Description

Novel conjoined chopstick

Affiliated technical field

Involved in the present invention is a kind of chopsticks, particularly two independent chopsticks bars is linked as the conjoined chopstick of a pair of.

Background technology

Chopsticks have the history in thousands of years as the tableware of people's gripping food, but up to the present, but rarely have change on the basic configuration of its essential structure, chopstick head and the using method.In the chopsticks use, still exist a following difficult problem:

1, the timber of disposable sanitary chopsticks waste;

2, grasp difficulty in the starting stage of using chopsticks;

3, chopsticks are difficult to be competent at when gripping slyness food;

4, the moulding of chopsticks is dull, function singleness.

Up to now, the structure of tradition chopsticks, still be two independent elongate rod mostly, need it to be combined into the one that can cooperatively interact by user's hand, and control the coincideing and the clamping dynamics of opening and closing, chopstick head of chopsticks bar with finger control, this has the handicapped person for beginner and hand is the thing of a difficulty.

We know that chopsticks are a kind of instruments, mainly take gripping food as tableware; And in our daily life, can be used for the having much of clamping object with hand-held tool, for example: nail nipper, clip, tweezers, pliers, scissors etc., their common feature is: chuck or clip can coincide automatically during use.Come the gripping object with these instruments,, and can have greater functionality than simply easy with chopsticks, but owing to it cleans difficulty and can't be used as tableware.

Although people have found out thousand and one way, designed many novel chopsticks, an above-mentioned difficult problem is not solved at all.

Summary of the invention

For solving an above-mentioned difficult problem, the present invention has done following improvement to traditional chopsticks:

1, the improvement of chopstick structure:

A, chopsticks bar or movable chopstick head be connected or be movably connected on certain object (below be called connect object), it is become one, and make between the chopstick head, self strain that can be by connecting object or rotation and activity opening and closing are so that pick up food.

This connects object can be that rotating shaft, hinge, spring assembly or certain have mechanism, instrument or the object of opening and closing function, as: nail nipper, scissors, pliers, clip, tweezers, flexible strain object etc., this mechanism or object can be made of various material, and have various required geometry or design.

B, for wherein structure or moulding complexity, be difficult to clean or have the conjoined chopstick of perishable member, be equipped with movable very easily chopsticks bar of loading and unloading or chopstick head.Available single or double joint toothpick is plugged on the chopsticks bar bottom of conjoined chopstick or traditional chopsticks and uses as this movable chopstick head, toothpick not only has enough intensity and toughness, and compare with traditional chopstick head use dexterousr, convenient, not only can press from both sides and provoke food, can also as using fork, prick food, and with still can be used as toothpick after the meal.Thereby reach one-object-many-purposes, save resource and convenient and healthy purpose.

C, chopsticks bar and being connected between the object can fixedly connectedly also can flexibly connect (as pegging graft).Chopsticks bar self also can divide the section of counting and movable pegging graft.The purpose that flexibly connects, the one, in order to clean the chopsticks bar easily; The 2nd, make portable chopsticks; The 3rd, make the chopsticks bar still can be used as traditional chopsticks and use.

D, according to the easy to use of user and custom, connect the position of object, can be on two chopsticks bars regulated at will.

E, be connected or movable being plugged on the two legs of a U-shaped object the upper end of two chopsticks bars is parallel respectively, or two chopsticks bars and U-shaped object be made into integrative-structure, formation U type chopsticks; Self can do strain U-shaped object or chopsticks bar on a certain direction, like this, press the chopsticks bar to make its closure in user's only with hand points to, or is pulled outwardly the chopsticks bar it is opened, and just can make things convenient for successfully and use chopsticks.Spring can be used making such as plastic cement, metal, bamboo wood.

F, with two chopsticks bars respectively activity be plugged on the mobilizable both sides of hinge, hinge can be on the chopsticks bar activity orientation.Can make the fixing rotation of opening and closing at grade of two chopsticks bars like this.Therefore, the user need not painstakingly to go to control coincideing of chopstick head, and the use of chopsticks becomes simple and reliable.This chopsticks especially are fit to begin to learn the usefulness of the people of the traditional chopsticks of use as exercise.Above-mentioned movable purpose of pegging graft is in order to clean the chopsticks bar easily, to regulate the pivot of chopsticks bar to be fit to different users or to make it can be used as traditional chopsticks use.

G, sawtooth or blade are set, conjoined chopstick can be decomposed into knife and fork and use at certain position of conjoined chopstick.

H, scissors being formed conjoined chopstick as connecting object with movable chopsticks bar or chopstick head, is rotating shaft with bolt, makes it can be divided into two easily, and a slice is a cutter, and a slice is to pitch, and just becomes scissors and one chopsticks when integrating; The finger ring of scissors can be rotated to an angle and use with convenient.Like this, be one not only with chopsticks and cutlery combination, also added scissors as tableware, so that cut off the long food (as bean vermicelli) that some other tableware is difficult to break.This scissors not only can also can be with bamboo chip or plastic production with metal.

I, spring clip is formed conjoined chopstick as connecting object with movable chopsticks bar or chopstick head, thereby resemble gripping food the use spring clip.

