Description

PORTE-BOUGIE PERSONNAGE POUR GATEAU D 'ANNIVERSAIRE PERSONAL CANDLE HOLDER FOR BIRTHDAY CAKE
La présente invention a pour objet un porte-bougie personnage pour gâteau d' anniversaire.The present invention relates to a character candle holder for birthday cake.
Le secteur technique de l ' invention est le domaine de la réalisation des dispositifs pour placer une bougie sur une pâtisserie et la décorer. On connaît en effet différents dispositifs permettant la fixation de bougies sur des pâtisseries pour célébrer en particulier les anniversaires ou les fêtes : le dispositif le plus connu est un porte-bougie essentiellement réalisé en matière plastique et comportant un appendice pointu situé à l ' opposé de la partie supportant la bougie, lequel appendice est destiné à être planté dans la pâtisserie afin de maintenir la bougie en position verticale.The technical sector of the invention is the field of production of devices for placing a candle on a pastry and decorating it. Various devices are known for fixing candles to pastries in particular for celebrating birthdays or holidays: the best known device is a candle holder essentially made of plastic and comprising a pointed appendage located opposite the part supporting the candle, which appendage is intended to be planted in the pastry in order to maintain the candle in an upright position.
Pour améliorer ce type de porte-bougie, en particulier pour garantir une meilleure stabilité et éviter que la cire de la bougie puisse s' écouler sur la pâtisserie, différents autres dispositifs ont été développés, tel qu' en particulier celui décrit dans la demande de brevet FR2656207 publiée le 28 juin 1991 et décrivant un dispositif pour améliorer la fixation des bougies sur la pâtisserie grâce à un support en forme de couronne ou de surface pleine ayant un contour décoratif ; ce support, recouvrant une grande partie de la surface de la pâtisserie, est apte à supporter les bougies et les porte-bougies ainsi que tous motifs de décoration par aimantation ou autres moyens mécaniques. Un tel dispositif est cependant assez encombrant, ne peut être utilisé que sur des pâtisseries dont la quasi totalité de la surface supérieure est dégagée et plane, et nécessite la manipulation de plusieurs objets déposés sur ledit support.To improve this type of candle holder, in particular to guarantee better stability and prevent the candle wax from spilling onto the pastry, various other devices have been developed, such as in particular that described in the application for patent FR2656207 published on June 28, 1991 and describing a device for improving the fixing of candles on pastry thanks to a support in the shape of a crown or of solid surface having a decorative outline; this support, covering a large part of the surface of the pastry, is capable of supporting the candles and the candle holders as well as all decoration patterns by magnetization or other mechanical means. Such a device is however quite bulky, can only be used on pastries in which almost all of the upper surface is clear and flat, and requires the manipulation of several objects deposited on said support.
L' objectif de la présente invention est de pouvoir réaliser un dispositif pour placer des bougies sur une pâtisserie de type anniversaire qui, comme dans l ' exemple de la demande de brevet précédente, ne nécessite pas de piquer la pâtisserie proprement dite, ne marque pas la surface de celle-ci et soit de dimensions réduites, formant un ensemble assez compact, tout en assurant une stabilité au support de bougie avec des inclinaisons pouvant être assez importantes, lequel dispositif devant de plus constituer un élément décoratif supplémentaire, d'une part dans son utilisation sur une pâtisserie, et d' autre part après que ladite pâtisserie a été consommée en pouvant être posée sur un meuble tel que dans une chambre d'enfant, et constituer même un objet de collection, et ainsi avoir un second usage, tout en étant d'une réalisation conforme aux normes alimentaires.The objective of the present invention is to be able to produce a device for placing candles on a birthday-type pastry which, as in the example of the previous patent application, does not no need to prick the pastry itself, does not mark the surface thereof and is reduced in size, forming a fairly compact assembly, while ensuring stability to the candle holder with inclinations which can be quite large, which device in front further constitute an additional decorative element, on the one hand in its use on a pastry, and on the other hand after said pastry has been consumed by being able to be placed on a piece of furniture such as in a child's room, and even constitute an object of collection, and thus have a second use, while being of a realization in conformity with food standards.
