Abstract
A cover enclosing retracted confectionery includes an elongated housing with hinged covers adjacent the top for movement between closed and open positions with a central shaft, actuator having a plug received at the bottom portion of the housing and disposed along the central axis. In an embodiment, the plug is coupled at the bottom end of the central shaft for movement of the plug with the central shaft with respect to the housing. The plug incorporates a bias incorporated as a single unitary member and may define an opening both for locking engagement elements and advantageously allowing a lollipop confectionary to pass. In alternate embodiments the central shaft incorporates together as a single unitary member.
Claims20
A covered retracted confectionery apparatus comprising:
- an elongated housing having an exterior surface centrally defining an open interior with a central axis extending through the interior, the housing defining a top portion and a bottom portion at opposite ends of the central axis;
- a central shaft having a top end and a bottom end correspondingly being disposed along the central axis of the housing, the central shaft mounted for movement between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the housing;
- an actuator at the exterior surface of the housing for activation;
- a pair of covers hinged at the top portion of the housing, each of the covers in mechanical communication with the central shaft via activation of the actuator for movement of the central shaft with corresponding movement of the covers between a first closed position and a second open position;
- a confectionery receiving structure at the top end of the central shaft, the pair of covers for enclosing the confectionary with the covers in the first closed position and revealing the confectionary with the covers in the second open position;
- and
- a plug received at the bottom portion of the housing and disposed along the central axis, the plug being coupled at the bottom end of the central shaft for movement of the plug with the central shaft with respect to the housing along the central axis, the plug incorporating a bias with the bias and the plug incorporated as a single unitary member.
A covered retracted confectionery apparatus, comprising:
- an elongated housing having an exterior surface centrally defining an open interior with a central axis extending through the interior, the housing defining a top portion and a bottom portion at opposite ends of the central axis;
- a central shaft having a top end and a bottom end correspondingly being disposed along the central axis of the housing, the central shaft mounted for movement between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the housing;
- an actuator at the exterior surface of the housing for mechanical activation;
- a pair of covers hinged at the top portion of the housing, each of the covers in mechanical communication with the central shaft;
- a confectionery receiving structure at the top end of the central shaft, the pair of covers for enclosing the confectionary;
- and
- a plug received at the bottom portion of the housing and disposed along the central axis, the plug incorporating a bias with the bias and the plug incorporated as a single unitary member.
A covered retracted confectionery method comprising:
- providing an exterior surface centrally defining an open interior with a central axis extending through the interior of an housing, the housing defining a top portion and a bottom portion at opposite ends of the central axis;
- disposing a central shaft correspondingly along the central axis of the housing, the central shaft having a top end and a bottom end and being mounted for movement between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the housing;
- actuating structure for activation at the exterior surface of the housing;
- hinging a pair of covers at the top portion of the housing for the activation responsive to the actuating structure, each of the covers in mechanical communication with the central shaft via the activation for movement of the central shaft with corresponding movement of the covers between a first closed position and a second open position;
- receiving a confectionery structure at the top end of the central shaft, the pair of covers for enclosing the confectionary with the covers in the first closed position and revealing the confectionary with the covers in the second open position;
- and
- receiving a plug at the bottom portion of the housing and disposed along the central axis, the plug being coupled at the bottom end of the central shaft for movement of the plug with the central shaft with respect to the housing along the central axis, the plug having a bias and defining an aperture incorporated therewith accommodating the confectionery.
