[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Embodiments of the confectionery of this invention will now be described. This embodiment is provided to give a better understanding of the spirit of the invention and does not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified.

[0010] Figures 1 to 4 show the schematic structure of an ocarina, a confectionery modeled after a flute, which is an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1(A) is a perspective view showing the surface of the confectionery, and (B) is a perspective view showing the back of the confectionery. Figure 2(A) is a plan view showing the surface of the confectionery, (B) is a plan view showing the back of the confectionery, and (C) is a cross-sectional view along line AA of (A) and (B). Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along line AA of Figure 2. Figure 4 shows the schematic structure of an ocarina, a confectionery modeled after a flute, which is a different embodiment of the present invention, and is a plan view showing the surface of the confectionery. An example of a confectionery modeled after a flute in this embodiment is the ocarina (hereinafter referred to as "ocarina") 10, which comprises a main body 20 including a resonating part 21, an air blowing part 40 provided so as to protrude from the side of the main body 20, and a filling part 50 provided on the resonating part 21.

[0011] As shown in Figure 1(A), for example, on the surface 20a of the main body 20, in the region opposite to the air blowing section 40 (the region separated from the air blowing section 40), finger holes (small holes) 22, finger holes (large holes) 23, finger holes (large holes) 24, and finger holes (large holes) 25 are provided in a nearly straight line, penetrating the resonance section 21 for sound resonance. Also, as shown in Figure 1(A), for example, on the surface 20a of the main body 20, in the region on the air blowing section 40 side (the region near the air blowing section 40), finger holes (large holes) 26, finger holes (large holes) 27, finger holes (large holes) 28, and finger holes (small holes) 29 are provided in a nearly straight line, penetrating the resonance section 21. The resonance section 21 forms a space where resonance occurs due to air vibrations within the main body 20. Specifically, the resonance portion 21 is formed within the main body portion 20 by the main body portion 20 and the supplementary portion 50 provided within the main body portion 20. Alternatively, the resonance portion 21 may be formed within the main body portion 20 by the supplementary portion 50 alone. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1(A), on the surface 20a of the main body 20, for example, a row consisting of finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25 and a row consisting of finger holes 26, 27, 28, 29 are provided in roughly parallel positions.

[0012] These finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29 are for pitch adjustment. Finger holes 22, 23, 24, and 25 are covered by the index, middle, ring, and little fingers of the left hand. Also, finger holes 26, 27, 28, and 29 are covered by the index, middle, ring, and little fingers of the right hand. Furthermore, the shape of finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29 when viewed from above is not particularly limited and may include, for example, circles, ellipses, triangles, squares, etc.

[0013] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1(B), for example, a pair of finger holes (large holes) 31 and 32 are provided on the back surface 20b of the main body 20, facing each other with the mouthpiece 42 (described later) in between. Finger holes 31 and 32 are for pitch adjustment. Finger hole 31 is covered by the right thumb. Finger hole 32 is covered by the left thumb. The shape of the finger holes 31 and 32 when viewed from above is not particularly limited and may include, for example, a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a square, etc.

[0014] The air blowing section 40 has a mouthpiece 41 provided at its end for blowing air into the main body 20, a mouthpiece 42 that opens a part of the resonating section 21 of the main body 20 to the outside, and an airway 43 that connects the mouthpiece 41 and the mouthpiece 42. Furthermore, the airway 43 is provided to penetrate the air inlet 40 toward the main body 20. The nozzle 41 and the resonance section 21 of the main body 20 are in communication via the airway 43.

[0015] The mouthpiece 42 is provided with an edge 44 positioned opposite the airway 43, which is struck by the air blown out from the airway 43. The shape of the mouthpiece 42 when viewed from above is not particularly limited, and examples include circular, elliptical, triangular, and square shapes.

[0016] The main body 20 consists of baked goods made primarily from wheat or rice. Examples of baked goods that use wheat as the main ingredient include well-known biscuits and well-known shortbread cookies. Biscuits are made by mixing flour with milk, shortening, butter, sugar, etc., and baking them until they have a crisp texture. Biscuits may also contain added ingredients such as chocolate, nuts, or dried fruit. Sablé cookies are made by mixing butter (or shortening) and cake flour in a nearly 1:1 ratio, resulting in a richer butter flavor and a crisp texture. Examples of baked goods that use rice as the main ingredient include rice crackers made with rice flour. By making the main body 20 of a baked confectionery with wheat or rice as the main raw material, when the ocarina 10 is held by hand, it will not be sticky.

