In detail, the light transmittance of the lid portion 20 may be higher than the light transmittance of the base portion 10. In other words, the cover portion 20 may include a transparent material.

Although not illustrated in the cover portion 20, a candy may be disposed. In the present invention, the candy may not be limited to candy. For example, in the present invention, the candy may be various, such as candy, cotton candy, jelly, and cookies. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the candy will be described as a candy.

In order to fully utilize the light emitted by the light emitting unit 30, it may be desirable for the candy to sufficiently transmit light.

The lid portion 20 is likely to touch the user's mouth while the user ingests the candy.

Accordingly, the lid portion 20 may not only have a high light transmittance, but it may be desirable that the toxicity is sufficiently low or non-toxic. Hereinafter, a case in which toxicity is sufficiently low or non-toxic enough to not harm the human body will be referred to as non-toxicity.

In order for the cover portion 20 to be transparent (high light transmittance) and non-toxic, the cover portion 20 may preferably include a polycarbonate material.

In this case, the cover portion 20 may be more transparent (higher light transmittance) than the base portion 10, but may have non-toxicity.

The light emitting unit 30 may be disposed on the base unit 10. In detail, the base portion 10 may accommodate at least the body portion 32 of the light emitting portion 30. For example, one side of the base portion 10 is open (Opne), the body portion 32 may be inserted into one side of the open base portion (10).

The base portion 10 may be colored in a predetermined color to cover the body portion 32. Accordingly, the light transmittance of the base portion 10 may be lower than the light transmittance of the cover portion 20.

In addition, the other side of the base portion 10 may be closed (Closed). A grip portion 14 may be disposed on the other side of the base portion 10. The shape of the handle portion 14 can be variously changed. For example, it is possible that the handle portion 14 has a ring shape.

Referring to FIG. 3, a driver (DR) included in the body portion 32 of the light emitting unit 30 may include a control unit 32a and a battery unit 32b. In addition, the driving unit DR may further include a voice output unit 32c.

The battery unit 32b may supply power required for driving the light emitting rod 1.

When driving, the voice output unit 32c may output a voice according to the voice effect so that the user can listen. The audio output unit 32c may also be omitted to reduce the size of the light emitting rod 1.

The control unit 32a can control the overall operation of the light emitting rod 1. For example, the control unit 32a may control on / off of the light source unit 31 of the light emitting unit 30, and may control the light emission pattern of the light source unit 31.

To this end, the control unit 32a may include a color adjustment unit 32a1 and a mode selection unit 32a2.

The color adjustment unit 32a1 may adjust the color of light emitted from the light source unit 31 when driving. For example, the color adjustment unit 32a1 may control the light source unit 31 to emit red light, green light, and / or blue light.

The mode selector 32a2 can control the light emission mode of the light source unit 31.

For example, the user selects the switching unit 33 at time t1 to activate (On) the light emitting rod 1, and then selects the switching unit 33 at time t2 to deactivate the light emitting rod 1 (Off) Let's assume the case.

In this case, as in the case of (A) of FIG. 4, the light source unit 31 may be turned on at a time t1, and turned off at a time t2 after the time t1. This may be the case when the light source unit 31 is composed of one light source or includes a plurality of light sources that emit a single color.

Alternatively, as in the case of (B) of FIG. 4, the light source unit 31 may be repeatedly turned on and off between the time t1 and time t2. In this case, the light source unit 31 may repeat flashing during the activation period.

Alternatively, as in the case of FIG. 4C, the red light source R may be turned on at a time t1. The red light source R may be turned off and the green light source G may be turned on at a time t3 after the time t1. The green light source G may be turned off and the blue light source B may be turned on at a time t4 after the time t3.

In this case, the light source unit 31 may sequentially emit red light, green light, and blue light between time t1 and time t2.

In the case of FIG. 4C, the light source unit 31 includes a red light source R emitting red light, a green light source G emitting green light, and a blue light source B emitting blue light (B). Can be.

The mode selector 32a2 may drive the light source unit 31 in any one of (A), (B), and (C) of FIG. 4.

Alternatively, the mode selector 32a2 may be capable of driving the light source unit 31 by combining at least two of (A), (B), and (C) of FIG. 4. For example, when the user activates the light emitting rod 1 at the time t1, first, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), red light, green light and / or blue light are emitted during the first period, and during the second period after the first period The red light source R, the green light source G and / or the blue light source B may be repeatedly flashed, and red light, green light, and blue light may be sequentially emitted during the third period after the second period.

