Description

Be embedded with the chopsticks of toothpick

Technical field

The present invention relates to chopsticks.More specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of wooden throwaway chopsticks that are embedded with two toothpicks.Carve out the shape and the form of described toothpick, but with described being kept perfectly property of throwaway chopsticks.Keep the integral form and the structure of described chopsticks at this.

Background technology

Current industry is attempting finding the solution of perfect chopsticks always.In these years, the chopsticks of known number of different types in the prior art.Although chopsticks mainly are that the kitchen appliance as gripping food uses in the Far East Area,, also be widely used at the west chopsticks at present along with the increase in the restaurant that the east cuisines are provided.By the foreigner who crosses a pair of chopsticks, one of maximum challenge is association and grasps and how to hold the wooden chopsticks of a pair of concerning never.In order to allow the people correctly grasp the skill of holding a pair of chopsticks, invented several innovation and creation and solved this problem.

The United States Patent (USP) 3 of Hiroshi, 414, No. 310 suggestions provide chopsticks rest for a pair of chopsticks, guide chopsticks to use a pair of pivotable guide member in providing accurately near terminal plane, and described guide member has the spring members that it is biased into open position.Described guide member has one or more guiding flange that extends internally in order to the chopsticks friction is remained on groove wherein by frictional force and be plugged together and connect by pivotal pin.Similarly, the United States Patent (USP) of Lee has also advised similarly inventing with Hiroshi for 2,997, No. 328.The principle object of the invention of Lee provides a kind of chopstick combination of uniqueness, and its medi-spring is installed on the fulcrum, and has the spring bias mechanism and the chopsticks rear end is closed up and the chopsticks front end separates.In the chopstick arrangement of Lee, the position of mode below spring that the user only needs to close up with the operating side that forces chopsticks is held in chopsticks in its hand.Thus, when palm pressure discharges, spring action and make the operating side of chopsticks get back to their expanded position.

Being used to of Nakatsu assists mechanism (United States Patent (USP) 4,721,334) that chopsticks use that the invention of Hiroshi and Lee is pushed forward and further elaborated the method that chopsticks use this ancient problem of grasping that solves.In the invention of Nakatsu, assist the device of chopsticks to be characterised in that to have not have the leaf spring of the molded or formation structure of the single-piece that separates attaching parts, this leaf spring with adjustable distance a pair of chopsticks are connected with each other and make it possible to with correct gripping with brandish the substantially the same and reliable mode of a pair of chopsticks that each root fund is not connected and operate them.But (U.S. Patent No. 3,323,825) can see different approximate invention in the invention of Arima.In his invention, his invention not only is used to handle chopsticks, can also be used to handle other food processing apparatus.Though the chopsticks as its executor have been mentioned in his invention particularly, we can say that also its invention can be used in anchor clamps and salad spoon or the like.

The invention of Nakatsu, Lee, Hiroshi and Arima is analogous to each other.Their invention helps non-chopsticks user to overcome chopsticks obstacle that uses and the use of understanding chopsticks.Yet they fail to expect toothpick is embedded the disposable wooden chopsticks.They fail to answer with two kinds of differences but the kitchen utensils utensil of no less important is merged into a kind of comprehensive food processing apparatus.The present invention has predicted this problem.

Summary of the invention

The present invention relates to a kind of wooden throwaway chopsticks.More specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of a pair of wooden throwaway chopsticks that are embedded with toothpick.The global shape and the structure of carving out toothpick from two pairs of chopsticks, and keep the general form of wooden chopsticks at this.

Description of drawings

Fig. 1 is the stereogram of the chopsticks of a pair of rule in the prior art.

Fig. 2 is the stereogram in the invention of this discussion.Carve out two still isometric toothpicks that separate, and keep the global shape and the structure of toothpick.

Fig. 3 takes out the wherein figure of a toothpick from chopsticks among Fig. 2.
