Description

DESCRIPTION

Utensil composed of fork and spoon.

Sector of the technique

The invention falls within the field of the technique of manufacturing cutlery, referred to the shape thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The state of the art referred to the shape of cutlery has not varied for many decades, so it can be said that it has remained constant over time.

Explanation of the invention

The invention consists in gathering in a single utensil the characteristics of two: the fork and the spoon, adding to the front of the concave stick of the latter, the fork tines. This makes it possible to reduce the number of utensils necessary for table service, by converting the fork and the spoon into a single, compound one, which enjoys the particularities of both. The same effect can also be achieved by adding to the fork, at the end of the tines, the concavity of the spoon itself. In any case, the added feature will always be of a smaller size; the tines of the fork added to the spoon will be shorter, and the concavity added to the fork will have less room. The size of the handle will be proportional to the total size of the utensil.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 shows the utensil composed of fork and spoon with the large concavity (1) complete and the short prongs (2) external to it.

Figure 2 also shows the large concavity (1) complete, but the short prongs (2) are included in it.

Figure 3 shows the utensil composed of fork and spoon with the large concavity (1) truncated and the short prongs (2) external to it.

Figure 4 also has the large concavity (1) truncated, but with the short prongs (2) included therein.

Figure 5 shows the utensil composed of fork and spoon with the long prongs (2) and a small concavity (1) at the end thereof.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The manufacture of this new utensil, either from the spoon (adding the tines of the fork to the front of its concave stick), or from the fork (adding the concavity of the spoon, at the end of its tines), requires only of the use of the corresponding mold. The mold must be suitable for each of the different kinds of metal (silver, steel, etc.), plastic (white, translucent, etc.), or any other material that you want to use. Any other manufacturing procedures deemed convenient may also be used.

Claims (5)

1. The utensil composed of fork and spoon is characterized by containing in the same utensil the large or small concavity of the spoon and the short or long prongs of the fork, to which a handle is attached, finished in a small ornament. 2. UTENSIL COMPOUND BY FORK AND SPOON according to the previous claim, of any size as regards both the number of tines that contains characteristics of the fork, the concave part of the spoon, the handle and the overall dimensions of the utensil. 3.
