Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a protective structure for flammable materials in a match for cake that improves food safety. More specifically, it relates to a protective structure for flammable materials in a match that improves food safety by completely blocking direct and indirect contact with the ignition part of the sulfur material widely attached to the tip of the match when the match is packaged with food such as a cake to light a celebratory fire by inserting a candle on the cake, thereby fundamentally resolving unsanitary elements, while also effectively preventing damage to the matchstick contained inside through a tight packaging state, thereby enabling safe storage and transportation. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, anniversaries are intended to commemorate meaningful days, which are celebrated through various parties and events. In the past, people traditionally made all kinds of rice cakes to celebrate these occasions; however, with the influx of foreign cultures, there has been an increasing trend of using cakes instead. When celebrating with a round cake, candles and matches are enclosed in the cake box so that the person being commemorated can light a candle in the center and blow it out while making a wish. Since matches are made of flammable materials, they have typically been packaged in separate plastic bags and placed inside the cake box to prevent contact between the ignition tip—which usually contains sulfur—and the cake. However, using matches packaged in such plastic bags leads to significant labor waste and excessive costs, making improvement in this practice urgently needed.

[0003] For example, according to Korean Registered Utility Model No. 0465377 (Prior Art 1), ‘a cake knife equipped with a match, wherein a match (108) is provided on the handle portion of the cake knife (100), wherein a match storage portion (105) in the form of a perforated portion of the handle portion of the cake knife (100) is formed, a match holder groove (106) in which a match is inserted and fixed is formed on one side of the match storage portion (105), and a match holder portion (103) is formed with an insertion hole (104) into which a lit match is inserted at the end of the blade portion (102) of the cake knife (100).’

[0004] However, although the cake knife of the aforementioned prior art 1 is configured to accommodate a match, in order to improve the completeness of this configuration, many cake knives must be molded, which causes inconvenience and unexpectedly high costs. Additionally, there is a problem that additional costs may be incurred because the knife must be stored in a separate plastic bag to prevent contact with the cake due to the exposure of the friction part.

[0005] As another example, according to Korean Registered Utility Model No. 0310108 (Prior Art 2), 'a knife for cakes that has a match storage function, characterized by having a match storage space formed in the handle to store matches, a lid (300) placed on the rear of the handle (200) to cover the match storage space (220); and a hinge (250) that integrally connects the handle (200) and the lid (300).'

[0006] However, the knife with a match storage function of the aforementioned prior art 2 also has a problem in that it is inconvenient and incurs unexpected costs because the cake knife molding process must be performed by forming a space in the handle part to accommodate the match. Prior art literature

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0017] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0018] The present invention relates to a protective structure for a match for a cake, for lighting a candle after inserting it into a cake, and comprises a case part (10), an opening / closing part (20), an ignition means (30), and a fixing means (40) as main components.

[0019] The case portion (10) according to the present invention is provided with a receiving hole (11) and a receiving space (12) to allow for the storage of multiple matches (1) inside. The case portion (10) is provided with a receiving space (12) that forms a certain space to allow for the storage of one or more matches (1), and is provided with a receiving hole (11) so that the matches (1) can be introduced into the receiving space (12). In the case of the matches (1) stored in the case portion (10), the part where the sulfur material (2) is widely coated is generally stored first and positioned opposite to the ignition means (30) to prevent the risk of fire; however, in the case of the present invention, it is acceptable for the matches (1) to be stored in the opposite direction due to the configuration of the opening / closing portion (20), ignition means (30), and fixing means (40) described later.

[0020] At this time, the receiving space (12) of the case part (10) is characterized by being formed in a divided configuration to enable safe storage of the match (1). The case part (10) is to accommodate one or more matches (1) as a receiving space (12). Since the match (1) has a risk factor that may cause a fire, the receiving space (12) is formed in a configuration that is divided vertically to enable safe storage and to prevent this in advance, and then the match (1) is accommodated in the lower part of the receiving space (12). This ensures safety by accommodating the match in the lower part of the receiving space (12), which is divided so that it is far from the ignition means (30) to be described later, which is formed on the upper side of the case part (10).

