[0001] IMPROVEMENT OF A TOY WITH LIQUID CANDY

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to the improvement of a toy with liquid candy (roll on) for children, which contains liquid candy, can be played as a toy when finished, and has a roly-poly feature on the base.

[0004] BACKGROUND ART

[0005] "Rolling Candy" toy is a kind of toy with liquid candy inside, which children can enjoy while playing. Liquid sugar, usually in a plastic or transparent container, is moved or spun with the help of a ball inside the toy. Children have fun watching these moving candies and at the same time have a sweet experience while drinking these candies.

[0006] These toys can help children develop hand-eye coordination, focus their attention and learn while having fun. However, there may be issues to be considered during its use. For example, liquid candy should be tightly sealed and children should be accompanied by adult supervision to prevent accidental spillage or accidental drinking.

[0007] A toy with liquid candy could potentially refer to a type of confectionery that is rolled or shaped into small pieces. For example, there are candies such as "fruit rolls" or "fruit by the foot", which are rolled into a thin, flat shape. Also, some types of candy, such as taffy or licorice, can be rolled or twisted into certain shapes. In English it is called "Rolling candy".

[0008] The mold in the currently used products is blow mold. The inner thickness narrows and expands during pressing. The round ball head on the toy with liquid candy is flexed into the socket cavity during assembly. However, if children squeeze or nibble on the socket cavity during use, i.e. apply pressure, the ball protrudes outwards and there is a risk that it can get into the child's throat. In addition, there is no roly-poly feature in currently available products. In the known state of the art, the product is a single piece, i.e. monolithic. During assembly, the ball is inserted into its socket. Therefore, the ball comes out when the product is squeezed.

[0009] However, in the products in the known state of the art, it was observed that the ball used in the product could come out of the head and may get into the children's throats and even get into their throats.

[0010] Some of the products in the prior art have been described hereinbelow. https: / / www. google. com / gasearch?q=rolling%20candy%20choking&tbm=vid&sour ce=sh / x / gs / m2 / 5

[0011] Another problem in the known state of the art is published below: https: / / youtu.be / Y_h7pwF4Y2w?si=ONXWVOaxOkkfjfKD

[0012] Herein below is a link to a news article about a child in which a ball from a toy with liquid candy in the known state of the art got into the child's throat and caused the child to choke and die: https: / / amp.cnn.com / cnn / 2023 / 10 / 05 / business / rolling-candy-recall-choking-candy- dynam ics-cocco / index. htm I

[0013] The problems mentioned above have made it necessary to make a new improvement.

[0014] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The invention relates to the improvement of a toy with liquid candy (roll on) for children, which contains liquid candy, can be played as a toy when finished, and has a roly-poly feature on the base, in order to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field.

[0016] In the invention, the mouth of the socket into which the ball enters is further closed and the round ball of the invention has air holes on both sides. The aim of the invention is to ensure that this ball does not come out of its socket. Even in the very unlikely event that it is came out after long efforts (which it is not the case in normal use), the child will still be able to breathe for emergency intervention and will not choke thanks to the breathing holes in the ball. But for this scenario not to happen, the round ball must not come out of its socket, and the invention achives this. The product according to the invention is not monolithic, but in two parts and the socket head can therefore be closed to the desired extent. The round ball does not come out of its socket and does not get into the child's throat, thanks to the fact that its socket is more closed than in the known state of the art. The ball sits in the socket cavity because it is equipped with tabs.

[0017] The round ball does not come out of the socket because it fits into the main body made by plastic injection with polyethylene (PET) material, instead of the main body made by blow molding method in the known state of the art.

[0018] The subject matter of the invention can also be used as a toy once the child has finished licking the liquid candy. In addition, the inventive product has a weight inside the bottom and has a roly-poly feature and does not tip over thanks to its roly-poly feature.

[0019] The devolepment in the toy with liquid candy of the invention can be manufactured in different sizes, larger and smaller and in different dimensions.

[0044] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0045] The preferred alternatives of the embodiments of the improvement of the toy with liquid candy of the invention, which are mentioned in this detailed description, are only intended for providing a better understanding of the subject-matter, and should not be construed in any restrictive sense.

[0046] The invention relates to an improvement of a toy with liquid candy, and as shown in Figure 1-8, the toy consists of a head structure (10), main body (20), lower body (30), round ball (40), ball head (50). The main body (20) includes an outer channel (21 ) and a lower outer channel (22). The lower body (30) includes a weight location (31 ). The round ball (40) includes air holes (41 ). The ball head (50) includes the upper support (51 ), the lower support (52) and the inner channel (53).

[0047] The toy head structure (10) is the part that forms the head part of the toy, which is attached to the lower outer channel (22) in the main body (20) by turning it. It is attached to the lower outer channel (22) by turning it clockwise. There is also a helical channel inside the toy head structure (10). The lower outer channel (22) is also helical. Therefore, the toy head structure (10) is attached to the lower outer channel (22) by rotation.

[0048] The main body (20) comprises the main structure of the invention. Above the main body (20) is the toy head structure (10) and below is the lower body (30). At the top of the main body (20) is the outer channel (21) through which the ball head (50) passes. Since the ball head (50) is tightly fitted to the outer channel (21 ), there is no chance of the ball head (50) coming off again by the child or the user of the product. The ball head (50) not coming off also naturally prevents the round ball (40) from coming off. There is also an upper support (51 ) inside the ball head (50). The upper support (51 ) contacts the protrusions of the air holes (41 ) of the round ball (40) so that the round ball (40) cannot come out even if the child squeezes the ball head (50) or the main body (20). This is because the upper support (51 ) contacts the protrusions of the air holes (41 ) of the round ball (40) and prevents the round ball (40) from coming out. There is also the lower support

[0049] (52) inside the ball head (50). The lower support (52) is used to prevent the round ball (40) from being pushed down into the protrusions of the air holes (41 ) of the round ball (40). The lower support (52) contacts the protrusions of the air holes (41 ) and prevents the round ball (40) from falling down. There is an inner channel

[0050] (53) at the bottom inside the ball head (50). The inner channel (53) inside the ball head (50) is the structure that prevents the ball head (50) from coming out when it fits into the outer channel (21 ). This inner channel (53) acts as a barrier to prevent the ball head (50) from exiting the outer channel (21 ).

[0051] The round ball (40) has two protrusions on its sides. There are air holes (41 ) inside these protrusions. These air holes (41 ) are located on both sides of the round ball (40). Air holes (41 ) have been developed in case this round ball (40) gets into the child's throat, which is highly undesirable. The air holes (41 ) create an air space inside the ball. Of course, many precautions have been taken to ensure that the round ball (40) is not dislodged. However, even in the very, very unlikely event that it will be dislodged with a lot of effort, breathing is facilitated by the air space in the air holes (41 ).

[0052] The toy head structure (10), main body (20) and lower body (30) are separable, not monolithic.

[0053] At the bottom of the lower body (30), in contact with the ground, there is weight location (31 ). In this weight location (31 ), a weight such as metal is placed and thus, the invention is characterized as roly-poly.

[0054] The inner channel (53) fits over the outer channel (21 ). The inner channel (53) fits into the outer channel (21 ) by means of a protrusion on the outer channel (21 ). Even when the ball head (50) is desired to be pulled up, the aforementioned protruding structure in the inner channel (53) forms a barrier and prevents the inner channel (53) from going up. This ensures that the ball head (50) does not come off.
