[0015] Hereinafter, each embodiment of the invention disclosed in this application will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention can be embodied in various forms without departing from the spirit of the invention, and should not be construed as being limited to the description of the embodiments exemplified below.

[0016] In the drawings referred to in this embodiment, identical parts or parts having similar functions are given the same or similar symbols (symbols consisting of only a number followed by A, B, etc.), and repeated explanations may be omitted. Also, for the sake of convenience, the dimensional ratios in the drawings may differ from the actual ratios, and some components may be omitted from the drawings.

[0017] Furthermore, in the detailed description of the present invention, when defining the positional relationship between a certain component and another component, "above" and "below" do not only mean being located directly above or directly below a certain component, but also include cases where there are other components interposed between them, unless otherwise specified.

[0018] (1. Configuration of the frozen dessert holder 100) Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a frozen dessert holder 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of the frozen dessert holder 100. Fig. 3 is a side view of the frozen dessert holder 100. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the frozen dessert holder 100. Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the frozen dessert holding portion 130 of the frozen dessert holder 100 taken along line A1-A2. The frozen dessert holder 100 is a member that holds a frozen dessert.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the frozen dessert holder 100 includes a gripping portion 110 and a frozen dessert holding portion 130. The frozen dessert holder 100 is made of a resin material. In this embodiment, the frozen dessert holder 100 is made of polystyrene. By using polystyrene, the frozen dessert holder is made cold-resistant, lightweight, and strong. Other resin materials that may be used include polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, and olefin resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene.

[0020] The gripping portion 110 is provided in a rod shape extending upward (first direction D1). In this example, the gripping portion 110 has the shape of a quadrangular prism (with a horizontally elongated rectangular cross section) and is provided flat. The gripping portion 110 may also have the shape of a hexagonal prism, a circular cylinder, an elliptical cylinder, or a cylinder. It is desirable that the corners of the gripping portion 110 are appropriately chamfered. The thickness of the gripping portion 110 is 2 mm in this example, but can be changed as appropriate. The width of the lower portion 110b of the gripping portion 110 is constant (10 mm in this example), but can be changed as appropriate.

[0021] 3, the upper portion 110u of the gripping portion 110 expands upward (in the first direction D1), thereby improving the strength of the gripping portion 110 when the frozen dessert holding portion 130 holds the frozen dessert, and preventing the gripping portion 110 from being damaged.

[0022] The frozen dessert holding portion 130 is provided in a direction intersecting the upward direction (first direction) (in this example, the perpendicular depth direction (also called "second direction D2")). In this example, the frozen dessert holding portion 130 is provided along the second direction D2. The upper surface 130u of the frozen dessert holding portion 130 is provided with a plurality of irregularities 131, through holes 133, and a frame portion 135.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 4, in a plan view, the width W130 of the frozen dessert holding portion 130 gradually decreases from the connection with the gripping portion 110 toward the second direction (tip side). In this example, the width W130 of the frozen dessert holding portion 130 is a maximum of 32 mm. This eliminates the need to open the mouth wide when putting the frozen dessert or the frozen dessert holding portion 130 in the mouth, providing excellent convenience. The length L130 of the frozen dessert holding portion 130 in the second direction D2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 30 mm from the perspective of holding the frozen dessert. The corners 130c of the frozen dessert holding portion 130 are rounded for safety reasons.

[0024] The plurality of irregularities 131 are arranged in a grid pattern. In this example, the irregularities 131 have a shape that tapers toward the bottom. The bottom of the irregularities 131 may be flat. The depth of the irregularities 131 is set appropriately within a range of 0.5 mm to 5 mm. In this example, the depth of the irregularities 131 is 2.5 mm.

[0025] The through holes 133 are provided adjacent to the irregularities 131. The through holes 133 penetrate from the upper surface 130u to the lower surface 130b of the frozen dessert holding portion 130. In this example, the number of through holes 133 is two. The number of through holes 133 may be one, or three or more. In this example, the through holes 133 are provided side by side along the second direction D2, but this is not particularly limited. The arrangement of the through holes 133 can be changed as appropriate. In this embodiment, the through holes 133 have a circular shape when viewed from above, but may also have a rectangular shape. The width (diameter) of the through holes 133 is set as appropriate in the range of 1 mm to 10 mm. In this example, the width (diameter) of the through holes 133 is 5 mm.

[0026] The frame portion 135 is provided so as to surround the plurality of projections and recesses 131. The frame portion 135 protrudes upward beyond the apexes 131a of the projections of the plurality of projections and recesses 131. In this example, the frame portion 135 protrudes upward by 1 mm beyond the apexes 131a of the projections of the plurality of projections and recesses 131, but this can be changed as appropriate.

