Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In Patent Document 1, a chocolate confectionery formed into a puzzle by providing cut-off lines is disclosed. However, this confectionery only has ways of playing such as cutting a predetermined pattern with cut-off lines and assembling it into the original pattern, so there is no change in taste, the types of ways of playing are few, and there are problems in its interestingness.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a confectionery with improved interestingness.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A confectionery according to one aspect of the present invention is a confectionery comprising: a main body formed of multiple colors selected from a plurality of main body parts; a character part formed on the main body part; and a background part formed on the main body part surrounding the character part, wherein the parts of the first color and the parts of the second color are composed of the same or similar filling density as a whole for the plurality of main body parts. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide confectionery with improved appeal. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a plan view of a confectionery according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the confectionery shown. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view of the portion along line AA in Figure 1. [Figure 4] This is a plan view showing the state after the main body has been separated and the character part has been successfully separated and cut out. [Figure 5] This is a plan view showing the character section shown in Figure 4 further divided. [Figure 6] This is a schematic diagram illustrating the manufacturing method of confectionery 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Hereinafter, a confectionery product according to one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the figures. Figure 1 is a plan view of confectionery 1. Figure 2 is a perspective view of confectionery 1. The confectionery 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is made of chocolate as the confectionery material, and for example, its main body 10 is a rectangular, flat chocolate confectionery with four sides (left, right, top, and bottom). In plan view, a character part 20 is formed approximately in the center of the rectangular main body 10. A background part 30 is provided around the character part 20. Below the character part 20, a text information part 38 is provided, in which information about the character is written as text information 39a.

[0010] In this embodiment, the background portion 30 is the part that surrounds the character portion 20 in the figure, and is configured to decorate the central character portion 20, for example, by having a different color from the character portion 20. The background portion 30 is broadly divided into a first background portion 31 and a second background portion 32 according to its protruding height (see Figures 2 and 3). The first background portion 31 has a flat structure with no particular pattern formed thereon. The second background portion 32 is slightly thicker than the first background portion 31 and has a pattern such as a hexagon.

[0011] In this embodiment, the character part 20 is composed of multiple colors. For example, the character part 20 is composed of a first-colored part 21 and a second-colored part 22. The first-colored part 21 and the second-colored part 22 have a color scheme that is significantly different from the second background part 32 and the first background part 31, and the first-colored part 21 and the second-colored part 22 are composed of colors that stand out against the background part 30 that surrounds them.

[0012] In this embodiment, the first background section 31 and the second background section 32 are adjacent to the character section 20. However, the character section 20 can be separated from the first background section 31, which does not have a decorative pattern, and all of its outline can be surrounded by the second background section 32, thereby enhancing the decorative aspect of the background section 30.

[0013] In the background section 30 shown in Figures 1 and 2, the color may differ between the first background section 31 and the second background section 32, but in this embodiment, for example, they are composed of the same brown color. Furthermore, the surface size of the first background section 31 is formed to be the same as or similar to the size of the character section 20 and the second background section 32. However, the surface size of the first background section 31 may be slightly larger than that of the second background section 32. In this way, by having the surface size of the background section 30 to be the same as or similar to the size of the character section 20, the first background section 31, and the second background section 32, it is possible to decorate the character with the background section 30 in a well-balanced manner.

[0014] The character section 20 is represented by a first color section 21 and a second color section 22, which are different from brown tones and are, for example, brighter than the background section 30. The first color section 21 is, for example, pink and resembles the character's head, while the second color section 22 is, for example, depicted in a light gray or beige. Here, the different colored parts are color-coded to reflect the flavor ingredients contained in the chocolate. In this embodiment, there are four to five different colors, and each color corresponds to four to five different flavors.

[0015] The character part 20 has a stylized shape. For example, the first color part 21 consists of the first head 21a and the second head 21b located below the first head 21a as parts of the character part 20. The second color part 22 consists of the chest 22a, 22b, 22c, shoulder 22d, and the inner part of the head 22e as parts of the character part 20.