[0017] The air blowing part 40, that is, the blowing port 41, the sound hole 42, the air passage 43 and the edge 44 may be formed of candy or ramune. The candy is not particularly limited as long as it does not easily melt or soften at the temperature of the environment where the ocarina 10 is used or stored. Examples of such candy include candies made of the same components as hard candy, senbei, Tupps (registered trademark), Milky, etc.

[0018] Ramune is a solid confectionery in the form of a tablet, and is generally composed of katakuri starch, glucose, citric acid, etc.

[0019] Also, the air blowing part 40 may be formed of a milk cake (a confectionery mainly composed of dried sweetened condensed milk). Sweetened condensed milk is a high-viscosity liquid food obtained by adding sugar to milk and concentrating it.

[0020] Also, the air blowing part 40 does not necessarily have to be formed of ingredients such as candy, ramune, milk cake, etc., and may be formed of a resin applicable to food. If the air blowing part 20 is formed of resin, the accuracy of the shape of the air blowing part 20 will be higher than when it is formed of ingredients, so the ocarina 10 can achieve a high sound-producing function as a musical instrument. When the air blowing part 40 is formed of resin, the main body part 20 and the air blowing part 40 are adhered by the method described later.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3, the filling part 50 is provided inside the main body part 20. The filling part 50 may be made of chocolate. When made of chocolate, the filling part 50 can be easily processed because it can be formed by melting the chocolate and then, after it has solidified, its shape can be finely adjusted by scraping or other means. The chocolate is not particularly limited as long as it does not easily melt or soften at the temperature of the environment in which the ocarina 10 is used or stored.

[0022] Furthermore, the filling portion 50 does not necessarily have to be made of chocolate; it may be made of other ingredients. For example, it may be made of jelly, agar, gummy candy, red bean paste, cream, the aforementioned candy, ramune, or fruit. The filling portion 50 may be made of one type of ingredient, or it may be made of multiple ingredients, such as chocolate with nuts. The tone of the ocarina 10 can be changed depending on the ingredients that make up the filling portion 50.

[0023] In particular, it is preferable from an acoustic standpoint to use easily vibrating food ingredients such as jelly, agar, or gummy candy for the filling section 50. By forming the filling section 50 with easily vibrating food ingredients, the wall surface of the resonant section 21 deforms in response to fluctuations in air pressure. Therefore, Helmholtz resonance can be promoted when the ocarina 10 produces sound.

[0024] By providing the filling section 50 within the main body section 20, the volume of the resonant section 21 is adjusted. In other words, increasing the volume of the filling section 50 decreases the volume of the resonant section 21. As the volume of the resonant section 21 decreases, the fundamental tone of the ocarina 10 becomes higher. Therefore, by adjusting the amount of the filling section 50 provided in the main body section 21, the sound production range of the ocarina 10 can be adjusted.

[0025] Furthermore, the filling portion 50 is provided so as not to block the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32 that penetrate from the surface of the main body portion 20 to the resonance portion 21. The filling portion 50 may have one opening facing any one of the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32, and the other opening having a hole 51 leading to the resonance portion 21. If multiple holes 51 are provided, it is preferable that each hole 51 corresponds to one of the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32.

[0026] By adjusting the length of the tube of hole 51, the pitches of the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32, which are faced by one opening of hole 51, can be adjusted. By varying the length of the tubes of multiple holes 51, the pitch balance between the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32 can be adjusted. Therefore, by adjusting the length of the tube of hole 51, the musical scale produced by the ocarina 10 can be tuned.

[0027] Furthermore, the pitches of the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32 facing one of the openings of hole 51 can also be adjusted by adjusting the opening area of ​​one of the openings of hole 51. In this case as well, the scale produced by the ocarina 10 can be tuned. That is, the ocarina 10 can be tuned by adjusting at least one of the length of the tube or the opening area of ​​hole 51.

