Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to brown sugar containing so-called molasses.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Brown sugar is known as a souvenir in the Okinawa region, but when it is cooled and solidified from the molten state, it is crushed into stones or cut into squares with vertical and horizontal cutting lines. In many cases, about 200 grams are packed into a bag as it is. It is also known that melted brown sugar is put into a triangular mold and molded into a triangular shape.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, brown sugar, unlike candy, is fragile and easily crumbles. As a result, in the conventional brown sugar as described above, a lot of brown sugar cakes are packed and packed in one cellophane bag, so that the brown sugars rub against each other during storage or transportation. , Powder or granular waste is generated or cracked. As a result, the commercial value will decrease and the willingness to purchase will decrease. Also, it does not look good as a packaging form and is not suitable as a souvenir.

Also, when eating, once the bag is opened, it is not possible to eat all at once, so a rubber band or the like is wrapped around the opening and temporarily sealed to preserve the remaining brown sugar. However, there is also the problem that it does not look good, and once opened, it becomes damp and easy.

It is also known that brown sugar having a small size of about one bit is sealed one by one in a vinyl bag. In this case as well, a large number of brown sugars, which are sealed one by one, are packed in a large bag, so if they are rubbed against each other or impacted, the corners may be chipped and scraps may be generated. Occur. Also, when they are displayed for sale, the packaging is inferior, which does not lead to an increase in purchasing will.

Even when carrying and eating, one would carry several brown sugars packaged one by one in a pocket or the like, but this is clumsy and unclean.

[0007] Brown sugar contains rare nutrients such as natural minerals, and despite its high reputation as an alkaline health food, the reason why the sales amount does not increase is as described above. This is due to the lack of ingenuity in sales that motivates them.

The technical problem of the present invention is to eliminate such problems in the conventional brown sugar, and to improve the shape, size and packaging so as to increase the willingness to purchase.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 These problems are solved by the following means. That is, the invention of claim 1 is brown sugar which is poured into a circular mold having a diameter of 4 cm or less and solidified so as not to have a corner.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a plurality of recesses with a diameter of 4 cm or less are formed on a transparent sheet made of synthetic resin, and circular brown sugar with a diameter of less than 4 cm is put in each recess and sealed with a cover film. It is brown sugar.

A third aspect of the present invention is brown sugar in which a plurality of circular brown sugars are stacked and stored in a cylindrical transparent container having a bottom and a cap is covered.

A fourth aspect of the present invention is brown sugar in which a polygonal transparent container having a bottom portion is covered with a plurality of polygonal brown sugars having the same number of corners as the container and the cap is covered. .

The invention of claim 5 is brown sugar in which a desiccant is incorporated in the container of claim 3 or 4.

The invention of claim 6 is brown sugar in which a figure such as a landscape or an animal or plant is molded into a relief shape on at least the surface of a circular plate-shaped brown sugar having a diameter of 5 cm or more.

[0015]

[Action]

 When the brown sugar is poured into a circular mold having a diameter of 4 cm or less and solidified so as not to have a corner as in claim 1, there are no protrusions or corners. Even if they rub against each other, particles or powder due to abrasion are unlikely to be generated, and as a result, deterioration of quality can be prevented.

In the case of brown sugar with protrusions or horns, when placed in the mouth, the protrusions or horns may hit the inner surface of the mouth and may hurt. No matter what size it is, there are no protrusions or corners, so it won't hurt when put in the mouth.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a plurality of recesses having a diameter of 4 cm or less are formed on a transparent sheet made of synthetic resin, and each of the recesses is filled with a circular brown sugar having a diameter of less than 4 cm to form a cover film. With a sealed structure, the packaging form is smart, which leads to increased purchasing motivation and can be expected to increase consumption.

Even if you carry it in your pocket etc., it will not look bad, and since each recess contains only one brown sugar, you can break the cover film and eat one by one. Since the concave part is not opened, there is no danger of getting damp. Multiple brown sugars are packaged in a flat package that does not come apart, making it convenient to carry.

Even if the inner surface of the recess is rubbed, no protrusions or corners are present on the outer surface of the brown sugar or the inner surface of the recess, so that generation of powder or particles due to abrasion can be suppressed, and deterioration of quality can be prevented. it can.

[0020] As in claim 3, in the case where a plurality of circular brown sugars having a diameter of less than 4 cm are stacked and stored in a cylindrical transparent container having a diameter of 4 cm or less and having a cap, The packaging style is smart, which leads to an increase in purchasing motivation and can be expected to increase consumption.

It is also suitable for carrying in a pocket etc. Even if the brown sugar is rubbed with each other or the inner surface of the container, there are no protrusions or corners on the outer surface of the brown sugar or the inner surface of the container. Generation of powder and particles due to wear can be suppressed, and quality deterioration can be prevented.