Ces objectifs sont atteints grâce à un dispositif pour placer une bougie sur une pâtisserie et la décorer, et comportant un support ayant une partie creuse apte à recevoir la bougie, lequel dispositif comprend un sujet décoratif à l'effigie d'un personnage, et une embase solidaire dudit support et dudit sujet, laquelle embase ayant une surface d' appui sur ladite pâtisserie telle que sa dimension la plus grande est au plus de 5 cm et la pression p d' appui transmise à la pâtisserie est inférieure à 8 grammes par cm2, et l' ensemble du dispositif formant une seule pièce ayant une hauteur totale H comprise entre 2 et 7 cm et l ' embase au moins étant réalisée en matériau à usage alimentaire non comestible et de préférence rigide, tel que porcelaine, céramique, verre, plastique alimentaire.These objectives are achieved by a device for placing a candle on a pastry and decorating it, and comprising a support having a hollow part capable of receiving the candle, which device comprises a decorative subject bearing the image of a character, and a base secured to said support and said subject, which base having a support surface on said pastry such that its largest dimension is at most 5 cm and the pressure pd of support transmitted to the pastry is less than 8 grams per cm 2 , and the whole of the device forming a single piece having a total height H of between 2 and 7 cm and the base at least being made of non-edible and preferably rigid material for food use, such as porcelain, ceramic, glass, food plastic.
Dans un mode préférentiel de réalisation, ladite partie creuse est apte à recevoir un instrument d'écriture tel qu'un stylo ou un crayon ce qui permet d'utiliser un tel dispositif suivant l' invention suivant un autre usage que celui de porte-bougie de décoration. La stabilité et le multiusage sont obtenus avec un matériau constituant ledit dispositif suffisamment dense, tel que de la céramique ou de la porcelaine alimentaire, afin que le poids et le centre de gravité de l ' ensemble du dispositif équipé même dudit stylo ou de ladite bougie soit telle que ceux-ci restent stables, même avec une inclinaison pouvant aller au moins jusqu' à 20° dans toutes directions et même 40° pour le dispositif seul. De préférence, le support de bougie est situé en arrière d'un plan définissant la face avant du sujet décoratif, et sa hauteur est inférieure à la hauteur dudit sujet décoratif, de telle sorte que celui-ci cache entièrement ledit support de bougie lorsqu'on regarde la face dudit sujet.In a preferred embodiment, said hollow part is capable of receiving a writing instrument such as a pen or pencil, which makes it possible to use such a device according to the invention according to another use than that of candle holder decoration. Stability and multi-use are obtained with a material constituting said device sufficiently dense, such as ceramic or food porcelain, so that the weight and the center of gravity of the whole of the device even equipped with said pen or said candle either such that they remain stable, even with an inclination which can go at least up to 20 ° in all directions and even 40 ° for the device alone. Preferably, the candle holder is located behind a plane defining the front face of the decorative subject, and its height is less than the height of said decorative subject, so that the latter completely hides said candle holder when we look at the face of said subject.
Si ledit sujet décoratif est un personnage de bandes dessinées ou de dessins animés, l'enfant dont l'anniversaire ou la fête aura été souhaité par un gâteau sur lequel ledit dispositif suivant l'invention aura été disposée, pourra le garder et en faire collection avec d'autres personnages qu'il pourra ainsi récupérer à chaque occasion.If said decorative subject is a character from comics or cartoons, the child whose birthday or party has been desired by a cake on which said device according to the invention has been placed, may keep it and collect it with other characters that he can recover on each occasion.
Le résultat est un nouveau dispositif support de bougie correspondant à l'objectif recherché. On pourrait citer d'autres avantages à la présente invention mais ceux cités ci-dessus en montrent déjà suffisamment pour en prouver la nouveauté et l'intérêt. La description et les figures ci-jointes représentent un exemple de réalisation de l'invention mais n'ont aucun caractère limitatif : d'autres réalisations sont possibles dans le cadre de la portée et de l'étendue de cette invention, en particulier en changeant le sujet décoratif et la forme de l'embase. La figure 1 est une vue latérale schématique d'un dispositif suivant l'invention.The result is a new candle holder device corresponding to the desired objective. We could cite other advantages to the present invention, but those mentioned above already show enough to prove the novelty and the interest. The description and the attached figures represent an exemplary embodiment of the invention but are in no way limiting: other embodiments are possible within the scope and scope of this invention, in particular by changing the decorative subject and the shape of the base. Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a device according to the invention.
