Fig. 7 is a view of the front part of the holder with a spoon in the position in which it can be removed from the holder.

In the first embodiment, near one end of a plate 1 are in some Distance from each other columns 2 arranged. Near the other end of the plate are in longer columns 3 provided at the same distance from one another. The pillars 2 and 3 are connected to each other by one.steg 4 and 5, which in turn are connected to the In the middle of the webs attached rod 6 are connected to one another. Below the bar 6 two rods 7 and 8 running parallel to each other and to rod 6 are arranged, which are bent at right angles near their ends and attached to the pillars 2 and 3; so they form an open channel. The rods 7 and 8 run from the columns 3 against the columns 2 towards in an inclined position. Between the columns 2 is a serving as a stop Attachment 9 arranged on the plate 1. The columns 2 are above the attachment 9 against the columns 3 are bent and move away upwards again in an arc from these, to end in upper parts parallel to the lower parts.

The forks, which have four prongs, for example, are held one after the other on the handle, with the tips of the tines pointing upwards and towards the lower part of the holder, so inserted into the upper part of the same that two prongs on the left and two prongs on the right come to rest from the rod 6, while the fork with the widening supporting the prongs lies down on bars 7 and 8.

Claims (3)

The forks are arranged in the holder in a row inclining towards the columns 2, with the fork at the top (closest to the columns 2) leaning against the web 4 with the prongs and the handle at the bottom against the attachment 9 . If a fork is to be removed from the holder, it must be grasped by the handle and lifted up a little so that the end of the handle comes to lie higher than the upper edge of the attachment 9 (FIG. 4). Now the fork can be removed from the holder by moving its lower part over the attachment 9, after which the forks still in the holder slide as a result of the inclined arrangement of the rods 6, 7 and 8 and the foremost against the web 4 and the attachment again 9 creates. The described design of the columns 2 makes the front fork located in the holder easily accessible, so that, if necessary, several forks can be grasped at the same time. The removal of forks from the holder is due to the described design of the holder only possible when touching the forks on the handle, that is, at a point that does not come into contact with food items while eating. The holder can also be set up for storing spoons or knives, and the second exemplary embodiment (FIGS. 5 to 7) shows a holder for spoons. Here the rods 7 and 8 are arranged in the same way as those of the first embodiment. 10 and 11 are two rods arranged parallel to one another, which serve to guide the part of the spoon intended for receiving the food. 12 and 13 are rods that are used to guide the dipper stick. If a spoon is now to be grasped by its part intended for receiving the food in order to remove it from the holder, then when the spoon is lifted, its handle, which is widened downwards, hits the rods 12, 13 (Fig. 7), so that another high- and preventing the spoon from being lifted out of the holder. If, however, the spoon is grasped by the handle and first lifted upwards, it can be removed from the holder over the attachment and under the web 4.