[0028] Next, we will explain the manufacturing method of the ocarina 10. For example, the main body 20 and the air blowing section 40 are manufactured separately. In manufacturing the main body 20, for example, the entire main body 20 may be manufactured at once, or the first member forming the front surface 20a side of the main body 20 and the second member forming the back surface 20b side of the main body 20 may be manufactured separately, and these first and second members may be joined together.

[0029] When manufacturing the entire main body 20 at once, a mold is prepared by combining an inner mold having an outer surface shape equal to the shape of the inner surface of the main body 20, i.e., the shape of the resonance part 21, and having protrusions corresponding to the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, and an outer mold having an inner surface shape equal to the outer shape of the main body 20. Then, a mixture mainly composed of wheat, which will be the raw material for the main body 20, is poured into the mold, i.e., into the gap between the inner mold and the outer mold. In this state, the mixture is baked, and the sintered body is released from the mold to obtain the main body 20 with finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32 provided in predetermined positions. The temperature at which the mixture is fired is not particularly limited and is adjusted as appropriate depending on the composition of the mixture and the mechanical strength required of the main body 20.

[0030] Furthermore, since the aforementioned mixture expands when heated, the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32 may not be of the predetermined size or shape. In such cases, a cutting tool such as a drill is used to cut the expanded, narrowed, or deformed finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32 to the predetermined size and shape.

[0031] When the first and second members are manufactured separately, a mold is prepared for molding the first member, which consists of an inner mold having an outer shape equal to the shape of the inner surface of the part of the main body 20 that forms the surface 20a side, and having protrusions corresponding to the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and an outer mold having an inner shape equal to the outer shape of the part of the main body 20 that forms the surface 20a side. A mixture mainly composed of wheat or rice, which will be the raw material for the main body 20, is poured into the mold, that is, into the gap between the inner mold and the outer mold. In this state, the mixture is baked, and the sintered body is released from the mold to obtain the first member, which has finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 in predetermined positions. If the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29 do not meet the specified size and shape, a cutting tool such as a drill is used to cut the swollen, narrowed, or deformed finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29 to the specified size and shape.

[0032] On the other hand, as a mold for forming the second member, a mold is prepared which is a combination of an inner mold having an outer shape equal to the shape of the inner surface of the portion of the main body 20 that forms the back surface 20b side and having protrusions corresponding to the finger holes 31 and 32, and an outer mold having an inner shape equal to the outer shape of the portion of the main body 20 that forms the back surface 20b side. Then, a mixture mainly composed of wheat or rice, which will be the raw material for the main body 20, is poured into the mold, that is, into the gap between the inner mold and the outer mold. In this state, the mixture is baked and the sintered body is released from the mold to obtain a second member with finger holes 31 and 32 provided in predetermined positions. If the finger holes 31 and 32 do not have the predetermined size or shape, a cutting tool such as a drill is used to cut the swollen, narrowed, or deformed finger holes 31 and 32 to the predetermined size and shape.

[0033] Next, the obtained first and second members are butted together so that their inner surfaces face inward, and then joined together with edible material. To join the first member and the second member, for example, the joining portion of the first member is formed into a concave rail shape, and the joining portion of the second member is formed into a convex rail shape so as to fit into the concave rail shape. Then, the convex rail shape of the second member is fitted into the concave rail shape of the first member, and the first member and the second member are butted together.

[0034] To join the first member and the second member, food-grade adhesive, egg white, melted candy, etc., is applied to at least one of the joining portions of the first member and the second member, and then the first member and the second member are butted together, and the chocolate, food-grade adhesive, egg white, candy, etc. are allowed to harden. Furthermore, in order to join the first and second members, the first and second members are butted together, and in this state, the entire first and second members are coated with chocolate, food-grade adhesive, egg white, melted candy, etc., and the chocolate, food-grade adhesive, egg white, candy, etc. are allowed to harden.

[0035] Furthermore, when the first and second components are manufactured separately, the following method may be used, for example. Using the mold described above, the mixture is fired to about half its final state to produce a precursor for the first component (a semi-cured product of the first component) and a precursor for the second component (a semi-cured product of the second component). The temperature at which the mixture is partially baked is not particularly limited and can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the composition of the mixture and the mechanical strength required of the main body 20. When the first and second components are manufactured separately, the process of providing the supplementary portion 50, described later, to the main body becomes easier.

