Abstract
This invention relates to novelties and in particular to a battery-operated candy holding device. This device has a self-contained power supply that operates a motor and gearing system that produces the proper speed and torque, to spin a piece of candy. After the candy has been consumed, this device may be used as a hand held motorized toy. A noisemaker may be added to provide additional enjoyment by the consumer. The batteries are contained in the handle and are replaceable. The replaceable candy is designed to fit securely over the spindle shaft inside an aperture at the top of the candy holding device.
Claims8
A novelty candy holding device in combination with a piece of candy supported on a stick which comprises;
- a housing,
- an electrical source in said housing,
- an electric motor in said housing,
- an electrical circuitry including said electrical source for operating said electric motor,
- a switch means in said electrical circuitry for controlling current to said electric motor,
- a spindle shaft including first and second ends, each of which are confined and supported within said housing,
- a gearing system in said housing in operative conjunction with said electric motor which rotates said spindle shaft,
- said second end of said spindle shaft engaging one end of said stick upon which the piece of candy is supported.
A novelty candy holding device in combination with a piece of candy supported on a hollow stick which comprises;
- a housing,
- an electrical source in said housing,
- an electric motor in said housing,
- an electrical circuitry including said electrical source for operating said electric motor,
- a switch means in said electrical circuitry for controlling current to said electric motor,
- a spindle shaft including first and second ends contained and supported within said housing,
- a gearing system in said housing which is positively engaged by said electric motor which steps down a rotational speed of said electric motor to build torque for driving said first end of said spindle shaft,
- said second end of said spindle shaft is of an appropriate size engaging one end of said hollow stick which fits securely onto said spindle shaft inside an aperture of said housing for rotating said hollow stick.
