Abstract:
A combination lollipop holder and stand comprising a body molded in one-piece forming an animal character and having an elongate torso providing a handle portion, two arm parts outstanding laterally from an upper end of the torso, providing a finger guarding portion and leg parts diverging from opposite sides of a lower end of the body to a flat, foot part, providing a base portion; and, a bore extending from a neck region between the arm parts vertically into the torso and provided with a constriction for gripping a stick of a lollipop when inserted into the bore thereby forming an extended neck and a consumable head of the character, whereby engagement of the arm and leg parts above and below a hand enclosing the torso prevents inadvertent dislodgement of the lollipop holder from the hand and the constriction prevents inadvertent dislodgement of the lollipop from the bore, when inverted and the foot part supports the body in stable position standing on a flat surface with the lollipop extending upwards from a top of the body at a maximum separation from the surface thereby obviating risk of contaminating contact therewith, and wherein substantially the entire body lies within a vertical envelope bounded by a horizontal perimeter of the foot part.