Also in the case of a structure in which a plurality of polygonal brown sugars having the same number of corners as the container are stacked and stored in a polygonal transparent container having a bottom portion as in claim 4, and a cap is covered, Similar to the case of claim 3, the packaging form is smart, which leads to an increase in purchasing will and an increase in consumption can be expected.

It is also suitable for carrying in a pocket etc. Even if the brown sugar rubs against each other or the inner surface of the container, the position corresponding to the corner of the polygonal brown sugar is dented on the inner surface of the container. Since it does not hit the corners, it is possible to suppress the generation of powder and particles due to wear and prevent deterioration of quality.

Since the desiccant is incorporated in the container according to claim 3 or 4 as in claim 5, even when the container is opened once, it is possible to prevent the brown sugar inside from being moistened.

[0025] As described in claim 6, since at least the surface of a round and plate-shaped brown sugar having a diameter of 5 cm or more is molded into a relief shape with a figure such as a landscape or an animal or plant, the place of sale or By expressing the landscapes, flora and fauna related to the production area in relief, it is suitable as a souvenir and can contribute to sales promotion. In addition, since there are no protrusions or corners, it is possible to suppress the generation of powder or particles by rubbing against the inner surface of the packaging means, and to prevent quality deterioration.

【Example】

 Next, practical examples of how the brown sugar according to the present invention is embodied will be described with reference to examples. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of brown sugar according to the present invention, wherein 1 is a small round brown sugar and 2 is a large round brown sugar.

The small round brown sugar 1 is suitable for eating in one bite, and usually has a diameter of about 2 to 4 cm, especially about 3 cm. The thickness is preferably about 2 to 3 mm to 8 to 9 mm.

2 is also round brown sugar, but its diameter is preferably 5 to 6 cm or more. The thickness is preferably about 5 to 6 mm to 10 mm. On the surface of this large round brown sugar 2, figures such as landscapes and flora and fauna are molded in a relief shape.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a method for producing round brown sugar. (1) of FIG. 2 is a perspective view, and the concave portion 3 corresponding to the size of the circular brown sugar to be molded is formed in the metal mold. That is, in the case of molding the small circular brown sugar 1 of FIG. 1, the recess 3 has an inner diameter and a depth corresponding to the diameter and thickness thereof.

(2) and (3) of FIG. 2 are sectional views of the mold of FIG. 2 (1). In (2), the concave portion 3 is formed by grinding or casting on a metal plate having a constant thickness. On the other hand, in (3), the concave portion 3 is formed by pressing a metal plate.

In the case of molding the large round brown sugar 2 of FIG. 1, the recess 3 has an inner diameter and a depth corresponding to the diameter and thickness of the large round brown sugar 2. Then, on the bottom surface 3b of the concave portion 3, figures such as landscapes and animals and plants are formed in advance with unevenness. Therefore, by pouring the melted brown sugar and cooling it, the graphic 4 such as the scenery or the flora and fauna is shaped like a relief on the surface of the large round brown sugar 2.

As described above, brown sugar with ginger or mugwort may be prepared by mixing ginger, mugwort, turmeric, aloe, morohaya, etc. prior to molding the round brown sugar. .

The method for producing round brown sugar according to the present invention is basically the same as the conventional method for producing brown sugar, in which so-called molasses crude sugar (raw sugar) and molasses are mixed in an appropriate ratio, It is melted by heating, poured into a mold, cooled and molded. In addition, it is advisable to mix the starch syrup with about one-tenth of the molasses raw sugar.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are views exemplifying the packaging form of small round brown sugar 1. In FIG. 3 (1), 5 is a transparent sheet made of synthetic resin, and a plurality of recesses 6 having a diameter of about 2 to 4 cm are formed. Reference numeral 7 is a cover film made of aluminum foil or the like, and the concave portion 6 can be sealed by heating and pressing.

That is, after inserting the small circular brown sugar 1 into each recess 6, the cover film 7 is covered and heated and pressed, and the area other than the recess 6 of the transparent sheet 5 and the cover film 7 are heated and bonded. By sealing the recess 6 by doing so, a flat package as shown in FIG. 3B is completed.

FIG. 3 (3) is an inverted perspective view of the flat package of FIG. 3 (2). Since the synthetic resin sheet 5 in which the recess 6 is formed is transparent, a small circular inside is formed. You can see brown sugar 1. When eating, pressing the bottom of the recess 6 from the outside will break the cover film 7 made of amyl foil by the small circular brown sugar 1 inside, so take out the small circular brown sugar 1 inside. You can In this way, since each recess 6 is hermetically sealed by the cover film 7, it is possible to prevent the remaining brown sugar from becoming damp.

In FIG. 4, a plurality of the small circular brown sugars 1 described above are placed in a cylindrical transparent container 8 in an overlapping manner. Inside the cap 9 that closes the opening of the cylindrical container 8, there is a desiccant storage chamber 10 in which a desiccant 11 is incorporated.

