Description
Claims (10)
- Device for carrying eating and drinking tableware, comprising a support surface (1) on which the eating and drinking tableware can be placed, the support surface being provided with a carrying arm (2) which extends from the support surface (1) to a position above the support surface (1), in the vicinity of the upwards perpendicular (5) leading from the centre of gravity (S) of the support surface (1), at which position a handle (4) is connected to the carrying arm (2) by means of a movable connection, characterized in that the movable connection comprises a coupling piece (3) made from an elastically deformable material, which coupling piece (3) is flexible to such an extent that movement of the handle (4) with respect to the carrying arm (2) and the support surface (1) which is connected thereto is permitted, and is torsionally rigid to such an extent that a rotation of the handle (4) about its longitudinal axis results in a rotation of the support surface (1).
- Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the handle (27) is integral with the coupling piece (28).
- Device according to claim 2, characterized in that the handle (27) and the coupling piece (28) are made from the same elastically deformable material.
- Device according to claim 3, characterized in that the coupling piece (28) is designed as a narrowed part of the handle (27).
- Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the elastically deformable material is an elastomer.
- Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the carrying arm (2) is a rod-like element, a free end of which ends at the perpendicular (5), the handle (4) being connected, by means of the coupling piece (3), to the free end of the carrying arm (2).
- Device according to one of claims 1-6, characterized in that the carrying arm (22) is attached to the support surface (20) by way of a releasable plug-in attachment.
- Device according to one of claims 1-6, characterized in that the carrying arm (2) is attached to the support surface (1) by way of a rotatable connection, the carrying arm (2) being able to move downwards out of a position of use and vice versa, and it being possible to fix the position of use.
- Device according to one of claims 1-6, characterized in that the support surface (1) and the carrying arm (2) are formed from a single, undivided piece of material.
- Device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the handle (4) is movable at least from a rest position to a position in which it stands perpendicularly upright.
