Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an imitation cake.

In general, imitation cakes are used in wedding halls, various party venues, Western confectionery stores, etc., just like real cakes. For conventional imitation cakes, for example, the outer surface of an imitation sponge base (hereinafter simply referred to as a sponge base) made of styrofoam is decorated with cream-like vulcanized rubber, as if decorated with fresh cream or the like. It was decorated. However, if a part of this imitation cake is decorated with vulcanized rubber during use, and if that part is repaired with new vulcanized rubber, the repaired part will not blend in with the surrounding vulcanized rubber decoration. It was obvious that it had been repaired in some way. Therefore,
The people around them would know that the cake itself was an imitation, and the repaired imitation cake could not be reused at wedding halls, party halls, etc.

In addition, in manufacturing the imitation cake, cream-like vulcanized rubber must be squeezed out in the same way as fresh cream and various decorations must be applied to the sponge base, so the decorations cannot be easily made by anyone. It had to be done by a skilled person such as a cake maker.

This invention was devised in view of the problems of conventional imitation cakes as described above, and its purpose is to solve the above problems and to create a molded plastic cake instead of the conventional vulcanized rubber. The aim is to provide an imitation cake with decorations made of wood on a sponge base.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1, numeral 1 is a sponge base formed into a short cylinder shape from an elastic member such as styrofoam, and the sponge base 1 is formed into a shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is decorated with plastic material 2. Specifically, the plastic material 2 has an overall U-shape or C-shape,
Locking portions 3 and 4 are formed above and below. The height of the plastic material 2, that is, the distance between the locking portions 3 and 4, is set to be equal to or slightly wider than the thickness of the short cylindrical sponge base 1. To attach the plastic material 2 to the sponge base 1, the plastic material 2 is brought into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the sponge base 1, and the plastic material 2 is secured to the upper and lower surfaces of the sponge base 1 using the upper and lower locking parts 3 and 4. . FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a large number of plastic materials 2 are attached to a sponge base 1 for decoration.

Of course, the shape of the plastic material 2 is not limited to the shape of the illustrated embodiment, but may be a vine shape, a shape like squeezed cream, or other various shapes. 2
By attaching the , you can make imitation cakes of any shape. Also, the plastic material 2
It is also possible to freely apply various colors to the cake, and in this way, a greater variety of imitation cakes can be produced.

As described above, the present invention provides an imitation cake having the following configuration. The imitation cake of the present invention comprises a columnar imitation sponge base 1 having a top surface, a bottom surface and side surfaces, and a plastic decoration material which is harder than the imitation sponge base 1 and is attached to the side surface. This decorative material is composed of a large number of mutually independent plastic materials 2 that are divided in the circumferential direction of the imitation sponge base. Each plastic material 2 consists of a main body that runs along the side surface of the imitation sponge base 1, and locking parts 3 and 4 that protrude inward from the top and bottom of the main body.
The upper and lower locking portions 3 and 4 are bonded to the top and bottom peripheries of the imitation sponge base 1 in contact with each other.

Therefore, in the present invention, even if a part of one piece of plastic material is lost, the imitation cake with the above structure can be used any number of times by simply replacing that part with a new plastic material. can. Moreover, anyone can perform the replacement work quite easily. In addition, since each piece of plastic material that is the decorative material of this invention is independent, when it is replaced as described above, there is no problem that it will not blend in with the surrounding plastic material that is the decorative material. People will never know which parts have been replaced. Furthermore, anyone can easily replace it at any location.
In addition, in manufacturing the imitation cake of the present invention, anyone can easily and quickly make the real cake by simply attaching the plastic material to the sponge base as instructed, without requiring a skilled person like in the past. You can create amazing imitation cakes that can be mistaken for cakes. Moreover, each plastic material consists of a main body that runs along the side of the sponge base, and locking parts that protrude inward from the top and bottom of the main body.
The strength of the sponge stand can be increased. especially,
The corners of the top and bottom peripheries of the sponge base are easily hit by other objects and easily chipped, but each plastic material can prevent the occurrence of chips at these corners. Furthermore, since the lower locking portions of each plastic material come into contact with the periphery of the bottom surface of the sponge stand, these locking portions come into contact with the surface on which the imitation cake is placed. Therefore, as a result of the bottom periphery being defined by a plastic material that is harder than the sponge table, the mounting condition is stabilized and the contact area with the mounting surface is reduced, so that the surface of the mounting surface can be easily moved. It also has the advantage that it is easy to slide and can be easily moved to an appropriate position on a mounting surface such as a table.
