Segmented Gummy Mold Design for Consistent Dose Separation

The patent transforms the physical form of the dosage from traditional solid pills/capsules into gummy candies with specific mechanical properties. The gummies are formulated to have a firm yet pliable texture that allows easy handling and consumption, particularly for individuals with swallowing difficulties. This parameter change in physical state and mechanical properties directly improves ease of operation while maintaining dosing reliability through precise formulation.

The gummy products are designed with engineered segmentation features including tear lines and break points that allow the product to be divided into precise dosage portions. This segmentation enables consumers to easily separate and consume specific doses without compromising the integrity of the remaining product, thereby improving both ease of operation and dosing compliance simultaneously.

The segmentation features such as tear lines and break points are pre-engineered into the gummy product during the molding process. This preliminary action of creating weak points and separation zones in advance allows consumers to easily divide the gummies into doses without requiring complex separation mechanisms or tools, thereby improving ease of operation while the mold complexity is managed through upfront design.

The mold design incorporates localized features such as specific cavity geometries, tear lines, and break point structures in targeted areas of the gummy product. Rather than making the entire mold complex, only specific local regions are designed with segmentation features, allowing easy separation where needed while maintaining simplicity in other areas of the molding process.
