[0009] Hereinafter, a confectionery product according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a confectionery product 1 according to this embodiment.

[0010] The confectionery 1 is a gummy candy. As shown in Fig. 1, the confectionery 1 is configured as a confectionery set 100 with a container 101 that contains the confectionery 1. When sold, the confectionery 1 is provided in a state where it is contained in the container 101 shown in the drawing, and is further contained in a decorative packaging bag that does not allow the state shown in Fig. 1 to be seen.

[0011] The gummy candy referred to here can be produced using predetermined amounts of, for example, starch syrup, sugar, gelatin, concentrated fruit juice, edible oils and fats, sorbitol, acidulants, thickening agents, plant-derived colorants, and flavorings.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1, the confectionery 1 has a starting point 10, which is the portion where the confectionery 1 starts to be taken out of the storage section 101, and an end point 30, which is the end portion where the confectionery 1 is taken out. The confectionery 1 also has a path section 20 that is formed to be relatively long between the starting point 10 and the end point 30. The path section 20 further includes a branching section 20a that forms a plurality of paths. The path section 20 has a first path section 21 that extends from the branching section 20a toward the end point 30, and a second path section 22 that extends from the branching section 20a toward the end point 30 and is shorter than the first path section 21. Two end points 30 are provided. The path section 20 is configured to have the same width in a plan view, and is configured to be non-linear with multiple bends.

[0013] The end point section 30 includes a character section C, and is presented as if multiple characters are competing in a sports day. In addition, in the two end point sections 30, for example, a "turtle" character is provided on the right side and a "rabbit" character is provided on the left side, and each includes a different character section C. In addition, a character section C is provided near the branching section 20a.

[0014] The end point 30 of the confectionery 1 is configured to have a larger surface area than the start point 10, emphasizing a character reaching the finish line in a sports day race. The path portion 20 is also configured to have a width (L20) in a plan view that is smaller than the maximum width (L10) of the start point 10 and the maximum width (L30) of the end point 30.

[0015] In addition, the path section 20 is formed in a color different from the colors of the starting point section 10 and the ending point section 30, and the path section 20 has a different taste from the taste of the starting point section 10 and the ending point section 30. In addition, since the materials are different in the different colored parts, the path section 20 has an aroma different from the aroma of the starting point section 10 and the ending point section 30. Furthermore, the path section 20, the starting point section 10, and the ending point section 30 are configured such that the colors are mixed at the connection section 20b. As a result, the tastes and aromas are mixed at the connection section 20b.

[0016] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a portion taken along line AA in FIG. As shown in Fig. 2, in the gummy candy, the drawing of the character in the character section C may be a color-coded drawing, but in this embodiment, it is formed by uneven sections Cb. For example, the character section C in the starting point section 10 and the ending point section 30 has an upper surface 1a that is flat, while an uneven section Cb is provided on the deepest surface 102g of the bottom section 102 of the containing section 101 so that the lower surface 1b can form a three-dimensional surface (uneven surface) having a bulge. The uneven section Cb is formed to allow the character section C to be drawn in a distinctive way.

[0017] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, in a cross section of the pathway section 20, one surface, the upper surface 1a, is flat, and the other surface, the lower surface 1b, is curved (see the first pathway section 21 and the second pathway section 22 in FIG. 3).

[0018] Here, the gummy candy snack 1 made of the material as described above is configured so that, when stored in the storage section 101, it can be attached to the deepest surface 102g of the bottom 102 of the storage section 101 at all of the starting point 10, the ending point 30, and the path section 20. Also, all of the starting point 10, the ending point 30, and the path section 20 are configured to be expandable and contractible. In this way, since the snack 1 is configured to be attached to the deepest surface 102g of the storage section 101, the operation of removing the snack 1 from the storage section 101 becomes difficult as described below, which can be enjoyed.

[0019] On the other hand, the upper surface 1a of the confectionery 1 is configured not to adhere to the bottom 102 of the storage section 101 and the film lid 103. For example, the upper surface 1a of the confectionery 1 is stored within the start point section 10, the end point section 30, and the deepest surface 102g of the path section 20 so as to be lower than the shallowest upper bottom surface 102a of the bottom section 102.

[0020] The housing portion 101 has an outer periphery 105 rising from the upper bottom surface 102a. The film cover 103 is welded to the upper end surface of the outer periphery 105, and is attached at a position above and spaced apart from the upper bottom surface 102a so as to be out of contact with the upper surface 1a.

[0021] In addition, the bottom 102 of the storage section 101 is provided with a protrusion 104 (see FIG. 1) at least near the end point 30, protruding higher than the upper bottom surface 102a and approaching the film lid 103. This protrusion 104 is provided, for example, around the end point 30 (see FIG. 1). This makes it difficult for the film lid 103 to come into contact with the upper surface 1a.

