Definitions
- This invention is directed to a confection novelty including a sucker type candy which is designed to be eaten in conjunction with a second "liquid” candy dispensed upon the outer surface of the sucker while eating the sucker type candy.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,526,295 is directed to a cartridge for injecting a semi-pasty product
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,007,611 relates to a metering dispenser for flowable materials
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,676,406 is directed to a squirt cartridge for mixing and dispensing a two component mass
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,140,078 relates to a mixing and dispensing device
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,833,451 is directed to a caulking gun and cartridge
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,003,424 relates to a grease gun. All of the above patents make use of a dispensing device for some specific purpose.
- FIG. 1 is a full view of a novelty candy holding and dispensing device consisting of a combination of a liquid filling reservoir with a sucker type candy attached;
- FIG. 2 is a top view of the top cap and drip guard
- FIG. 3 is a cross section view of a more expensive novelty candy holding and dispensing device with a replaceable refill consisting of a liquid filling reservoir and a sucker type candy attached already loaded;
- FIG. 4 is a side view of a more expensive novelty candy holding and dispensing device without a replaceable refill
- FIG. 5 is a full view of a replaceable refill with a liquid filling reservoir and a sucker type candy attached;
- FIG. 6 is a top view of the slotted top ring with attached slotted drip guard.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a candy sucker with at least one channel that passes through the sucker.
- a hollow stick (26) is cured at one end to at least one channel of the sucker and extends downwardly to connect with a top cap (24) of a reservoir (18) which contains a candy flavored edible liquid which can be squeezed upwardly through the hollow stick and the at least one channel onto the outer surface of the sucker by pressure applied to the reservoir or pressure applied to the liquid in the reservoir.
- the reservoir or the stick is surrounded by a drip guard (20) upon which any excess liquid will drip from the sucker.
- the reservoir can be made of any suitable pliable material by which a user can squeeze the reservoir which applies a pressure on the liquid in the reservoir to force the liquid upwardly through the hollow stick and through the at least one channel onto the outer surface of the sucker.
- the reservoir can be made of a hard material as set forth later.
- the sucker in FIG. 1 is shown with a central channel from which oppositely disposed channels (30) extend to the outer surface of the sucker.
- the hollow stick and channel in which the hollow stick is secured has been shown by spaced dotted lines.
- the end of the hollow stick has been shown in the drawing by a line transverse to the channel. From the end of the hollow stick, there is shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4 additional channels which are formed in the candy sucker.
- the hollow stick need not extend to a vicinity of the center as shown and can extend into the sucker a greater or lesser distance.
- the sucker is shown in FIG. 1 with the hollow stick secured to the top of the reservoir. When using a pliable reservoir material the hollow stick could extend downwardly to near the bottom of the reservoir and the liquid forced upwardly through the hollow stick onto the outer surface of the sucker.
- the reservoir or cylinder (56) is made of a hard material such as plastic or any other suitable material, it is necessary to provide some means for holding the reservoir and for forcing the liquid up through the hollow stick and the candy sucker.
- the bottom end of the hollow stick, or the end not connected to the candy sucker will extend just into the top cap (60) as shown in FIGS. 3-6.
- the upper end of the cylinder is closed by the top cap (60) and the bottom end is open and enclosed by a piston or plunger (54) which is provided with an edge seal (53).
- the cylinder (56) is placed in a holder formed by a housing formed of any suitable material such as hard plastic as shown in FIGS. 3-6.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the reservoir held in the housing ready for forcing the candy liquid from the reservoir onto the candy sucker.
- FIGS. 4 and 6 illustrate the candy holding and dispensing device.
- the plastic housing (41) has an open access on one side and a reservoir ejection port opening (43) on the opposite side used for loading and unloading a refill shown in FIG. 5.
- the plastic housing (41) has a threaded base (35).
- Side guards (45) are attached to the plastic housing (41) on each side of the open access to secure the refill (FIG. 5) within the plastic housing (41).
- a slotted top ring (47) and a slotted drip guard (49) are attached to the top of the plastic housing (41) both having an opened side located directly above the open access in the plastic housing (41) to accommodate the hollow stick or tubular member (26).
- FIG. 5 illustrates the reservoir or plastic cylinder (56) refill containing the liquid filling reservoir (19), the tubular member (26) and attached sucker type candy (28) with apertures (30) shown in the candy sucker.
- the plastic cylinder (56) has a base cap (51) on the bottom and a top cap (60) on the opposite end.
- the plunger (54) with the attached plunger seal (53) is located directly above the base cap (51) within the plastic cylinder (56) which prevents any leakage from the bottom.
- the plastic cylinder (56) is the reservoir for the liquid filling (19) and is provided with a breakthrough seal (58) located at the top, and below the hollow stick or tubular member.
- the tubular member (26) is attached to the top cap (60) at one end and has a sucker type candy (28) attached to the opposite end.
- the sucker type candy is provided with two apertures as shown.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a front view of a fully assembled candy holding and dispensing device.
- the threaded shaft (10) pushes the plunger (54) upwardly in the cylinder (56) to apply pressure to the liquid filling (19) which ruptures the breakthrough seal (58) allowing the liquid filling (19) to pus through the tubular member (26) and through the channels (30) of the sucker type candy (28) onto the outer surface of the sucker type candy.
- the holding device and candy may be of any shape or size; however, it is desired that the sucker type candy (28) be spherical in shape such as a well known sucker.
- the sucker type candy (28) may have any number of channels (30) in any pattern.
- the candy is covered by a protective wrapper before use to provide a sanitary sucker.
- the edible liquid filling (19) may be of any flavor or consistency conducive to the proper operation of the invention.
- a variety of means may be used for forcing the liquid filling (19) from the reservoir through the tubular member (25) as well as the channels (30) of the sucker type candy (28) onto the outer surface of the sucker type candy (28) i.e. manual, mechanical or electrical.
- the holding device housing may be made of any durable material which may be formed or molded into any desired shape. Since the novelty device is to be used by children, the device should have no sharp features. It should be of a so called non-breakage material and non-toxic.
