ABSTRACT:
A package for candy canes which is a body of resilient, synthetic resin material having a pair of adjacent cane-receiving depressions therein. Each of the cane-receiving depressions is of an elongated oval configuration, and includes substantially elongated side channels separated by a central island and joined at each end by a rounded, recessed end portion. Intermediate the length of each of the elongated side channels of the recessed elongated oval, a pair of undercut flanges are provided within the recess forming that side of the oval, and adjacent the central island. The undercut flanges in each pair are spaced a distance from each other which is less than the transverse thickness of the elongated leg of a candy cane to permit the cane to be snapped between the flanges through the space therebetween, and then retained by the flanges in a stored, packaged position. A support pedestal extends between the sides of the defining boundaries of each of the side channels of the oval at a location between and below the undercut flanges, and functions to support a portion of a cane snapped between the flanges, and to space the cane from the remainder of the synthetic resin body. The synthetic resin material is of sufficient resilience, and the undercut flanges are so dimensioned, that the canes may be easily removed from the package by snapping them out through the space between the opposed undercut flanges.