[0022] FIG. 4(a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD of the confectionery shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view for explaining the operation of peeling off the film lid. When the film lid 103 contains the confectionery 1, it is welded to the entire circumference of the outer periphery 105 of the containing section 101. The containing section 101 is provided with a film peeling section 108 at its outer periphery where the film lid 103 starts to be peeled off when peeling it off. This film peeling section 108 is provided at one corner of the containing section 101, which is rectangular in plan view (see FIG. 1). The film peeling section 108 is also formed with a pair of notches 108b at its base end side, which is configured to implicitly indicate that this is the part where the film lid 103 is to be peeled off. The film lid 103 is welded only at the outer periphery 105 at the base end side, and is not welded elsewhere, and a facing section 103a facing the film peeling section 108 is provided.

[0023] The film peeling portion 108 is formed with the cutout 108b, which makes it easy for the film peeling portion 108 to deform. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 4(a), the film peeling portion 108 is provided at an inclination (angle θ) in a direction away from the film lid 103 (downward in the figure).

[0024] With this configuration, when opening the storage section 101, as shown in FIG. 4(b), for example, the film cover 103 can be peeled off by pinching the facing portion 103a, which is the end of the film, with one finger and pinching the film peeling portion 108 with the other finger.

[0025] The operation for removing the confectionery 1 will now be described. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the candy 1 in an initial state of play. After removing the film lid 103, the confectionery 1 is taken out from the starting point 10 where a start mark 106 is added, as shown in Fig. 5. This starting point 10 has a middle bottom surface 102b configured to be lower than an upper bottom surface 102a (see Fig. 2), making it easy to approach the starting point 10 with fingertips.

[0026] Then, the starting point 10, the end point 30, and the path 20 are in a contracted state, and the confectionery 1 stored in the storage section 101 is lifted up by pinching the starting point 10 with the fingertips. This allows the confectionery 1 to be removed while stretching. When removing the confectionery 1, it is separated from the storage section 101 in the order of the starting point 10, the path 20, and the end point 30. Since the confectionery 1 is held by the large bulging underside 1b and in contact with the storage section 101, a large adhesive force is generated. Also, the path 20 is configured to be narrower than the starting point 10 and the end point 30, so that the degree of stretching can be set to be large.

[0027] FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an example of a first state 1F in which the confectionery 1 is broken, in a method of playing with the confectionery 1. As shown in FIG. The confectionery 1 is configured so that it can be broken at any point by being stretched beyond a certain level. When separating it from the storage section 101, it can break at any of the starting point section 10, the ending point section 30, and the path section 20, but for example, in the case shown in FIG. 6, it breaks at the part 22c just before the branching section 20a. This is because at the branching section 20a, the two paths, the first path section 21 and the second path section 22, are connected, so the adhesive force is stronger than that of the path section 20 just before it. Also, the peeling directions are different in the two paths, making it difficult to peel.

[0028] FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a second state 2F in which the confectionery 1 is not broken in playing with the confectionery 1. As shown in FIG. 7 shows the second state 2F where the lifting was successfully completed without any breakage. In this case, the branching section 20a is successfully cleared and peeling proceeds, but at this time, the second path section 22, which has a shorter route, is able to peel off the end point section 30 a little earlier. By making the character that achieves this earlier peeling a "turtle" and the character that achieves the later peeling a "rabbit," for example, it is possible to create a race between the turtle and the rabbit. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, when the starting point 10, the ending point 30, and the path section 20 are extended, the length (L1) from the starting point 10 to the ending point 30 is longer than the length (L101) of the long side of the storage section 101.

[0029] FIG. 8 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the confectionery product 1 of the present invention. 8, one end point section 30 is provided, and the end point section 30 includes one character section C. In this case, the first path section 21 and the second path section 22 branched off from the branch section 20a are configured to reach the same end point section 30. In other words, the first path section 21 and the second path section 22 are configured to have different lengths and join just before the end point section 30.

[0030] In this embodiment, the character section C of the end point section 30 is configured to resemble a fish. Also, a pattern resembling a fishing rod 60 is drawn on the start point section 10, and the fishing line 61 of this fishing rod 60 is drawn to be connected to the vicinity of the start mark 106 of the start point section 10. With this configuration that creates the fishing effect, the player can enjoy a first form 1F in which the fishing has failed (the candy has broken) and a second form 2F in which the fishing has been successful, in which the start point section 10, the path section 20, and the end point section 30 have all been successfully peeled off.

[0031] As described above, in the state where the candy 1 of this embodiment is the candy set 100 stored in the storage section 101, the starting point 10 and the end point 30 are connected by the path section 20, and since it has multiple paths by the branching section 20a, it is possible to enjoy playing by reaching the character section C at the end point 30 via different paths.

[0032] Furthermore, in the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, when two or more end point portions 30 are provided, the end point portions 30 each include a character portion C of a different shape, so that the character for each route can be enjoyed.