Since the desiccant storage chamber 10 has a through hole communicating with the inside of the cylindrical container 8, moisture in the container 8 is adsorbed by the desiccant 11. The desiccant 11 may be incorporated in the bottom of the cylindrical container 8.

Although the container 8 and the brown sugar contained therein in FIG. 4 are circular, the container 8 may be a polygonal tube. In this case, the brown sugar contained in the container is also polygonal with the same number of corners as the container. For example, if the transparent container is a hexagonal cylinder, the brown sugar contained in it is also hexagonal. The size of the polygonal brown sugar in this case is about the same as that of the small round brown sugar 1.

As described above, when the small brown or polygonal brown sugar is contained in a tubular or flat package, it can be carried and taken out at any time. Moreover, since each brown sugar is a small size of about one bite, you can eat it in good condition. In addition, it has a round shape and has no corners or protrusions, so it feels good and is easy to eat.

5 to 7 are views exemplifying the packaging form of the large round brown sugar 2. FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a package having only one transparent window, (1) is a perspective view and (2) is a vertical sectional view. Reference numeral 12 is a packaging box made of, for example, cardboard, which is somewhat larger than the outer diameter of the large round brown sugar 2. A circular window hole 13 is formed in the center of the front side so that the large circular black brown sugar 2 inside can be seen, and a transparent sheet 14 is attached from the inside.

Therefore, by incorporating one large round brown sugar 2 or about 2 to 3 sheets in this square box 12 in a stacked manner, airtightness is maintained and through a transparent window. , Large round brown sugar 2 inside can be seen. If you have relief-shaped figures such as landscapes and animals and plants on the surface, you can see them through the transparent window, so you can choose your favorite figure.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view in which only one large round brown sugar 2 is contained in a packaging bag 15 made of transparent cellophane paper or the like. This figure is a perspective view seen from the back side, and the figure is molded on the surface of the large round brown sugar 2 in a relief shape.

In FIG. 7, four transparent windows 13 are provided in one packaging box 16, and a large round brown sugar 2 is incorporated in each transparent window 13. That is, a packaging box 16 of a size capable of arranging four large round brown sugars 2 in a plane is used, and four window holes 13 are formed on the inner surface of the box lid. Then, a transparent sheet 14 is attached from the inner surface thereof, and partitions 17 are provided between the respective compartments.

Therefore, by inserting a large round brown sugar 2 inside each window 13 and partitioning the space with a partition 17, the brown sugars 2 directly collide with each other, rub against each other, or crack. It is possible to prevent generation of abrasion powder and particles. It is preferable that each transparent window 13 has a large round brown sugar 2 with a different relief pattern. The number of large round brown sugars 2 built in each transparent window 13 may be one or two or three.

When the boxes are built in boxes 12 and 16 as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the boxes 12 and 16 contain brown sugar once packed in transparent bags one by one or a few pieces each. The airtightness can be maintained and moisture can be prevented more reliably.

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the large round brown sugar 2. In the case of a large, disk-shaped black sand sugar 2, there is a problem that it is easily broken because it is plate-shaped. Therefore, in FIG. 8 (1), a leaf of Otani Watari is inserted in the center of the large round brown sugar 2.

That is, as described with reference to FIG. 2, when pouring molten brown sugar into a mold, after pouring about half the amount, a circularly cut "Otani Watari" leaf 18 is placed on it. , Pour the remaining brown sugar over it. When cooled and solidified in this state, a leaf 18 over Otani as a core is in the middle, as shown in Fig. 8 (1).

Since the Otani Watari leaf 18 is fibrous, the large round brown sugar 2 can be mechanically reinforced to prevent cracking. Moreover, since the leaves 18 over Otani can be eaten, there is no problem. It should be noted that Otani Watari is an example, and leaves of other plants may be used as cores.

FIG. 8 (2) is an example in which plant fiber 19 is mixed in brown sugar. The fiber component of the plant improves the brittleness of brown sugar and prevents it from cracking. As the plant fiber 19, mugwort and other plant fibers are effective.

[0051]

[Effect of device]

 As in claim 1, brown sugar poured into a circular mold having a diameter of about 2 to 4 cm and hardened so as not to have horns has no protrusions or corners. Even if they rub against each other, it is less likely to generate wear particles or powder that would deteriorate the quality. Also, no matter how big the size of one mouth is, there are no protrusions or corners, so it feels good when put in the mouth.

As described in claim 2, a flat sheet is prepared by forming a plurality of recesses each having a diameter of about 2 to 4 cm on a transparent sheet made of synthetic resin, containing small round brown sugar 1, and sealing with a cover film. In the case of the package structure, the packaging form is smart, which leads to an increase in purchasing will.
