Abstract

A pastry bag includes: a container containing a creamy substance; a nozzle connected to the container; and an auxiliary member. The auxiliary member includes: a fixing portion fixed to the nozzle; and a positioning portion to be brought into contact with a creation surface on which a decoration is to be created.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pastry bag comprising:
a container configured to contain a creamy substance;
a connecting section at least partially disposed inside the container and extending outside of the container;
a nozzle connected to the container by the connecting section, the nozzle including an opening through which the creamy substance passes out of the container; and
an auxiliary member at least partially disposed inside of one or both of the connecting section and the nozzle, the auxiliary member comprising:
a fixing portion that holds the auxiliary member to the nozzle;
a positioning portion to be brought into contact with a creation surface on which a decoration is to be created, the positioning portion extending through the opening of the nozzle;
at least one connecting rod connecting the positioning portion and the fixing portion;
at least one front rib formed between a part of the positioning portion on a front side of the connecting rod and a front surface of the connecting rod, the at least one front rib extending from the at least one connecting rod towards the opening of the nozzle; and
at least one rear rib connecting a part of the positioning portion on a rear side of the connecting rod and a rear surface of the connecting rod, the at least one rear rib extending from the at least one connecting rod away from the opening of the nozzle,

wherein the fixing portion is sandwiched between the nozzle and the connecting section.

2. The pastry bag according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fixing portion is formed in a ring shape, and
wherein the fixing portion is connected to the positioning portion by at least one connecting rod.

3. The pastry bag according to claim 1 ,
wherein the connecting section comprises a front contact portion at a front end thereof,
wherein the nozzle comprises a rear contact portion formed inside, and
wherein the fixing portion of the auxiliary member is held such that front and rear portions of the fixing portion are sandwiched between the front contact portion of the connecting section and the rear contact portion of the nozzle.

4. The pastry bag according to claim 1 ,
wherein the auxiliary member is held within the nozzle,
wherein the positioning portion is formed in one of a cylindrical shape, a column shape, and a bar shape, and
wherein the fixing portion is connected to the positioning portion by at least one connecting rod.

5. An auxiliary member for a pastry bag comprising a container configured to contain a creamy substance, a connecting section at least partially disposed inside the container and extending outside of the container, and a nozzle connected to the container by the connecting section, the nozzle including an opening through which the creamy substance passes out of the container, the auxiliary member comprising:
a fixing portion sandwiched between the nozzle and the connecting section;
a positioning portion to be brought into contact with a creation surface on which a decoration is to be created, the positioning portion extending through the opening of the nozzle;
at least one connecting rod connecting the positioning portion and the fixing portion;
at least one front rib formed between a part of the positioning portion on a front side of the connecting rod and a front surface of the connecting rod, the at least one front rib extending from the at least one connecting rod towards the opening of the nozzle; and
at least one rear rib connecting a part of the positioning portion on a rear side of the connecting rod and a rear surface of the connecting rod, the at least one rear rib extending from the at least one connecting rod away from the opening of the nozzle.

6. A decoration forming toy comprising:
a container configured to contain a creamy substance;
a connecting section at least partially disposed inside the container and extending outside of the container;
a nozzle connected to the container by the connecting section, the nozzle including an opening through which the creamy substance passes out of the container; and
an auxiliary member at least partially disposed inside of one or both of the connecting section and the nozzle, the auxiliary member comprising:
a fixing portion that holds the auxiliary member to the nozzle;
a positioning portion to be brought into contact with a creation surface on which a decoration is to be created, the positioning portion extending through the opening of the nozzle;
at least one connecting rod connecting the positioning portion and the fixing portion;
at least one front rib formed between a part of the positioning portion on a front side of the connecting rod and a front surface of the connecting rod, the at least one front rib extending from the at least one connecting rod towards the opening of the nozzle; and
at least one rear rib connecting a part of the positioning portion on a rear side of the connecting rod and a rear surface of the connecting rod, the at least one rear rib extending from the at least one connecting rod away from the opening of the nozzle,

wherein the fixing portion is sandwiched between the nozzle and the connecting section.

7. A decoration forming toy set comprising:
a decoration forming toy; and
a base,
wherein the decoration forming toy comprises:
a container configured to contain a creamy substance;
a connecting section at least partially disposed inside the container and extending outside of the container;
a nozzle connected to the container by the connecting section, the nozzle including an opening through which the creamy substance passes out of the container; and
an auxiliary member at least partially disposed inside of one or both of the connecting section and the nozzle, the auxiliary member comprising:
a fixing portion that holds the auxiliary member to the nozzle;
a positioning portion to be brought into contact with a creation surface on which a decoration is to be created, the positioning portion extending through the opening of the nozzle;
at least one connecting rod connecting the positioning portion and the fixing portion;
at least one front rib formed between a part of the positioning portion on a front side of the connecting rod and a front surface of the connecting rod, the at least one front rib extending from the at least one connecting rod towards the opening of the nozzle; and
at least one rear rib connecting a part of the positioning portion on a rear side of the connecting rod and a rear surface of the connecting rod, the at least one rear rib extending from the at least one connecting rod away from the opening of the nozzle,

wherein the fixing portion is sandwiched between the nozzle and the connecting section, and

wherein the base comprises:
a contact guide with which a tip of the positioning portion is brought into contact; and
an amount guide which guides an amount of squeezing the creamy substance.