J, nail nipper are formed conjoined chopstick as connecting object with movable chopsticks bar or chopstick head, be provided for fixing the member that has jack of movable chopsticks bar or chopstick head at the jaw place of nail nipper, they are opening and closing with the opening and closing of jaw; This member designs can be become the reeded tooth of cracking between the teeth of a subband, be used to crack between the teeth open melon seeds.This conjoined chopstick not only has multi-functional, also is convenient to travelling and carries.

The chopsticks body space of K, conjoined chopstick that such scheme is made is used to construct and make plane or three-dimensional technology image (for example Olympic Games FuWa, 12 symbolic animal of the birth year etc.), Word message, corporate identify or advertisement, makes chopsticks become the genuine art work and influences mass media widely.

L, with some biological body, for example: mouth of personage, stilted personage, some mascot, stilted mascot, aquatic bird and head moulding etc. are as connecting object, with movable chopsticks bar or chopstick head be plugged on personage or mascot foot, stilt bottom, aquatic bird mouth end is formed conjoined chopstick.And make two mouths of two bars, the aquatic bird of personage's both legs, stilt can the elasticity opening and closing.

M, micro lighting lamp or flashlight are set on conjoined chopstick, the chopsticks body spatial design of conjoined chopstick can be become flat illuminating lamp or miniature advertisement lamp box to increase its function.

2, the improvement of chopstick head shape: the shape of traditional chopstick head mostly is cylinder, round platform, prism, terrace with edge, being shaped as after the improvement;

A, needle-like or forked: its objective is the function of cutlery fork and the function of Chinese dinner service chopsticks are integrated.Such chopsticks not only can pick up food, can also insert the food that is difficult to pick up.Needle-like or forked chopstick head can be made with the chopsticks bar and be one, also can peg graft with the chopsticks bar is movable.Single or many all kinds of toothpicks can be plugged on the lower end (can on the lower surface of traditional chopsticks bar, punch) of traditional chopsticks bar, can make the toothpick one-object-many-purposes, and play the function of disposable sanitary chopsticks, thereby save resource.

B, flat: for example duckbill, chicken mouth shape etc., such chopstick head are the face contact, help the stable food that picks up.Because two chopsticks bars are fixed on and connect on the object, can not be along axially rotation separately, therefore the flat contact-making surface of two chopstick heads can coincide automatically.

3, the improvement of chopsticks using method: said here using method refers to the method that grips chopsticks, takes the method for chopsticks when promptly using chopsticks.Traditional method is: two chopsticks are separated certain distance, position, middle and upper part at chopsticks, laterally grip chopsticks with thumb, handle the opening and closing of chopsticks and coincideing of chopstick head with middle finger, forefinger and nameless finger tripe, this needs certain skill, the sense of equilibrium and qualification.In fact, finger itself is the natural chopsticks of easy-to-operate, we to do just with material with certain rigidity with its lengthening.Therefore, traditional chopsticks bar can be connected as a single entity it (as scissors or pliers) by rotating shaft or hinge, and fingerstall or finger ring are set in the top, it is enclosed within finger goes up use, with the opening and closing of finger, drive the chopstick head opening and closing, can very lightly pick up food easily like this.

Also fingerstall or finger ring can be set in the middle part of conjoined chopstick, and make it and to regulate along the length direction of chopsticks, to adapt to different users.

4, make conjoined chopstick become the method for mass medium: chopsticks are as a kind of tableware, and we can touch every day.Especially as the chopsticks of publicing tableware, all will have a hygienic issues by people's contact many times every day therefore.For conjoined chopstick,, can not as throwaway chopsticks, be abandoned again by integral body because its structure than traditional chopsticks complexity, can not often be cleaned.Therefore, we have adopted movable chopstick head easy to loading and unloading.This movable chopstick head can be disposable (as toothpick), also can be repeatedly used after cleaning (than cleaning whole more reasonable, the saving and easy of chopsticks), so the hygienic issues of chopstick head can solve fully.But how the hygienic issues of chopsticks body (mainly being people's handengagabie portion) this solve? we wrap a movable guard can for the chopsticks body.This movable guard can be disposable, uses repeatedly after also can washing, and its material can be plastics, paper products or fabric.For example: the diner can do it yourself, and the Sticky Note or the cover that provide free with restaurant, restaurant coat the back use with the chopsticks body.

If on this Sticky Note that is used for chopsticks body health or cover, stamp various commonweal informations or advertisement, just they can become the mass medium that a kind of people have a dinner and just can touch.Can also be according to different dinner partys, the Sticky Note or the cover that have the different information contents as replacings such as birthday party, wedding dinner, classmate's parties are to increase atmosphere.

Chopsticks after improving with above-mentioned several method can replace traditional chopsticks and throwaway chopsticks fully, and can have cutter simultaneously, pitch, cut, functions such as lamp, medium and handicraft, be a kind of modern chopsticks that are different from traditional chopsticks fully.Be a kind of everybody use convenient and healthy multifunctional dishware.It changes the dullness of traditional chopsticks in material, structure, moulding and function aspects, is that a kind of concentrated cutlery is tableware new product one, colourful.
