Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a raw material for toy clay that gels when shaken by adding water and completely solidifies when left for a long time.

Conventional clay for toys has the disadvantage that it undergoes retrograde deformation and deforms when pressed and cut into shapes such as foods.

The present invention provides a clay that gels after a while after adding water, but has elasticity in this gel state and does not deform even when cut.

In other words, conventional clay, like red bean paste, undergoes retrograde deformation when force is applied even if it is in the same gel state, making it impossible to play with it in a manner similar to the real thing. Since the clay of the present invention is elastic like agar, it will return to its original shape even if force is applied, so the clay will not lose its shape.

Immediately after adding water, it is in a sol state, so it can be pressed into a mold and deformed as desired, so it can be made into various shapes just like conventional clay.

Furthermore, if left in a gel state, it dries and solidifies completely, allowing it to be used as a solid simulated food. When soaked in this dried and coagulated water, it absorbs water and becomes elastic again, returning to a gel state, so you can play with it over and over again. Such a function was not found in conventional clay VC&CO.

In this manner, the present invention aims to provide clay that allows a variety of play activities to be performed using one clay.

Hereinafter, the configuration, operation, and effect of the present invention will be explained based on the following examples.

Example 1 Powdered limestone 90%, powdered sodium alginate 5%
When 5% powdered calcium sulfate is evenly mixed and water is added, a relatively hard clay with low viscosity and elasticity is obtained.

Example 2 Powdered silicon dioxide 70%, powdered sodium alginate 15%
, Powdered Calcium Sulfate 15% T - Mix evenly and add water to obtain a clay with just the right viscosity and elasticity, similar to agar.

Example 6゜Powder - 10% silicon oxide, powdered calcium alginate 4
By evenly mixing 5% powdered calcium sulfate and 45% powdered calcium sulfate and adding water, a clay with strong viscosity and elasticity is obtained, approaching a sol state.

When alginic acid and calcium sulfate are each less than 5%, the viscosity is weak, and when it is more than 45%, the clay becomes close to a sol state, making it unsuitable as clay.

Example 4゜Powdered silicon dioxide 50%, powdered sodium alginate 1
0%, powdered calcium sulfate 10%, powdered calcium silicate 15%, powdered magnesium oxide 1° (powdered potassium phosphate 5%)
, flavor and some coloring are mixed evenly and water is added. In this example, drying and curing becomes faster due to the action of calcium silicate.

Powdered calcium silicate preferably has a total weight ratio of 10 to 50%.
□1. ．． 1 It's delicious. If it is less than 10%, curing time will be delayed, and if it is more than 50%, curing will be too early. Further, potassium phosphate is used to delay gelation time, and is preferably 10% or less. If it exceeds 10%, it will take a long time to gel.

This potassium phosphate may be other phosphorus salts or alkali salts such as carbonates, lithium salts, and sodium salts. Magnesium oxide is a starvation agent for increasing volume, and any amount may be added. In addition, the flavorings and coloring agents used are harmless ones that are used in food.

Next, the invention of a simulated toy food exclusively utilizing the specific properties of the raw material for toy clay according to the present invention will be described.

The first factor is the example applied to eggs.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an egg-shaped outer shell made of synthetic resin, with a crack 2 provided in the center, and the shells are adhered so that they can be separated from each other.

6 is yellowish and is made of yellow colored clay that absorbs water and becomes gel-like. 4 is water, yellowish 6
prevents it from drying out. Reference numeral 5 denotes a stopper through which white powdered raw material for toy clay can be sealed.

To play with this egg, pour white powdered clay through plug 5 and break the egg at crack 2. Then, the water 4 becomes sol-like due to the white clay, and has a state similar to the white of an egg. After cracking, a sol-like white color appears around the gel-like yellow color, and the appearance is the same as when a real egg is cracked. After a while, the white color will turn into a gel and it will resemble a fried egg. At this time, the clay has become a sol like agar, and once it becomes a sol, even if you add the gelled clay raw material dissolved in water later, it will not mix with it and will maintain its original shape. Can be done.

In this way, the present invention is not limited to eggs, but also includes multicolored multilayered jelly, tobu, mochi, agar, cheese, pudding, ice cream,
It can be used as a simulated food such as kamaboko, boiled eggs, etc.

Describing yet another invention of simulated food for toys0 FIG. 2 shows an example applied to Siemens.

6 is noodles, which are made by dissolving the clay raw material in water, filling it in a syringe and extruding it, or pouring it into many long grooves, or pouring it flat and cutting it into thin pieces, then drying and hardening. It is. When the dried noodles 6 are soaked in water or hot water, they return to a gel state and become elastic, so they function like real ramen noodles.

The present invention is not limited to ramen, but can also be used as a simulated food for spaghetti, udon, soba noodles, soba, macaroni, wakame, konbu, and the like.

Note that the present invention can also be implemented in other forms.

(1) In the egg simulated food, a white powdered clay raw material may be put in place of water 4, and water may be injected from the stopper 5. That way you can keep the weight of the eggs light. Further, the outer shell 1 may be made without any cracks 2 and may be easily broken by being hit.

Further, the yellow color 6 may be made of synthetic resin, and only the white color may be made of clay.

(2) As shown in Fig. 3, if the gelled clay 7 is encapsulated in a thin synthetic resin membrane 8, it will maintain its gel state indefinitely, so it can be used as a simulated food such as grapes, sausage, ham, cheese, etc. I can do it.

(3) As shown in Fig. 4, when the gelled clay 7 is sealed in the bottle 9 together with water, once the clay 7 becomes a sol, it does not absorb water again and retains its original shape, and the gelled clay Z They do not stick together even if they are pressed together, so
It can be used as a simulated food such as jars of peaches, mandarin oranges, mitsume beans, and so on.

As mentioned above, the toy clay river raw material of the present invention becomes a sol immediately after adding water, so it can be used as a food imitation food.In this gel state, it does not absorb water, so it can be prevented from drying out (sealed). It can maintain its original shape by soaking it in water, etc.), it hardens by drying it, and it returns to its original gel state by soaking it in water, so it can be used as an instant food imitation food such as ramen noodles. , which can provide new play in the toy field.

All ingredients are harmless to the human body, so there is no problem even if children accidentally put it in their mouths. It goes without saying that fragrances and colorants must be harmless and approved by the Food Sanitation Act.

Furthermore, the simulated food of the present combined invention goes through three stages of sol, gel, and dry hardening, and once gelled, it exclusively utilizes the characteristics of not absorbing water or kneading with each other. It offers a new type of play with clay that has never been seen before.