[0033] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the first path portion 21 and the second path portion 22 have different lengths, so that it is possible to enjoy different ways of reaching the end point 30. In particular, since the confectionery 1 is stretchable and the path portion 20 has a greater degree of stretch than other portions, it is possible to enjoy the way the path portion 20 stretches when peeled off from the storage portion 101.

[0034] In addition, since the path section 20 is narrower than the start point section 10 and the end point section 30 and is configured to have the same width, the path section 20 can be easily stretched, and the path section 20 can be made to appear to stretch significantly.

[0035] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the end point portion 30 is configured to have a larger area than the start point portion 10 in a plan view, so that the character portion C of the end point portion 30 can be emphasized. Also, by making the start point portion 10 and the end point portion 30 a different color from the path portion 20, the end point portion 30 and the start point portion 10 can be emphasized.

[0036] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the path section 20, the starting point section 10, and the ending point section 30 include a portion at the connection section 20b that creates a blend of colors, so that a blend of colors can be created. Furthermore, if the confectionery 1 is color-coded and flavored with different flavors, the connection section 20b can create a blend of flavors. Furthermore, if each color has a different scent, the connection section 20b can create a blend of scents.

[0037] In addition, since the path section 20 has a different color, taste, and scent from the start section 10 and the end section 30, it is possible to present the color, taste, and scent of each of the path section 20, the start section 10, and the end section 30. In particular, it is possible to present the color, taste, and scent associated with the character of the end section 30.

[0038] In the confectionery set 100 of this embodiment, the path portion 20 is stored in the storage portion 101 in a non-linear shape, so that the difficulty of pulling the path portion 20 away from the bottom portion 102 can be enjoyed.

[0039] In the confectionery set 100 of this embodiment, the upper surface 1a of the cross section of the path section 20 is flat and the lower surface 1b is curved, so that, for example, the contact area of ​​the confectionery 1 with the deepest surface 102g of the storage section 101 can be easily changed. As a result, the adhesion force of the confectionery 1 to the storage section 101 can be changed.

[0040] In the confectionery set 100 of this embodiment, the top surface 1a of the starting point portion 10, the end point portion 30, and the path portion 20 are configured so as not to adhere to the storage portion 101, and therefore can be pulled up by pulling them away from the storage portion 101 from the top surface 1a side. Also, since all parts of the confectionery 1 (the starting point portion 10, the end point portion 30, and the path portion 20) are stored in the storage portion 101 in a contracted state, when they are pulled away from the storage portion 101, the adhesive force can be utilized to make each part stretch.

[0041] In the confectionery set 100 of this embodiment, the storage section 101 is provided with a film lid 103 that can open and close the storage section 101 without contacting the confectionery 1, so that the confectionery 1 can be protected without sticking to the film lid 103. Furthermore, the bottom 102 of the storage section 101 is provided with a protrusion 104 that protrudes higher than the confectionery 1 at least near the end point 30, so that contact between the film lid 103 and the top surface 1a of the confectionery 1 is avoided. In particular, even when removing the film lid 103, contact can be effectively avoided by the protrusion 104, so that the confectionery 1 does not stick to the film lid 103 and is not removed from the bottom 102 when the film lid 103 is peeled off.

[0042] In addition, in the confectionery set 100 of this embodiment, the starting point 10, the end point 30, and the path portion 20 are configured so that, in an extended state, the length (L1) from the starting point 10 to the end point 30 is longer than the length (L101) of the long side of the storage portion 101. As a result, when the confectionery 1 starts to be pulled out from the starting point 10 and the character portion C of the end point 30 is pulled out via the path portion 20, it can be made to look larger than the size of the storage portion 101. It can also be made to look as if the character portion C is being pulled out.

[0043] In this embodiment of the candy set 100, the candy 1 is configured to be breakable at any of the starting point 10, the ending point 30, and the path portion 20, so that it is possible to enjoy either a first state 1F (unsuccessful removal) in which the candy breaks midway through the operation of removing it from the bottom 102, or a second state 2F (successful removal) in which the candy does not break.

[0044] Furthermore, in the confectionery set 100 of this embodiment, the storage section 101 has, at its outer peripheral edge 105, a facing portion 103a that is not adhered to the outer peripheral edge 105, and is provided with a film peeling portion 108 that is inclined in a direction away from the film lid 103, so that when peeling off the film lid 103, the film lid 103 can be easily picked up and the film lid 103 can be easily peeled off.

[0045] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope of its technical concept. For example, in the above embodiment, the configuration is such that two path portions (the first path portion 21 and the second path portion 22) are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the configuration may include three or more path portions.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the starting point 10 and the ending point 30 are configured to be substantially circular or elliptical in plan view, but are not limited to this shape. Also, the characters are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the projection 104 is provided so as to surround the end point portion 30, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the projection 104 may be provided at a position close to the start point portion 10 and the path portion 20.