The mode described in FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a mode capable of driving the light source unit 31, and the present invention may not be limited thereto. For example, when the light emitting rod 1 is activated, the red light R gradually increases, and then the red light R gradually decreases, and the green light G gradually increases, and then the green light G gradually increases. As it weakens, it may be possible that the blue light B gradually increases.

An example of a state in which the base portion 10, the lid portion 20, and the light emitting portion 30 are combined is disclosed in FIG. 5A.

When the user presses the switching unit 33 of the light emitting rod 1, the light source unit 31 may emit light to obtain a visual effect.

An example of a state in which the candy 40 is disposed at the end of the lid portion 20 of the light emitting rod 1 is disclosed in Fig. 5B.

A candy 40 coupled to the light emitting rod 1 may be referred to as a light emitting candy (LC).

When the user ingests the candy 40 of the light emitting candy LC according to the present invention, the light source unit 31 may be turned on by pressing the switching unit 33.

Then, the visual effect that the candy 40 appears to emit light can be obtained.

To this end, the candy 40 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the uneven portion 23 and / or the light source portion 31.

In addition, the light source unit 31 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the uneven portion 23. In this case, the visual effect that the candy 40 appears to shine brighter can be further enhanced.

6 to 13 are views for explaining the light emitting rod according to the present invention in more detail. Hereinafter, description of the above-described portion may be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 6, the body portion 32 of the light emitting portion 30 may be accommodated inside the base portion 10. In Figure 6, the body portion 32 is indicated by a dotted line.

Here, the gap d2 between the second hole H2 into which the fastening portion FM is inserted and the fourth portion 12 of the base portion 10 is the second hole H2 and the third portion 11 It may be greater than the distance (d1) between the ends of the opening (EP1).

In this case, it is possible to secure a sufficient space in which the body portion 32 can be disposed in the base portion 10. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent the fastening portion FM from invading the space where the body portion 32 is to be inserted.

Referring to FIG. 7, the cover part 20 may further include a fifth part 24.

The fifth part 24 may be located in the boundary region between the first part 21 and the second part 22.

It is possible that the diameter d6 of the fifth portion 24 is larger than the maximum diameter d6 of the first portion 21 and the maximum diameter d7 of the second portion 22.

In addition, the diameter d6 of the fifth portion 24 may be larger than the diameter d5 of the fourth portion 12 of the base portion 10 of FIG. 6.

In this case, even if the candy disposed on the cover portion 20 melts and flows down, it can be suppressed that the melted candy is put on the user's hand.

The distance d3 between the first hole H1 corresponding to the second hole H2 and the fifth part 24 of the lid part 20 is an opening of the first hole H1 and the first part 21 It may be smaller than the distance (d4) between the end of (EP2).

The cover portion 20 is a portion that the user's teeth can touch while the user ingests the candy 40. Accordingly, it may be desirable for the cover portion 20 to have some elasticity and elasticity.

To this end, it is possible to make the wall thickness of the cover portion 20 relatively thin. Specifically, the wall thickness (Th1) of a predetermined portion of the second portion 22 of the cover portion 20 of FIG. 8A is that of the first portion 21 of FIG. 8B. It may be desirable to be thinner than the wall thickness Th2 of a given portion. In this case, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the tooth from being damaged while the user ingests the candy 40.

Assuming that the wall thickness Th2 of the first portion 21 is sufficiently thin, the wall thickness Th1 of the second portion 22 may be approximately equal to the wall thickness Th2 of the first portion 21. You can.

Here, the wall thickness may mean an average wall thickness. For example, the wall thickness Th2 of the first portion 21 may mean the average wall thickness of the first portion 21.

Alternatively, the wall thickness may also mean a wall thickness of a specific portion.

Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the wall thickness may mean an average wall thickness.

Referring to FIG. 9, the second part 22 of the cover part 20 may include a first reduction part (22a) and a second reduction part (22b).

The first reduction portion 22a extends from the fifth portion 24, and the diameter may be reduced at a first reduction rate in a direction away from the first portion 21.

The second reduction portion 22b is connected to the first reduction portion 22a, and may be reduced to a second reduction ratio smaller than the first reduction ratio in a direction away from the first reduction portion 22a.

In this case, while preventing the total length of the lid portion 20 from being excessively long, the diameter of the second reduction portion 22b can be sufficiently reduced.

The uneven portion 23 may be located at the end of the second reduction portion 22b. From another point of view, the candy 40 may be located at the end of the second reduction portion 22b.

The first reduction portion 22a is connected to the fifth portion 24 and may be relatively thick to ensure sufficient strength.

