Variable vibrating candy holder

Abstract

Variable vibrating candy holder comprising a handle housing a battery power source with a switch and joined to the handle through a resilient coupling, there is a variable vibrating device, consisting in, but not limited to, a small motor inside a plastic case, onto whose shaft, pointing away from the user's face, is securely attached a rotary element provided with an eccentric mass which can be displaced to modify the amplitude of vibration, while in opposite direction, pointing toward the user's face there is a support to which is attached a replaceable sucker candy, in such a manner, that when the user turns on the power, the unbalanced rotary element vibrates transmitting an amusing vibration motion to the candy, and this toy can be combined with other miniature devices to provide diverse effects such as blinking colored lights, pleasant sounds and gentle scented breeze.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] (Not Applicable) STATEMENT REGARDING FED. SPONSORED R & D [0002] (Not Applicable) REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING [0003] (Not Applicable) FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0004] This invention relates to lollipops or sucker candies holders in general, and particularly to vibrating candy holders, being the candies replaceable and provided with holding sticks or configured as novel designs with special features. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0005] There are many patents issued to candy holders which impart motion to replaceable sucker candies, but very few include vibration as a feature, despite that it is a very practical and functional kind of motion to enjoy said type of candy. [0006] All other kind of motions, such as rotation, wobbling, linear displacement, etc., in a certain way, make more difficult for the user to consume the candy. Vibration, on the contrary, contributes to the enjoying of sucker candies by the consumer, and furthermore, add a...

Benefits of technology

[0018] Another novel feature of the present invention is that the vibration generated is variable and easily adjustable by the user, improving the amusement of the candy consumption.

[0021] Alternatively, this variable vibrating candy holder can be combined with pror art self illuminated candies, adding fun to the candy consumption.

[0022] In addition, the moving visible components of the variable vibrating candy holder can be also provided with L.E.D.'s which will produce pleasant light effects, controlled by appropriate electronic miniature devices.

Problems solved by technology

All other kind of motions, such as rotation, wobbling, linear displacement, etc., in a certain way, make more difficult for the user to consume the candy.

However, although some of them include vibration among their features, only a few have included the vibration effect alone as a main feature, and most of them teach a vibration movement combined with rotation or other kind of movements, such as wobbling, oscillation, etc., which are less practical and pleasant to consume the candy than vibration alone.

These features, though amusing, are not very practical for the user to consume the candy, jumping erratically from one side to the other in front of his / her face.

Therefore, in prior invention patents or applications, the vibration motion is originated inside the handle, so that it is sensed in all its intensity by the user's hand, what could be somehow unpleasant, and in none of them the vibration motion is easily variable.
