Abstract

This invention provides chopsticks of pincers type which are connected in upper ends and have grip, wherein the lower ends close to each other by pressing the grip and return to original position by the restoring force. This invention includes the connecting support connecting each of upper ends of chopsticks and grip enlarged to have bigger surface area than adjacent part and positioned between the connecting support and the contact of the lower ends, wherein intermediate part between the connecting support and the grip is wider and thinner than the part between the contacts and the grip.

Description

The jaw type chopsticks

Technical field

The present invention relates to the jaw type chopsticks, and be particularly related to this jaw type chopsticks, wherein, the upper end of chopsticks is connected to each other, and hand-held place forms projection at sidepiece, and is close by oppressing hand-held place chopsticks, and utilizes restoring force to be returned to the home position.

Background technology

Usually, a pair of chopsticks comprise two independent chopsticks, and each root is used to pick up food.But, skillfully use this chopsticks to need to a certain degree sensitivity, and to using the unskilled people of chopsticks then to be very difficult to use, for example the foreigner, old man, have the people of hand obstacle etc., especially for patient with hand tremor.

In addition, because chopsticks are not placed on the dining table usually when not using, because contact with the dining table surface and pollute, bring unhygienic and surperficial dirty sensation thus easily.

In order to address these problems, some restaurants adopt independent chopsticks platform, when not using chopsticks are placed on the chopsticks platform, and the chopsticks part that contacts with food can not contacted with dining table.But this practice has shortcoming, and this is that the diner also feels chopsticks to be placed on trouble on the chopsticks platform at every turn because adopt the chopsticks platform to mean extra work, time and expense.

In the early stage registration number that obtains of the inventor is 145841 Korean Utility Model, another kind of solution is proposed.This utility model of the applicant is characterised in that, two chopsticks are made one, and its upper end is connected to each other by the continuous pole 120 that curves annular downwards, and its bottom forms one with hand-held place 140, and the outside is outstanding or protuberance arranged.

But, although because the hand-held place 140 and the pole 120 that links to each other, chopsticks in this utility model have the effect that possibility prevents that its (contacting foodstuff part 130) contacts with the dining table surface, at the hand-held place 140 of compressing when clamping food, pressure acts on the pole 120 that links to each other, and, its outside is applied tension force and to exerting pressure the inboard that is, so pole 120 meeting weakenings, variation even fracture link to each other.Pole 120 can become too hard if hardening constituent chord bar 120 to overcome these deficiencies, then can't link to each other with avoiding, to such an extent as to can not have enough elastic force bendings, thus be not easy to pick up food.

Certainly, by making a described burr that links to each other become bigger, to address this problem simply, it is uneven that but chopsticks can seem, thereby the outward appearance of diminishing, and be difficult to make the contacting foodstuff part away from the centre, and must be with across and converge, mainly act on the pole that links to each other because pick up the pressure of food needs.

Summary of the invention

Now, the purpose of this invention is to provide the chopsticks of sanitation and hygiene, wherein, continuous pole neither can be ruptured, and contact portion can not intersected yet, and can not contact with the dining table surface simultaneously.

By part between continuous pole and hand-held place the elastically deformable body is set, can realizes above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, so the invention is characterized in, it comprises the continuous pole that connects two chopsticks upper ends; The hand-held place that enlarges, its surface area is greater than adjacent part, and between continuous pole and contact portion; And mid portion, handing the place and linking to each other between the pole, wideer thinner than the part between contact portion and the hand-held place.

The specific embodiment

Below, with reference to accompanying drawing, one embodiment of the present of invention are described.

Fig. 2 is the stereogram of jaw type chopsticks of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is its plane.

As shown in above-mentioned figure, jaw type chopsticks of the present invention comprise the pole 20 that links to each other, the upper end of two chopsticks is connected as a body, and be bent downwardly, form the inclined downward shape, so that together constitute support with the hand-held place 40 that enlarges, keep the contact portion 30 of chopsticks not contact with the dining table end face to chopsticks;

Between continuous pole 20 and described contact portion 30, hand-held place 40 forms projection, and contacts with dining table bottom it, supports chopsticks with described continuous pole 20, makes described contact portion 30 not contact with the dining table end face; And

Mid portion 50, not only wide but also long between described hand-held place 40 and continuous pole 20, so that give the chopsticks deformation behavior.

To shown in Figure 6, the width of the pole 20 that links to each other and thickness are all greater than the width and the thickness of mid portion 50 as Fig. 2.

Certainly, described continuous pole 20 and hand-held place 40 can need not downward expansion, but can upwards enlarge or enlarge up and down simultaneously.And, if the side has linear symmetric, can use chopsticks more easily, because need not to distinguish the upside and the downside of chopsticks.

Have only described continuous pole 20 to have to contact,, prevent that described contact portion 30 from contacting with the dining table end face, and enough areas of hand clamping are provided so they must support chopsticks with the dining table end face with hand-held place 40.

The function of jaw type chopsticks of the present invention is as described below:

When using jaw type chopsticks of the present invention to press from both sides food, strength acts on hand-held place 40, chopsticks are inwardly curved from the pole 20 that links to each other, then between hand-held place 40 and continuous pole 20 and the mid portion 50 thinner than other parts have elasticity and be easy to and rebound, for this reason, if slightly reduce to act on the strength at hand-held place, have therefore that the chopsticks of improved coefficient of elasticity can easily return its home position, be enough to for reusing.

Therefore, only utilize the pole elasticity that links to each other to realize traditional chopsticks function, chopsticks of the present invention have the function of utilizing himself elasticity to play a role, and in the present invention, described continuous pole only is used for securely two chopsticks being linked up and support chopsticks, but can prevent that contact portion 30 from intersecting and contact with table top.

And, the described contact portion 30 that contacts with food can be the fork shape with tip, as shown in Figure 4, or wide flat pattern, this wide flat pattern can be the flat pattern that only extends downwards, as shown in Figure 5, also can be the flat pattern that extends up and down simultaneously, as shown in Figure 6, even have not plane surface, all these helps more easily holding food.

Industrial applicibility

The present invention has the effect that prevents that continuous pole from may rupture, and helps easily to press from both sides Hold food, because use very little strength that chopsticks are merged, prevent from intersecting, link to each other simultaneously Pole contacts with the dining table end face with hand-held place itself, and can support contact portion and prevent itself and meal The contact of table end face.