[0016] The first head 21a and the second head 21b of the part 21 of the first color are configured in, for example, a strawberry-flavored pink color. The chest parts 22a, 22b, 22c, the shoulder parts 22d, and the inner head parts 22e of the part 22 of the second color are, for example, white-based colors of the same system such as blueberry and grape flavors. The white-based colors of the same system mentioned here mean, for example, that the chest parts 22a, 22b, 22c are configured as beige colors, and the shoulder parts 22d and the inner head parts 22e are configured as gray colors, resulting in two types of flavors. Thus, the character part 20 includes three flavors in three colors and further includes a base part 60 (see FIG. 3) described later.

[0017] In the character part 20, a groove part 40 that constitutes its contour line is provided between each part. Also, the groove part 40 is formed in the entire periphery so that the character part 20 protrudes in relief with respect to the background part 30. In the part 21 of the first color, the groove part 40 is provided so as to be divisible into the first head 21a and the second head 21b. For example, the head part of the character part 20 is composed of a first head 21a where the part 21 of the first color (for example, strawberry flavor) and the part 22 of the second color (for example, grape flavor) are difficult to divide, and a second head 21b that is only the part 21 of the first color (for example, strawberry flavor). On the other hand, the chest parts 22a, 22b, 22c, and the shoulder parts 22d of the part 22 of the second color are provided in a state where each part is separated by the groove part 40 and can be divided for each part, that is, for each different flavor.

[0018] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a portion taken along the line A-A of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 3, each colored part of the confectionery 1 is formed as a layer having a predetermined thickness, with a layer for each color. For example, on the front surface 10f of one side of the main body part 10, a multicolored pattern is drawn, but on the back surface 10r of the other side, it has a single-color configuration of the base part 50. For example, the character part 20, the text information part 38, and the background part 30 are laminated as other materials (materials with different colors and flavors) on the front surface 10f side of the base part 50.

[0019] The character part 20 has the part 21 of the first color and the part 22 of the second color among the plurality of colors as described above, and is configured such that the filling rates of the materials of both parts are substantially the same. For example, the part 21 of the first color is formed with a filling rate of approximately 20% of the entire confectionery material, and the part 22 of the second color is formed with a filling rate of approximately 21% of the entire confectionery material. Here, the "filling rate" may be any of the volume, weight, and surface size (area) of the pattern of the confectionery material.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, the groove part 40 has a depth of the groove reaching the base part 50. That is, it is at a position deeper than the surface of the first background part 31.

[0021] Most of the text information part 38 is provided so as to be adjacent to (surrounded by) the second background part 32. The text information 38a is positioned at the same height as the character part 20 in a state adjacent to the second background part 32. Note that the height of the text information 38a may be slightly lower than that of the character part 20. Also, the text information 38a has characters such as the name of the character that emphasize and characterize the character formed thereon. This text information 38a is formed in a groove, but may also be in a convex shape.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 3, the base part 50 is composed of a chocolate containing puffs 60. Here, the first background part 31 and the second background part 32 are formed of the same color material as the base part 50. In this case, the first background part 31 and the second background part 32 can be formed simultaneously with the base part 50. For example, when forming the base part 50, the puffs 60 are solidified so as to be mostly contained on the lower side (bottom side) of the base part 50, and the bottom surface of the back side surface 10r (lower side in the figure) of the base part 50 has a somewhat uneven shape. However, the front side surface 10f (upper side in the figure) of the base part 50 forms a substantially flat surface made of chocolate with almost no unevenness caused by the puffs 60 during the process of solidifying the chocolate material.

[0023] Furthermore, for the first background portion 31 and the second background portion 32, after forming the base portion 50 containing the puffs 60, a thin layer of chocolate material without the puffs 60 may be formed on top of it.

[0024] Thus, the character section 20, the text information section 38, and the background section 30 are made of chocolate without puffs, while the base section 50 is made of chocolate containing puffs 60. As a result, the confectionery 1 not only has different flavors depending on the part, but the texture also differs greatly depending on the part eaten because the puff content 60 is different.

