ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a candy racer and more particularly to a candy device in which candy pieces can travel from one end of the device to the other for consumption and for enjoyment of watching the candy pieces travel from one end to the other.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Heretofore, devices have been patented by which objects can travel from an upper end to a lower end so that the objects can be seen as they travel from the upper end to the lower end. These devices also have a reservoir or receptacle at the bottom end which receives the candy pieces for dispensing to a user. Such prior art is restricted to a one-way travel for the pieces.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a candy dispensing device by which an object can travel in each direction through the device. The objects can be dispensed at only one end or both ends if desired.
Another object is to provide a candy/gum dispensing device which permits candy/gum pieces to traverse either direction of the device.
Another object is to provide a device which has no distinguishable top or bottom.
Yet another object is to provide a device in which either end becomes the top or bottom depending on the manner in which the device is held vertically.
Other more specific objects and advantages will become obvious to those skilled in the art upon a review of the drawings, specification and claims.