[0036] Next, an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving flour or the like in water is applied to at least one of the joining portions of the first member precursor and the joining portion of the second member precursor. Then, the first member precursor and the second member precursor are butted together, and the first member precursor and the second member precursor are baked to the final baked state to join the first member and the second member.

[0037] Next, a filling portion 50 is formed in the main body portion 20. To form the filling portion 50, for example, the food material to be used for the filling portion 50 is melted, filled into the inner surface of at least one of the first member or the second member, and then cooled and solidified. Alternatively, the filling portion 50 may be formed inside the main body portion 20 after the first member and the second member have been joined together. The volume of the resonance portion 21 can be adjusted by the amount of food material used for the filling portion 50 that is filled in.

[0038] The shape of the resonating part 21 after the supplementary part 50 is provided is preferably close to an ellipsoid. By making the shape of the resonating part 21 closer to an ellipsoid, it becomes easier to produce sound with the ocarina 10.

[0039] The internal volume of the ocarina 10, including the main body 20 and the air blowing section 40, is preferably 50 ml to 100 ml. The amount of air added to the air filling section 50 is preferably 25 ml to 50 ml. By setting the internal volume of the ocarina 10 and the amount of air added to the air filling section 50 within these ranges, the fundamental tone of the ocarina 10 can be adjusted within the range of G4 to C5.

[0040] Furthermore, when forming the filling portion 50 in the main body portion 20, the finger holes 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32 may be plugged and filled. After the filling portion 50 is formed in the main body portion, the plugs can be removed to form holes 51 in the filling portion 50. The shape and length of the holes 51 can be adjusted depending on the shape of the plugs. The holes 51 may also be formed by carving the filling portion 50.

[0041] Furthermore, after forming the filler portion 50 and the hole 51, the amount of the filler portion 50 and the shape of the hole 51 may be adjusted by filing down the filler portion 50. By adjusting the amount of the filler portion 50 and the shape of the hole 51, the sound range, pitch, and scale of the ocarina 10 can be tuned.

[0042] In manufacturing the air blowing section 40, for example, the entire air blowing section 40 may be manufactured at once, or the first member forming the surface 40a side of the air blowing section 40 and the second member forming the back surface 40b side of the air blowing section 40 may be manufactured separately, and these first and second members may be joined together.

[0043] When manufacturing the entire air blowing section 40 at once, a mold is prepared by combining an inner mold having an outer shape equal to the shape of the inner surface of the air blowing section 40, i.e., the shape of the mouthpiece 41 and the airway 43, and an outer mold having an inner shape equal to the outer shape of the air blowing section 40, i.e., the mouthpiece 42 and the edge 44. Then, melted candy or ramune raw material, which will be the raw material for the air blowing section 40, is poured into the mold, i.e., into the gap between the inner mold and the outer mold. When candy is poured into the mold, the temperature of the candy is lowered to harden it, and the hardened product is released from the mold to obtain an air blowing section 40 with the mouthpiece 41, mouthpiece 42, airway 43 and edge 44 provided in predetermined positions. Furthermore, when the ramune raw material is poured into the mold, the ramune raw material is pressurized and agglomerated in this state, and the aggregate is released from the mold to obtain an air blowing section 40 with a mouthpiece 41, mouthpiece 42, airway 43, and edge 44 provided in predetermined positions.

[0044] When the first and second components of the air blowing section 40 are manufactured separately, a mold is prepared for molding the first component, which consists of an inner mold having an outer shape equal to the shape of the inner surface of the air blowing section 40, i.e., the shape of the nozzle 41 and airway 43, and an outer mold having an inner shape equal to the outer shape of the air blowing section 40. Then, melted candy or ramune raw materials, which will be the raw materials for the air blowing section 40, are poured into the mold, i.e., into the gap between the inner mold and the outer mold. After that, the first component with the nozzle 41 and airway 43 provided in predetermined positions is obtained in the same manner as when the air blowing section 40 is manufactured all at once.

