Abstract

The invention concerns a device comprising an elongated handle (4) at the end of which are arranged means (2, 3) for holding food (7). The means (2, 3) comprise two symmetrical parts arranged symmetrically relatively to the handle (4) longitudinal axis (L). Each of the parts (2, 3) can be spaced apart and brought together in rotation about pins (5, 6) parallel to the handle (4) axis. Thus, when the parts are brought together they form the hollow part of a spoon, the prongs of a fork or jaw-like grippers. The device comprises an electronic control for spacing apart or bringing together the parts (2, 3) by applying them on a surface, for example the surface of a plate.
