Petty Patent Federal Republic of Germany
Invention of a container for sherbet powder.
Known are sherbet sweets as well as sherbet balls which are filled with pressed sherbet powder. After some time of sucking the core with the pressed sherbet powder will come free and a enjoyable prickly feeling arises.
It is also known to pack loose sherbet powder into bags and the to consume the sherbet together with an alcoholic beverage. For that, the loose powder is put onto the tongue an then the alcoholic beverage - often vodka - is poured onto the sherbet poder. The sherbet powder then faomes immediately with great vigour giving the consument a very special sensation of taste.
It is also known to sell vodka im combination with sherbet powder bags. This combination is the consumed as described above.
The function of this invention is a modification of existing sherbet powder containers with the goal to give the consumer a totally new taste sensation.
This is done by forming the container of a thin breakable and edible material with the sherbet as a loose powder within. The container is preferably made out of gelatine, sugar or glucose of such a wall thickness that it easily fragments or breaks by biting on it.
The wall thickness is choosen in such a way, that the wall makes up about 5 to 10% of the volume of the capsule.
Preferably the capsules will be sold as a set together with bottles of alcoholic beverages. This could be a seperate box, loose or fixed to the bottle, or a cavity in the bottom or the stopper of the bottle which is filled with said capsules.
The size and form of the capsules is arbitrary, they could take for example the form of a ball. The diameter of the capsules should be big enough to hold enough sherbet powder to give the desired taste sensation but there is obviously a natural upper limit.
The following drawing shows an exemplary design of the innovation.
Figure 1
shows a schematic cross-section of said container. The container is made of a capsule
(10 ) wich in this example is a ball.
The wall thickness is choosen in such a way, that on one hand it savely contains the loosely filled sherbet powder (12 )
but one the other hand easily breaks or fragments by biting on it.
The desired effect is to set the enclosed sherbet powder completely free by one single bite.
The material of the capsule (10 ) needs to be edible and is preferably made out of
sugar, glucose, gelatine or a similar material that is rigid enough to completely fragment upon biting on it and not to just deform or dent - thus setting
the shwerbet powder (12 ) free immediately.
Another important consideration is that the sherbet is powdery and in no way pressed or pasty in order to get the desired effect.
The capsules can be sold in combination with bottles of wodka (schnapps et cetera) as a set. The capsules could for example be in a box attached to the bottle or as well in a cavity within the bottom of the bottle or the stopper.
Summarized this innovation creates a novelty foodstuff that gives the customer a completely new sensation of taste.
