Abstract:
A puzzle candy dispenser for dispensing a ball-shaped confection, the dispenser comprising:a spherical inner body having an entry aperture, an exit aperture, and a plurality of grooves provided on its outer surface and sized to allow the ball-shaped confection to roll therein in an operative condition of the dispenser, the plurality of grooves forming a maze between the entry aperture and the exit aperture in the outer surface of the inner body; and,a spherical outer shell of slightly larger diameter than the inner body and adapted to substantially enclose the inner body within its hollow interior, the outer shell having an indentation sufficiently large to allow the ball-shaped confection to roll therein when the indentation is located over the groove in the outer surface of the inner body in the operative condition of the dispenser whereby, in use, the ball-shaped confection must be steered by the indentation from the entry aperture through the maze to the exit aperture by manipulating the inner body relative to the outer shell in order to dispense a confection.