[0045] On the other hand, a mold is prepared for molding the second component, which is made by combining an inner mold having an outer shape equal to the shape of the inner surface of the air blowing section 40, that is, the shape of the mouthpiece 41 and the airway 43, and an outer mold having an inner shape equal to the outer shape of the air blowing section 40, that is, the mouthpiece 42 and the edge 44. Then, melted candy or ramune raw material, which will be the raw material for the air blowing section 40, is poured into the mold, that is, into the gap between the inner mold and the outer mold. After that, a second component is obtained in which the mouthpiece 41, mouthpiece 42, airway 43 and edge 44 are provided in predetermined positions, in the same manner as when the air blowing section 40 is manufactured in one go.

[0046] Next, the obtained first and second members are butted together with their inner surfaces facing inward, and joined with melted candy. The joining method is the same as that used for the main body 20.

[0047] Furthermore, the resulting main body 20 and the air blowing section 40 are butted together and joined with edible material. To join the main body 20 and the air blowing section 40, for example, the joining portion of the main body 20 is formed into a concave rail shape, and the joining portion of the air blowing section 40 is formed into a convex rail shape so as to fit into the concave rail shape. Then, the convex rail shape of the air blowing section 40 is fitted into the concave rail shape of the main body 20, and the main body 20 and the air blowing section 40 are butted together.

[0048] To join the main body 20 and the air blowing unit 40, chocolate, food adhesive, egg white, melted candy, etc., is applied to at least one of the joining parts of the main body 20 and the joining part of the air blowing unit 40. Then, the main body 20 and the air blowing unit 40 are brought together and the chocolate, food adhesive, egg white, candy, etc. are allowed to harden. Furthermore, in order to join the main body 20 and the air blowing part 40, the main body 20 and the air blowing part 40 are butted together, and in this state, the entire main body 20 and the air blowing part 40 are coated with chocolate, food adhesive, egg white, melted candy, etc., and the chocolate, food adhesive, egg white, candy, etc. are allowed to harden.

[0049] Alternatively, the ocarina 10 may be manufactured with the main body 20 and the air blowing part 40 in one piece. For example, the first member forming the surface 20a side of the main body 20 and the first member forming the surface 40a side of the air blowing part 40 may be manufactured as a single piece, and the second member forming the back surface 20b side of the main body 20 and the second member forming the back surface 40b side of the air blowing part 40 may be manufactured as a single piece, and these first and second members may be joined together.

[0050] The ocarina 10 of this embodiment can be played easily and conveniently. Furthermore, since the main body 20 is made of baked goods mainly from wheat or rice, it can be eaten after playing. Also, if the air blowing part 40 is made of candy orラムネ (ramune), it can be eaten after playing. Furthermore, since the ocarina 10 of this embodiment is edible, even people who are not comfortable with musical instruments or children can easily pick it up, thus contributing to an increase in the number of people who love musical instruments (flutes). Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air-blowing section 40, which consists of the mouthpiece 41, embouchure 42, airway 43, and edge 44, where dimensional accuracy is required, is made of candy, ramune, resin, etc., which do not easily melt or soften at the temperature of the environment in which the ocarina 10 is used or stored. Therefore, it can sufficiently secure the pitch required for a musical instrument and can be used for serious performances. Furthermore, because the ocarina 10 of this embodiment has a filling section 50, the tone and pitch can be easily adjusted. If the filling section 50 is made of food, it can be eaten after playing. The taste of the ocarina 10 can be changed depending on the food that forms the filling section 50. Therefore, the ocarina 10 achieves excellent playability as a musical instrument and is also suitable for consumption as a confectionery that can accommodate a variety of flavors.

[0051] The external shape of the ocarina in this invention is not limited to this embodiment. The external shape of the ocarina in this invention may be round, square, or the like, and the number and arrangement of finger holes are also arbitrary. Furthermore, while an ocarina was used as an example of a confectionary modeled after a flute in this embodiment, the confectionary of this invention is not limited to this. The flute in this invention may be an air-reed instrument such as a recorder or flute. Also, the flute in this invention only needs to be able to produce multiple pitches, and does not need to be able to produce every pitch of a musical scale.

[0052] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, an adjustment section 45 may be provided on the outer surface (back surface) 40b of the air blowing section 40, that is, on the surface of the air blowing section 40 on the back surface 20b side of the main body 20, so as to surround the edge 44 on the nozzle 41 side.