For example, the wall thickness Th3 of a predetermined portion of the first reduction portion 22a of FIG. 10A is the wall thickness Th4 of a predetermined portion of the second reduction portion 22b of FIG. 10B. ).

Referring to FIG. 11, the light source unit 31 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the uneven portion 23. In this case, light emitted from the light source unit 31 may be scattered while passing through the uneven portion 23 to further improve the visual effect.

In order to correspond to the light source portion 31 to the uneven portion 23, the width G1 of the inner space of the cover portion 20 in the uneven portion 23 may be larger than the width of the light source portion 31.

Here, as well as the outer surface (Outer Surface, OSF) of the cover portion 20 at a position corresponding to the uneven portion 23, the inner surface (Inner Surface, ISF) can be formed uneven.

Here, although the shape of the unevenness of the uneven portion 23 is described as a wave type, the present invention may not be limited thereto. For example, in the present invention, the unevenness of the uneven portion 23 may be various, such as not only a wavy type, but also a tooth type, an embossing type.

Alternatively, irregularities may be formed on the outer surface OSF of the lid portion 20 at a position corresponding to the irregularities 23, and irregularities may not be formed on the inner surface ISF of the lid portion 20.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12, a first inner space (ISP1) and a second inner space (first inner space, ISP1) are disposed inside the cover portion 20 at a position corresponding to the uneven portion 23 of the cover portion 20. Second Inner Space, ISP2) can be prepared.

The light source 31 may include a head part (31H) for generating light, and a bottom part (31B) for electrically connecting the leg part 31a and the head part 31H.

The width G4 of the head portion 31H may be smaller than the width G5 of the base portion 31B.

Here, the head portion 31H may correspond to the second inner space ISP2 of the cover portion 20, and the support portion 31B may correspond to the first inner space ISP1.

The width G2 of the second internal space ISP2 may be greater than the width G4 of the head portion 31H. Accordingly, the head portion 31H of the light source portion 31 may be inserted into the second internal space ISP2.

When the head portion 31H is inserted into the second internal space ISP2, the light source portion 31 may naturally correspond to the uneven portion 23.

The width G3 of the first internal space ISP1 may be greater than the width G5 of the support portion 31B.

In addition, the width G5 of the support portion 31B may be larger than the width G2 of the second internal space ISP2.

A portion having a width smaller than the width of the light source unit 31 may be provided inside the cover unit 20.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 13, a third inner space (ISP3) may be provided at the end of the second inner space (ISP2) of the cover portion 20.

The maximum width G6 of the third internal space ISP3 may be smaller than the width G2 of the second internal space ISP2. Preferably, the maximum width G6 of the third internal space ISP3 may be smaller than the width G4 of the head portion 31H of the light source portion 31.

The light emitted from the light source unit 31 may be scattered by the third internal space ISP3 to further improve the visual effect.

In order to further improve the visual effect, the third interior space ISP3 may include a portion whose width gradually decreases.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, a light reflection portion for reflecting light emitted from the light source portion 31 may be further disposed inside the cover portion 20. For this, referring to the attached Figures 14 to 16 will be described below.

14 to 16 are views for explaining the light reflection portion. Hereinafter, description of the above-described portion may be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 14 (A), when the cross section (A1-A2 cross section) of the cover 20 cut in the width direction (DRW), as shown in FIG. 14 (B), the cover 20 At least one light reflection portion 22P protruding toward the center may be formed on the inner surface of the. In FIG. 14, DRL may be referred to as a longitudinal direction (DRL) crossing the width direction.

The light reflection portion 22P may extend in the longitudinal direction DRL inside the lid portion 20, as in the case of FIG. 15.

The light reflection portion 22P can more effectively reflect / diffuse the light emitted from the light source portion 31 in the longitudinal direction DRL. In this case, it is possible to further improve the visual effect of making the candy 40 disposed on the cover part 20 stand out more.

The light reflection portion 22P may be embossed, and a plurality of light reflection portions 20 may be formed on the inner surface of the cover portion 20.

Considering the visual effect of making the candy 40 stand out, the light reflection portion 22P may be formed at a position corresponding to the candy 40.

For example, as in the case of FIG. 16, a light reflection portion 22P is formed in a reflection area (RA) of the cover portion 20, and a non reflection area of the cover portion 20 is formed. NRA), the light reflection portion 22P may not be formed.

Here, the non-reflective area NRA may not mean that no light reflection occurs in the corresponding area. The non-reflective region NRA may mean that the light reflective portion 22P is not formed in the corresponding region.

