  • Patent number: 5531318
    Abstract: A candy holder and enclosure for a piece of candy. The device includes a main housing and a secondary housing. The secondary housing has an upper end that extends into a lower end of the main housing. The main housing includes a spring loaded split cap that encloses the upper end of the main housing and a hard stick of candy is secured to the upper end of the secondary housing and contained within the main housing. Moving the secondary housing into the main housing pushes the candy upwardly to open the split cap and to expose the candy for consumption.

  • Patent number: 5503857
    Abstract: A candy holding device which is used to hold a piece of candy such as a sucker in a covering to protect the candy from dirt, etc. The cover is formed in two halves which in a folded condition encloses the candy. The two halves of the cover are connected at one end on swivel drums so that in use, the half covers are pulled apart and rotated from an upper position to a lower position. As the two half covers are rotated to the lower position the two halves are rotated about the swivel drums 180 degrees so that the two halves can be secured together to form a handle. In order to protect any candy that is left, the handles are moved upwardly and rotated 180 degrees to enclose the candy within the two half covers.