[0025] Figure 4 is a plan view showing the main body 10 in a divided state, and is a plan view showing the state when the division and cutting of the character part 20 has been successful. The separation shown in Figure 4 is a successful example of separating the character part 20. In this case, the background part 30 is successfully separated at the groove 40 between the character part 20 and the background part 30, that is, at the outer circumference of the character part 20. When eating the broken candy 1, if the character part 20 is not separated at the groove 40, the eater can enjoy either a single flavor or a mixture of multiple flavors depending on where they eat it.

[0026] Figure 5 is a plan view showing the character section 20 in a divided state. As shown in Figure 5, the character portion 20 can be divided into two areas by the groove portion 40: a first-color portion 21 and a second-color portion 22. When eaten in this state, the taste of the first-color portion 21 and the taste of the second-color portion 22 can be enjoyed separately.

[0027] Furthermore, the second color section 22 can be further divided into individual parts by the grooves 40. For example, the shoulder section 22d and the other parts will have different flavors, allowing you to enjoy the individual flavors of each color.

[0028] Unlike the cases shown in Figures 4 and 5, there are instances where the character section 20 and text information section 38 are not properly separated and break in various places. In this case, the broken pieces of candy contain a mixture of the character section 20, text information section 38, and background section 30. As a result, the taste, aroma, and texture of the candy pieces vary from piece to piece, allowing for enjoyment of these differences, and the failure to separate and cut the character section 20 can also be enjoyed as a result of the resulting variations in taste, aroma, and texture.

[0029] As described above, in this embodiment of the confectionery 1, the character portion 20 on the plate-shaped main body portion 10 is formed of a first-color portion 21 and a second-color portion 22, and the filling ratio of both portions is the same or similar, so that the different flavors of the character portion can be enjoyed to almost the same extent without favoring one over the other.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment of confectionery 1, the character part 20, the first background part 31, and the second background part 32 are color-coded, and the thickness is also multi-layered, allowing consumers to enjoy the color and how to break the confectionery 1.

[0031] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the first colored portion 21 and the second colored portion 22 are formed spaced apart from each other, so that when confectionery materials of different colors and flavors are formed, they do not mix together. In particular, by providing a groove 40 between the first colored portion 21 and the second colored portion 22, the colors do not mix together, and the lines (outlines) of the pattern can be formed neatly.

[0032] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the first colored part 21 and the second colored part 22 are included in the character part 20, so when eating the character part 20, one can enjoy a variety of colors and flavors.

[0033] Furthermore, in the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the background portion 30 is configured such that the first background portion 31 and the second background portion 32 have different thicknesses, which, unlike a background portion composed of a single thickness, makes it possible to create the impression that the background portion 30 is difficult to break.

[0034] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the character part 20 is composed of multiple parts formed at a distance from each other, so that the character can be disassembled into its individual parts, and different flavors can be enjoyed by changing the color and taste of each part.

[0035] Furthermore, when at least one of the first-colored portion 21 and the second-colored portion 22 of the character portion 20 is adjacent to the second background portion 32, or when it is adjacent to the first background portion 31, the thickness changes slightly, thereby providing a variation in how the character portion 20 is positioned.

[0036] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, when a second background section 32 with a design is placed adjacent to the character section 20, the decorative effect of the character section 20 can be enhanced by making the background section 32 thicker than the first background section 31, along with the design.

[0037] In the confectionery 1 of this embodiment, the text information 38a is positioned closer to the second background portion 32, which is thicker than the first background portion 31 in the thinner areas and has a design, thereby enabling emphasis and decorative effects on the text.

[0038] In this embodiment of the confectionery 1, the character part 20, the first background part 31, and the second background part 32 have grooves 40 formed in their adjacent portions, allowing the confectionery 1 to be divided along the pattern. Furthermore, the grooves 40 make the outline of the character part 20 clearer. In addition, by configuring the character part 20 to have parts with appropriately different colors, the character part 20 can be decorated and presented in a colorful way.

[0039] If the surface size of the first background section 31 is the same as or similar to the size of the character section 20 and the second background section 32, then there will be no size bias between the size of the character section 20 and the background size, and the overall balance of the design will be improved. In addition, regarding the balance of flavors, since the sizes of the major structural parts of each section of the design are configured to be approximately the same, it is possible to provide a confectionery 1 that does not have an unbalanced flavor, but rather has a good balance of flavors with multiple colors and does not become tiresome.

