Definitions
- the present invention relates to a confectionary container.
- Confectionary is popular throughout all societies, and children are a major consumer of confectionary. Children also require entertaining with toys and games, but there are relatively few games involving confectionary.
- the present invention seeks to address this issue.
- Examples prior art containers include those disclosed in WO2002/44057 , US5356035 , US5988424 , WO2007/072123 , GB2277511 , AT368096 , US1513773 , CA2502492 , US5064073 and US2006/079355 .
- the container may have indicia printed on its upper surface, and by forming the egress between the upper surface and the domed base or on the domed base contamination of the chamber owing to the printing process is avoided, thereby allowing loose confectionary to be stored inside the chamber. Furthermore, by providing such an egress the top of the container may remain a flat unbroken surface to aid playing games as described below as snagging of items of confectionary on an egress closure is avoided.
- the egress is spaced from the upper surface.
- the egress is openable and closable by means of a slidably mounted covering.
- the covering is mounted within the chamber.
- a covering is releasably retained in a position wherein the egress is closed by a protrusion mating with a recess.
- the protrusion is formed on the covering and the recess is formed on an inner wall of the chamber.
- the protrusion is formed on an inner wall of the chamber and the recess is formed on the covering.
- the egress is provided by the upper surface being hingeably attached to the domed base.
- the confectionary container is formed of a plastic material.
- a confectionary container 1 comprises a domed base 2 and a substantially flat and circular upper surface 3.
- domed base 2 is continuously curved. That is to say that it does not comprise a flattened portion to rest upon, but instead has minimal contact with a surface upon which it rests, thereby allowing for container 1 to be freely rotated.
- base 2 and upper surface 3 define a chamber for the storage of confectionary.
- Side of domed base comprises substantially rectangular egress 4, which is openable and closable by means of covering 5.
- Covering 5 is curved in profile so as to be slidably mounted on an internal wall of domed base 2.
- Covering 5 comprises a grip 6 that projects outwardly and allows a user to readily slide covering 5 between a first position wherein egress 4 is closed and a second position wherein egress 4 is open.
- Covering 5 further comprises a domed protrusion 7 that mates with a recess (not shown) formed on the internal wall of domed base 2 so as to releasably retain covering 5 in its first position.
- Domed base 2, upper surface 3 and covering 5 are all formed of a plastics material.
- Upper surface 3 may have printed thereon one or more indicia, which may be promotional images and text or other markings.
- Owing to confectionary container 1 being rotatable upon its domed base container 1 may be used to play a variety of games, two of which will now be described for illustrative purposes.
- a first player may then open egress 4 by moving covering 5 from its first position to its second position, and remove a piece of confectionary from the chamber of container 1.
- the player may then balance the piece of confectionary on the upper surface 3 of container 1 and then spin the container.
- each player is each provided with a number of pieces of confectionary. Again a minimum number of revolutions that a person is required to spin the container on their turn is determined at the outset of the game.
- a first player bets a chosen number of pieces of confectionary by positioning them on upper surface 3 and then spins container 1
- the minimum number of revolutions is obtained by a player the number of pieces of confectionary that they gambled are donated to the first player by the second player.
- the second player then takes a turn to bet a chosen amount of confectionary.
- egress 4 is located on the side of domed base 2, thereby allowing container 1 to be filled with loose confectionary.
- a container 8 comprises a domed base 9 and a substantially flat and circular upper surface 10.
- Upper surface 10 is attached by hinge 17 to domed base 9 such that in its first position upper surface 10 acts as a lid to domed base 9 and when hinged away from domed base 9 into a second position (as illustrated in Figure 6 ) an egress into chamber 11 is provided.
- the egress of container 8 is therefore formed between upper surface 10 and domed base 9.
- notch 16 is formed in the exterior wall of domed base 9. Notch 16 is positioned diametrically opposite hinge 17.