At least part of the reflective area RA may overlap the candy 40.

The non-reflective area NRA may not overlap the candy 40.

As described above, by forming the light reflection portion 22P in a portion overlapping the candy 40 of the cover portion 20, the visual effect of making the candy 40 stand out can be further improved.

The refill candy RC may be fitted to the light emitting rod 1. In detail, the cover portion 20 of the light emitting rod 1 may be fitted into the open side of the refill tube 2 of the refill candy RC.

In order to fully utilize the light emitted by the light emitting part 30 of the light emitting rod 1, the refill tube 2 may preferably transmit light sufficiently.

In addition, the refill tube 2 is likely to touch the user's mouth while the user ingests candy.

Accordingly, the refill tube 2 may not only have a high light transmittance, but it may be desirable that the toxicity is sufficiently low or non-toxic.

In order for the refill tube 2 to be transparent (high light transmittance) and non-toxic, the refill tube 2 may preferably include a polycarbonate material.

In this case, the refill tube 2 may have more transparency (higher light transmittance) than the base portion 10, and may have non-toxicity.

The refill tube 2 may cover at least a portion of the cover portion 20 in a state fitted to the light emitting rod 1. For example, the refill tube 2 may cover at least a portion of the second reduction portion 22b of the cover portion 20.

Referring to FIG. 21, the refill tube 2 may include a third reduction part (100) and a fourth reduction part (Fourth Reduction Part) 110.

One end of the third reduction portion 100 may be open to insert the light emitting rod 1.

Specifically, the wall thickness Th5 of the fourth reduction portion 110 of the refill tube 2 in FIG. 22A is that of the first portion 21 of the cover portion 20 in FIG. 22B. It may be desirable to be thinner than the wall thickness Th2. In this case, it is possible to sufficiently prevent the tooth from being damaged while the user ingests the candy 40.

Assuming that the wall thickness Th2 of the first portion 21 is sufficiently thin, the wall thickness Th5 of the fourth reduction portion 110 is also approximately equal to the wall thickness Th2 of the first portion 21. It may be possible.

Referring to FIG. 23, the light source unit 31 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the second uneven portion 120 of the refill tube 2. In this case, even when the refill tube 2 is applied, it is possible to improve the visual effect of making the candy 40 stand out.

In this case, the first concavo-convex portion 23 is also formed on the cover portion 20, and the first concavo-convex portion 23 may be able to correspond to the second concavo-convex portion 120 of the refill tube 2.

In order to correspond the first uneven portion 23 to the second uneven portion 120, the width G9 of the inner space of the refill tube 2 in the second uneven portion 120 is the first uneven portion 23 It may be larger than the width (G10) of the cover portion 20.

Here, as well as the outer surface (OSF) of the refill tube 2 at the position corresponding to the second uneven portion 120, the inner surface (ISF) of the unevenness can be formed.

Alternatively, unevenness may be formed on the outer surface OSF of the refill tube 2 and unevenness may be formed on the inner surface ISF at a position corresponding to the second uneven part 120.

For example, as shown in FIG. 24, the unevenness is not formed inside the refill tube 2 at a position corresponding to the second uneven part 120 of the refill tube 2, and the outer surface ( OSF) may not have irregularities.

Even in this case, the width G11 of the inner space of the refill tube 2 in the second uneven portion 120 is greater than the width G12 of the cover portion 20 at a position corresponding to the second uneven portion 120. It can be big.

Referring to FIG. 25, the first uneven portion 23 of the cover portion 20 of the light emitting rod 1 may be formed in a spiral shape. In this case, the first uneven part 23 may be referred to as a screw type unevenness.

Corresponding protrusions 200 may be formed. Here, the depression 210 may correspond to the first connection, and the protrusion 200 may correspond to the second connection.

In this case, the coupling force between the light emitting rod 1 and the refill tube 2 may be improved by fitting the protrusion 200 into the depression 210.

Alternatively, a protrusion may be formed on the outer surface OSF of the cover portion 20, and a depression corresponding to the protrusion may be formed on the inner surface ISF of the refill tube 2.

Considering that the wall thickness Th5 of the refill tube 2 is sufficiently thin, the recess 210 is formed on the outer surface OSF of the lid part 20, as in the case of FIG. 26, and the refill tube ( It may be preferable that the protrusion 200 is formed on the inner surface ISF of 2).

Referring to FIG. 27, the refill tube 2 is disposed on the fourth reduction portion 110 and may further include a protrusion 140 protruding in the width direction DRW.
