Variable vibrating candy holder

Abstract

Variable vibrating candy holder comprising a handle housing a battery power source with a switch and joined to the handle through a resilient coupling, there is a variable vibrating device, consisting in, but not limited to, a small motor inside a plastic case, onto whose shaft, pointing away from the user's face, is securely attached a rotary element provided with an eccentric mass which can be displaced to modify the amplitude of vibration, while in opposite direction, pointing toward the user's face there is a support to which is attached a replaceable sucker candy, in such a manner, that when the user turns on the power, the unbalanced rotary element vibrates transmitting an amusing vibration motion to the candy, and this toy can be combined with other miniature devices to provide diverse effects such as blinking colored lights, pleasant sounds and gentle scented breeze.

1 ) A variable vibrating candy holder comprising: 
 a handle housing a power source consisting in appropriate batteries, and a miniature power switch;    a separate adjustable vibrating device, connected at a convenient angle to the upper part of the handle by a resilient tubular coupling;    and a candy holding element connected to the vibrating device case, to which are securely attached replaceable sucker candies pointing toward the user's face, such that when the variable vibrating candy holder is turned on, it imparts a pleasant vibration motion directly to the attached sucker candy, being the amplitude of said vibration motion adjustable, increasing the amusing effect while the candy is sucked by the user.    
   
   
       2 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the adjustable vibrating device consists in, but is not limited to, a properly shaped case at a convenient angle and distance above the handle, into which is encased a small electric motor, driving an unbalanced element hereafter, referred to as rotor, attached to the motor shaft which protrudes out of said case in a direction opposite to the user's face.  
   
   
       3 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 2 , wherein said rotor is provided with an eccentric mass, whose radial distance to the axis of rotation is adjustable by the user turning said eccentric mass like a nut along a radial threaded screw-like element, varying the amplitude or intensity of the vibration motion in direct proportion to the radial distance of said eccentric mass to the axis of rotation of the rotor.  
   
   
       4 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the resilient tubular coupling between the handle and the variable vibrating device consists in, but is not limited to, a tubular bellow made of any suitable resilient material conveniently joining the vibrating device case with the upper end of said handle minimizing the vibration effect transmitted to said handle when the vibrating device is turned on and at the same time said resilient tubular coupling covers and protects the flexible electric cables connecting the vibrating device to the power source in the handle.  
   
   
       5 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the candy holding element consists in, but is not limited to, a resilient socket properly fixed to the vibrating device case, and to which is securely attached at a convenient angle toward the user's face, a replaceable sucker candy, in such a manner that the vibration motion is directly transmitted to the attached candy while it is being consumed by the user, increasing its amusing effect.  
   
   
       6 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the rotor is provided with miniature radial fan blades, such that when the holder is operating, a pleasant gentle breeze conveying the candy fragrance is directed toward the user's face.  
   
   
       7 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the operation of the vibrating device after turned on by the user, is controlled by a miniature electronic device limiting to a pre-established period of time the duration of the operation cycle.  
   
   
       8 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein miniature sound and/or light emission devices, are conveniently mounted anywhere on the candy holder, enhancing its amusing effect.  
   
   
       9 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 8 , wherein the sound and light emission devices are powered by appropriate power sources such as, but not limited to, replaceable batteries controlled through appropriate miniature electronic circuits which are activated by suitable motion switches.  
   
   
       10 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , which is built as a reusable device, provided with a removable cap to replace the batteries.  
   
   
       11 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , which is provided with an appropriate cover to protect the candy when it is not being consumed.  
   
   
       12 ) A variable vibrating candy holder as defined in  claim 1 , which is provided with a necklace to hang it around the neck whenever the user interrupts the consumption of the candy for a short time.
