Container for paste or gel candy

Abstract

The present invention is related to a container for paste or gel candy, comprising: a main body geometrically shaped being entirely hollow at its inside and opened at one end to receive and store paste or gel candy; tight closing means being inserted in the main body opened end to perfectly close it and to prevent the vacuum loss at said main body inside and the candy from dripping from said opened end; transferring means located at the opposite end to the main body opened end, which function is to transfer the candy from the container inside to the user's mouth being suctioning or absorbing; and, a cap to close the transferring means. Said main body is formed by one or more pieces and which outer shape may adopt the shape of a figure or image.

1 . A container for paste or gel candy comprising: a main body geometrically shaped being entirely hollow at its inside and opened at one end to receive and store paste candy; tight closing means being inserted in the main body opened end to perfectly close it and to prevent the vacuum loss inside said main body and the candy to drip from the container through said opened end; transferring means located at the opposite end to the main body opened end which function is to transfer the candy from the container inside to the user's mouth being suctioning or absorbing; and a cap to close the transferring means. 
     
     
         2 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body is formed by one or more pieces and which outer shape can adopt the shape of a figure or image. 
     
     
         3 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body is opened at its lower end. 
     
     
         4 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein said main body is opened at its upper end. 
     
     
         5 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein said main body is sectioned lengthwise, having a cylindrically shaped lower section and a hemispherically shaped upper section, wherein said lower section extends upwards from the base until reaching the upper section. 
     
     
         6 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 5 , wherein said lower section includes a plurality of equally spaced and distributed columns one from the other, wherein each spacing or hollow is in the form of a half-point-arch to lighten the container weight and to work as a support when this is in its vertical position; in addition, each one of said columns includes at its lower end a plurality of protrusions disposed contiguously one to the other. 
     
     
         7 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 6 , wherein at the upper part of each half-point-arch there are located bumpers in the shape of half cane, functioning to prevent that the tight closing means be thrown outside if the user, instead of suctioning, blows inside the container. 
     
     
         8 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein the transferring means are integrally joined to the main body being centrally located in said upper section such that said transferring means longitudinal central axis coincides with the main body longitudinal central axis. 
     
     
         9 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 8 , wherein said transferring means are attached to the cap by means of a weakening section serving as a breaking point to space apart said transferring means from said cap. 
     
     
         10 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 9 , wherein the transferring means are formed by a hollow cylinder portion allowing to obtain the candy hold inside the container. 
     
     
         11 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein the cap has a cylindrical shape with an outer diameter shorter than the hollow cylinder portion inner diameter of the transferring means, which upper end is hemispherically shaped. 
     
     
         12 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 11 , wherein the cap includes a pair of projections diametrically opposed one to the other, which serve as a support for the user's fingers at the time of detaching said cap from the transferring means. 
     
     
         13 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 11 , wherein when the cap has been detached from the transferring means, it is used to reclose the container by inserting it in the transferring means, and for this purpose, the position of the cap is reversed by rotating it 180° from its starting position and inserting it by its hemispherical upper end in the transferring means, thereby reclosing the container. 
     
     
         14 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein the tight closing means are an element formed by two sections, the first section being cylindrically shaped and a second section being conical frustum shaped, which upper end has a planar face and its perimetric wall has a hemispherical shape. 
     
     
         15 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 14 , wherein the first section outer diameter is shorter than the main body inner diameter, such that the closing means snap-fit in the main body opened end forming a tight closure to prevent the vacuum loss inside said body and that the candy drips in the possible remaining space between said first section and said main body inner wall. 
     
     
         16 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 14 , wherein the perimetric wall of the second section has the same curvature than the inner face of the main body upper section to allow said second section to suitable couple to said upper section and thereby achieving the higher drawing and dispensing efficacy of the paste or gel candy. 
     
     
         17 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein the main body is cylindrically shaped having a perimetric wall extending from the base upwards to said main body upper end and includes a perimetric rib located at its upper end, which projects inside the cylindrical body functioning as a bumper to prevent that the tight closing means comes out from the main body if the user, instead of suctioning, blows inside the container. 
     
     
         18 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 1 , wherein the transferring means are located at the main body perimetric wall, proximal to the base and having the shape of a hollow cylindrical duct extending from said perimetric wall to the main body outside. 
     
     
         19 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 18 , wherein in order to transfer the candy from the transferring means to the user's mouth, a conical frustum shaped hollow duct is used being inserted in said transferring means. 
     
     
         20 . A container for paste or gel candy according to  claim 19 , wherein the hollow duct includes a rabbet or diameter lowering at its bigger diameter end and a rim perimetrically located at the edge of said bigger diameter end, which functions as an arrester to prevent that said hollow duct comes out of place when being inserted inside the transferring means.
