Title: Method for forming colored product

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001] The present invention relates to method for forming a colored product, and particularly to a method which connect a main body with at least one color providing body so as to present a beautiful outlook.  
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0002] In the prior art, colored products, such as drugs, foods, chocolates, stationeries, plastics, are made by coating or adding colored layers on a main body. For example, for colored chocolates, a main body is formed firstly, and then other color chocolates are added to the surface of the main body manually. This process is also used in many products, such as cakes.  
       [0003] Above mentioned prior arts have the following disadvantages.  
       [0004] The color providing body is coated on the surface of the main body.  
       [0005] The product can not present a strong three dimensional effect since the coating layer is thin. If too much color providing bodies are coated on the main body, it is possible that part of the color providing bodies will fall down so as not to present a desired effect.  
       [0006] If the main body is made of plastics, the color providing bodies adhered on the plastics easily fall down.  
       [0007] When the main body is foods, the color providing bodies easily falls down in the transferring process.  
       [0008] If the color providing bodies are patterns or texts, they easily shift or deforms, especially, when the main body is food.  
       [0009] Thereby, the prior art designs are not preferred. There is an eager demand for a novel one which can improve the defects in the prior art.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0010] Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a colored product. The method comprises the steps of: melting a main body and at least one color providing body so that the main body and the at least one color providing bodies melt as fluids; filling the melted main body into a syringe needles and fill the at least one color providing body into a respective sub-syringe needle; filling the at least one color providing body into a respective hole in a mold groove of a mold; injecting the main body in the syringe needle into the mold groove after the at least one color providing body is solidified; and connecting the main body and the at least one color providing body so as to form a product. The materials used in the present invention may be plastic materials, or foods, or rubbers, or glasses, for example, chocolates. The mold used can be made of silicone.  
       [0011] The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
     [0017] Referring to FIG. 1, the process of the present invention will be described hereinafter. It should be described here that the materials of the present invention are meltable to be as fluid and in normal temperature, these materials are in solid state.  
     [0018] The materials used in the present invention may be plastic materials, or foods, or rubbers, or glasses, for example, chocolates.  
     [0019] The first step of the present invention is to melt the main body  101  and at least one color providing body, herein two color providing bodies  102  and  103  are used so that the main body  101  and the color providing bodies  102  and  103  become fluids.  
     [0020] The second step of the present invention is to fill the melted main body  101  into a syringe needle  111  and fill the color providing bodies  102  and  103  into the sub-syringe needles  112  and  113 .  
     [0021] The third step of the present invention is to fill each of the color providing bodies  102  and  103  into a respective hole  62  in a mold groove  61  of a mold  6 , as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.  
     [0022] The fourth step of the present invention is to inject the main body  101  in the syringe needle  111  into the mold groove  61  after the color providing bodies  102  and  103  are solidified, as shown in FIG. 4.  
     [0023] The fifth step of the present invention is to connecting the main body  101  and the color providing bodies  102  and  103  so as to form a product, as shown in FIG. 5.  
     [0024] It should be noted that the main body and color providing bodies of the present invention may be chocolates of different colors, and the mold can be made of silicone.  
     [0025] The advantage of the present invention will be described herein.  
     [0026] The color providing bodies are solid, i.e., colors are not only coated at the surfaces of the bodies. Thereby, when as the color providing bodies are worn, the colors still remain.  
     [0027] A three dimensional products can be formed so that the products provide preferred feeling to users.  
     [0028] The outlooks of the color providing bodies are confined by the holes of the mold groove. The boundaries of the color providing bodies are apparent without being polluted by other materials and the boundaries are not distorted by surface extension or by diffusion.  
     [0029] The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