[0021] In addition, the opening / closing part (20) according to the present invention is formed integrally with the case part (10) and close to the receiving hole (11), and is formed in a foldable shape to prevent the received match (1) from escaping. The opening / closing part (20) is formed integrally with the above-described case part (10) and close to the receiving hole (11), and is configured in a foldable shape to prevent the match (1) stored in the receiving space (12) by the receiving hole (11) from escaping from the receiving hole (11).

[0022] At this time, the case part (10) and the opening / closing part (20) are characterized by being formed from paper or resin material. Since the case part (10) and the opening / closing part (20) are formed integrally, they are generally formed from the same material. However, in addition to paper or resin material, they may be formed from materials with equivalent performance to enable easier manufacturing and production at a lower cost. That is, although it is acceptable to form them from materials other than paper or resin material, if the case part (10) and the opening / closing part (20) are formed from a material with high load capacity, such as a box for packaging a cake, the box may have difficulty withstanding that load and may incur higher costs. Therefore, paper or resin material, which is easy to manufacture with low load capacity and low cost, has a more advantageous advantage.

[0023] Additionally, the ignition means (30) according to the present invention is provided with an ignition part (31) that is ignited by friction with the sulfur material (2) of the match (1) while approaching the receiving hole (11) of the case part (10). The ignition means (30) is provided with an ignition part (31) that is ignited by friction with the sulfur material (2) of the match (1) so that the match (1) stored in the receiving space (12) formed inside the case part (10) can be taken out and lit with a candle, etc.

[0024] At this time, the ignition part (31) of the ignition means (30) is formed on an outer surface adjacent to the receiving hole (11) of the case part (10) so as not to be exposed to the outside and is concealed by the opening / closing part (20), thereby fundamentally preventing contact with food such as cake and improving the safety of the food. This is characterized by forming the location of the ignition part (31) of the ignition means (30) on an outer surface adjacent to the receiving hole (11) of the case part (10), and at this time, the ignition part (31) of the ignition means (30) is concealed so as not to be exposed to the outside while preventing one or more matches (1) from escaping to the outside through the receiving space (12) received by the receiving hole (11) via the opening / closing part (20). In other words, since the ignition part (31) is not exposed to the outside through the opening / closing part (20), contact with food such as cake can be prevented, so there is no need for separate packaging materials such as plastic bags to block the ignition part (31), thereby reducing costs associated with packaging and thus providing an effect of reducing the cost burden.

[0025] Additionally, the fixing means (40) according to the present invention is configured to enable the opening and closing part (20) to be opened and fixed on the case part (10). The fixing means (40) performs the role of fixing the opening and closing part (20) so that the opening and closing part (20), which is formed integrally with the case part (10), prevents the match (1) contained inside the case part (10) from falling out and maintains the concealed state of the ignition part (31).

[0026] At this time, the fixing means (40) is characterized by having one of the following: a fixing groove (41) cut to allow the end of the opening / closing part (20) to be inserted and fixed, and a fixing part (43) formed by an adhesive such as a fixing band (42) or an adhesive. The fixing means (40) performs fixing by inserting the end of the opening / closing part (20), and at this time, it can be formed as a fixing groove (41) or a fixing band (42). First, in the case of the fixing groove (41), it is formed to be in communication with the receiving space (12) so that the opening / closing part (20) can be introduced into the case part (10), and in the case of the fixing band (42), it is formed on the outer surface of the case part (10) so that the opening / closing part (20) can be introduced into the case part (10), thereby preventing the opening / closing part (20) from being opened and the ignition part (31) from being exposed along with the detachment of the match (1). In addition, in the case of the adhesive part (43), an adhesive material such as a separate adhesive is applied so that the ignition part (31) is exposed while attached to each other, thereby greatly improving the safety of food such as cake.

[0027] According to the present invention, when a match used to light a celebratory fire by inserting a candle into a cake is packaged together with a food such as a cake, direct and indirect contact with the ignition part of the sulfur substance widely attached to the tip of the match is completely blocked, thereby improving the safety of the food for the cake and fundamentally resolving unsanitary elements, while also effectively preventing damage to the matchstick contained inside through a tight packaging state, thus enabling safe storage and transportation.

[0028] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments and can be modified and varied in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, such variations or modifications should be considered to fall within the scope of the patent claims of the present invention. Explanation of the symbols