[0040] In this embodiment of confectionery 1, the character portion 20 and the first background portion 31 are formed by lamination onto the base portion 50, so that differences in taste and color can be created between the base portion 50 and the laminated material on top of it. Also, since the character portion 20 is formed on the base portion 50, the same base portion 50 can be used to form various different characters.

[0041] In this embodiment of confectionery 1, the main body 10 includes a base 50 containing puffs 60, allowing the user to enjoy both the taste and texture. Furthermore, since the same color is formed to have the same taste, the user can enjoy predicting the taste based on the color.

[0042] In this embodiment of confectionery 1, a groove 40 is formed around the character part 20, making it easy to determine the outline shape of the character part 20. On the other hand, because the character part 20 is divided into multiple parts by the groove 40, the character part 20 also has sides that are easily broken by the groove 40 when cutting out the shape, creating a sense of accomplishment when the character part 20 is cut out cleanly.

[0043] Although one aspect 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 background portion 30 has two different thicknesses relative to the thickness of the character portion 20, but the invention is not limited to this configuration, and may have three or more different thicknesses.

[0044] Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes a configuration with only one depth for the groove portion 40, it is not limited to this, and for example, the groove portion 40 may be configured to have multiple depths.

[0045] Furthermore, while the above embodiment describes a confectionery primarily made from chocolate, it is not limited to this composition; for example, any ingredient that hardens to a certain extent, such as cookies, is not particularly limited.

[0046] In the above embodiment, it was explained that when the confectionery 1 is viewed individually, the filling ratio of the first color portion 21 and the second color portion 22 of the character portion 20 is the same or similar. However, it is not limited to this.

[0047] For example, consider the production of multiple candies 1 with different character designs 20. The production line for the candies 1 may, for example, produce four candies 1 at once, each containing a character part 20 modeled after one of four characters appearing in the same anime. Each of these four candies 1 contains a first-color part 21 of the same color across all four candies 1, and a second-color part 22 of the same color across all four candies 1.

[0048] In the manufacturing process, four base parts 50 are first manufactured. Then, for example, a mold corresponding to the design of the character part 20 is placed on each base part 50. In the example in Figure 6, molds X1, X2, X3, and X4 are placed on the four base parts 50, respectively.

[0049] Next, the process moves to the first filling step. In this step, confectionery raw material A, which is the raw material for the first color portion 21 that makes up the character portion 20, is filled into predetermined areas of molds X1, X2, X3, and X4.

[0050] Next, the process moves to the second filling step. In this step, the confectionery raw material B, which is the raw material for the second colored part 22 that makes up the character part 20, is filled into predetermined areas of molds X1, X2, X3, and X4.

[0051] Furthermore, after the process of filling the background section 30 with raw materials, the raw materials filled into molds X1, X2, X3, and X4 are solidified and molded simultaneously.

[0052] As shown in Figure 6, in the first filling process, confectionery ingredient A with a total weight G1 is distributed and filled into molds X1, X2, X3, and X4. In the second filling process, confectionery ingredient B with the same total weight G1 as confectionery ingredient A is distributed and filled into molds X1, X2, X3, and X4.

[0053] The main body 10 of the four confectionery 1 manufactured in this way has the same or similar filling density for the first colored portion 21 and the second colored portion 22 as a whole. In other words, the sum of the volume, weight, or surface size of each portion 21 of the four confectionery 1 is the same or similar to the sum of the volume, weight, or surface size of each portion 22 of the four confectionery 1. Note that it is sufficient for the filling density of portion 21 and portion 22 to be the same for the four confectionery 1 as a whole, so it is not necessary for the filling density of portion 21 and portion 22 to be the same for each of the four confectionery 1.

[0054] By adopting such a manufacturing process, it becomes easier to manage and control raw material costs, thus reducing overall manufacturing costs. Furthermore, for users purchasing candy 1, even if the candy 1 corresponds to the same anime, they can enjoy variations in taste depending on the design of the character part 20. Additionally, by purchasing all candies 1 that include the character part 20 from the same anime, users can obtain equal amounts of the first-color part 21 and the second-color part 22, stimulating their desire to collect.