[0027] In this embodiment, the frozen dessert holder 100 is molded using the resin material described above. In this case, the gripping portion 110 and the frozen dessert holding portion 130 are integrally formed as a continuous unit. This allows the entire frozen dessert holder 100 to be easily manufactured in one go. Furthermore, because the gripping portion 110 and the frozen dessert holding portion 130 are integrally formed, no unnecessary load is applied to the connection portion, thereby increasing the strength of the frozen dessert holder 100.

[0028] When forming the frozen dessert holder 100, it may be molded using a flat molding member and heated and folded between the part corresponding to the gripping portion 110 and the part corresponding to the frozen dessert holding portion 130, or it may be molded and processed using a molding member to form a folded shape.

[0029] (2. Effects of this embodiment) A frozen dessert can be produced by immersing the frozen dessert holder 100 of this embodiment in a liquid for the frozen dessert and cooling it for a predetermined time. At this time, the frozen dessert is caught (engaged) with the plurality of irregularities 131, through-holes 133, and frame 135 provided on the frozen dessert holding portion 130, preventing the frozen dessert from falling out of the frozen dessert holder 100. Furthermore, the width of the upper portion 110u of the gripping portion 110 of the frozen dessert holder 100 increases upward, thereby enabling the frozen dessert holder 100 to withstand the load of the frozen dessert. Therefore, by using this embodiment, a frozen dessert holder of a new shape can be provided that can hold a frozen dessert horizontally instead of the conventional vertically.

[0030] (3. Modifications) Within the scope of the concept of the present invention, a person skilled in the art may conceive of various modifications and alterations, and it is understood that these modifications and alterations also fall within the scope of the present invention. For example, to the above-described embodiment, a person skilled in the art may appropriately add or delete components, combine or change the design of the embodiments, or add or omit processing or change conditions, and these modifications and alterations are also included within the scope of the present invention as long as they maintain the gist of the present invention.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frozen dessert holder 100 is formed using a resin material, but the present invention is not limited to this. The frozen dessert holder 100 may be formed using a metal material or wood.

[0032] In addition, although an example in which the frozen dessert holder 100 is provided as an integrated unit has been shown in one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the gripping portion 110 and the frozen dessert holding portion 130 may be fixed and connected by a fixing device.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of irregularities 131 are arranged in a grid pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. Fig. 6A is a plan view of the frozen dessert holder 100A. Fig. 6B is a cross-sectional view of the frozen dessert holding portion 130A of the frozen dessert holder 100A taken along line B1-B2. As shown in Figs. 6A and 6B, the plurality of irregularities 131A of the frozen dessert holding portion 130A may be arranged side by side along the second direction D2. In this case, the irregularities 131A may extend in a horizontal direction (third direction D3) intersecting the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.

[0034] An opening may also be provided in a part of the gripping portion 110. This reduces the weight of the entire frozen dessert holder, thereby enabling a reduction in the weight of the frozen dessert holder 100. Furthermore, by providing an opening, the frozen dessert holder can be fixed to a jig when immersed in liquid and frozen (to produce frozen dessert).

[0035] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, an example has been shown in which the plurality of irregularities 131, the through-holes 133, and the frame portion 135 are provided on the upper surface 130u of the frozen dessert holding portion 130, but the present invention is not limited to this. The plurality of irregularities 131 and the frame portion 135 may also be provided on the lower surface 130b of the frozen dessert holding portion 130.

[0036] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, an example has been shown in which a plurality of irregularities 131, through-holes 133, and frame portion 135 are provided on the upper surface 130u of the frozen dessert holding portion 130, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, each of these may be provided alone or in combination.

[0037] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, an example was shown in which the lower part of the gripping portion 110 has a rod shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. Fig. 7 is a side view of a frozen dessert holder 100B according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 7, the lower part 110Bb of the gripping portion 110B of the frozen dessert holder 100B may have a ring shape. In this case, the frozen dessert holder 100B can be gripped by inserting a finger inside the ring.

[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, an example has been shown in which gripping portion 110 has a rectangular prism shape, but the present invention is not limited to this. Figures 8A and 8B are cross-sectional views of gripping portion 110. Grip portion 110 may have a shape in which two plate-like members intersect, as shown in Figure 8A, or may have a shape in which three plate-like members intersect, as shown in Figure 8B.

[0039] The frozen dessert holder 100 of one embodiment of the present invention may be used to hold snacks or ingredients other than frozen desserts.
