape of a tomato.

In this way, it is possible to manufacture a popsicle with a stick having a shape simulating vegetables, fruits, and the like having a sepal, such as eggplant and tomato. 7 is a further embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a partially enlarged sectional view thereof. The parts corresponding to those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the constituent parts not mentioned are the same as those in the first embodiment. The stick 41 includes a rod-shaped body 42 and a sepal-shaped portion 13. The rod-shaped body 42 is composed of an upper rod-shaped body 42a and a lower rod-shaped body 42b, and the sepal-shaped portion 13 is provided near the upper end of the lower rod-shaped body 42b.

A convex portion 45 protruding downward is formed at a lower end portion of the upper rod-shaped body 42a, and a concave portion 46 is provided at an upper end portion of the lower rod-shaped body 42b. By fitting the convex portion 45 into the concave portion 46, the same action and effect as those of the stick 11 in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the upper rod-shaped body 42a may be provided with a recess 47, and the lower rod-shaped body 42b may be provided with a protrusion 48 so that the recess 47 and the protrusion 48 are fitted together. .

FIG. 10 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a partially enlarged sectional view thereof. The components not mentioned are the same as those in the first embodiment. The stick 51 includes a rod-shaped body 52 and a sepal-shaped portion 53. The difference from the stick 11 in the first embodiment is that the rod-shaped body 52 and the sac-like portion 53 are separately molded, and the center portion 54 of the sac-like portion 53 is formed in the middle of the rod-shaped body 52 with an adhesive, for example. It is a point that is fixed by using 55 or the like. With this configuration, the same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment are produced.
