Abstract

[Problem] To provide confectionery with improved appeal. [Solution] The confectionery 1 comprises a main body 10, a character part 20 formed on the main body 10, and a background part formed on the main body 10 around the character part 20. The character part 20 is composed of multiple parts, and the main body 10 has either a first type of groove 41 or a second type of groove 42 with different widths formed between the parts. The groove 40 has parts with different widths, which makes it possible to increase the difficulty of breaking the confectionery. [Selection Diagram] Figure 1

Description

This invention relates to confectionery. Conventionally, as a confectionery, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a puzzle chocolate characterized by "pouring molten chocolate into a mold, solidifying a chocolate confectionery with a peripheral shape conforming to the inside of the mold, a three-dimensional shape and pattern on the surface along the bottom of the mold, and a required thickness, and then dividing this chocolate confectionery into a required number of pieces by cutting lines that intersect in the vertical and horizontal directions at required intervals." Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-61289 This is a plan view of a confectionery according to one embodiment of the present invention.Figure 1 is a perspective view of the confectionery shown.This is a cross-sectional view of the portion along line A-A in Figure 1.This is a plan view showing the state when the character part of the confectionery has been successfully divided and separated.This is a plan view of the character section shown in Figure 4, after it has been further divided.This is a plan view showing the state when the character part identification fails.Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the method of disassembly when the failure condition is shown. Hereinafter, a confectionery product according to one aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to the figures. Figure 1 is a plan view of confectionery 1. Figure 2 is a perspective view of confectionery 1. The confectionery 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is made of chocolate as the confectionery material, and is, for example, a rectangular chocolate confectionery with four sides (left, right, top, and bottom). A character part 20 is formed approximately in the center of the rectangular confectionery 1 in plan view. A first background part 31 and a second background part 32 are provided around the character part 20 as background parts. In this embodiment, the first background section 31 and the second background section 32 have different colors from the character section 20, for example, and are arranged to decorate the central character section 20. The background section is divided into the first background section 31 and the second background section 32 based on its protruding height and color. The first background section 31 has, for example, a flat section 31a on which no pattern is formed, and a patterned section 31b on which a polygon (including a hexagon) is formed by a third type of groove 43. Furthermore, the first background section 31 surrounds almost the entire circumference of the character section 20 and is configured to be the thinnest (see Figure 3). On the other hand, the second background section 32 is located below the character section 20 and has a configuration in which character information is written in a text information section 32a. In this embodiment, the character part 20 is composed of multiple parts (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28), and its color scheme also consists of multiple colors. For example, the head and the area around the head are composed of the first part 21, the second part 22, the third part 23, and the fourth part 24, while the chest and shoulders are composed of the fifth part 25, the sixth part 26, the seventh part 27, and the eighth part 28. In this embodiment, the character portion 20 has a first type of groove 41 formed between it and the surrounding background portions 31 and 32, which constitute its outline. Furthermore, a first type of groove 41 and a second type of groove 42 are provided between each individual part, separating them from one another. As will be described later, these first type of groove 41 and the second type of groove 42 have a depth such that the confectionery 1 also bites into the main body portion 10 from the surface side 1f. The groove 40 comprises a first type of groove 41 that separates the parts with approximately the same width, a second type of groove 42 formed with a wider width than the first type of groove 41, and a third type of groove 43 configured to have the smallest depth and width. In descriptions where the type of groove is not specified, the grooves 41, 42, and 43 are collectively referred to as groove 40. The second type of groove 42 is formed, for example, as a single region in the central part of the character section 20. This second type of groove 42 is formed between four parts, for example, the third part section 23, the fourth part section 24, the sixth part section 26, and the seventh part section 27, and is connected to four first type grooves 41, as shown in the figure. Thus, the grooves 40 separating the parts are mostly formed as first type grooves 41, with only one second type groove 42 formed. Furthermore, since the first type of groove 41 is designed to mimic the outer edge between two parts, it includes curved and straight sections, resulting in a configuration where each section has a different length. Therefore, the first type of groov
