It is provided to operate.

  The stopper 55 has a first blade portion 56 that contacts and separates from the extension rod 47a of the pressure member 46, and a second blade portion 57 that contacts and separates from the rib 45 of the rotating member 44 so as to perform a hinge operation. Coupled to the second cover member 42 '. The stopper 55 rotates around the hinge 58 and operates between a contact position where the first blade portion 56 contacts the extension rod 47a and a release position where the first blade portion 56 is separated from the extension rod 47a. Further, the hinge 58 is provided with a torsion spring (not shown) that elastically moves the stopper 55 from the contact position to the release position. As a result, when the button 47 is pressed, the extension rod 47 a is lowered and contacts the first blade portion 56 of the stopper 55. At the same time, the second blade portion 57 of the stopper 55 rotates and contacts the rib 45 of the rotating member 44. As a result, the rotation member 44 is not excessively rotated by the inertial rotation of the spoon / chopsticks 10 stored in the spoon / chopstick storage groove 36, and is rotated exactly one step at a time in one direction. Only one set of the spoon / chopsticks 10 stored in the spoon / chopstick storage groove 36 is discharged through the spoon / chopstick discharge port 24. Next, when the pressing of the button 47 is released, the extension rod 47a rises together with the button 47 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 48, and the stopper 55 separates the first blade portion 56 and the extension rod 47a. Reversely rotated by torsion spring to release position.

  On the other hand, a plurality of support protrusions 62 are formed on the first surface of the rotation member 44, and a plurality of support protrusions 62 are formed on the inner surface of the first cover member 42 on the side facing the rotation member 44 in correspondence with the support protrusions 62. A groove 64 is formed. Further, the second elastic member 66 may be sandwiched between the second surface of the rotating member 44 and the second cover member 42 '. As a result, when the button 47 is pressed, the support protrusion 62 and the support groove 64 are elastically engaged with each other, and the position of the rotation member 44 can be maintained corresponding to the first cover member 42. Here, the support grooves 64 formed in the first cover member 42 have the same number as the hanging portions 43 formed in the rotating member 44. Further, the number of the support protrusions 62 formed on the rotating member 44 may be appropriately provided so as to maintain the balance. Further, the positions of the support protrusion 62 and the support groove 64 and the position of the second elastic member 66 can be selectively changed.

  Instead of the support protrusion 62, the support groove 64, and the second elastic member 66, a plate spring that elastically contacts the hooking portion 43 of the rotation member 44 is provided to accurately rotate the rotation member 44 step by step. It can be achieved by various methods, such as providing them.

  The first elastic member 48 and the second elastic member 66 can be made of various materials that are elastically actuated by the button 47 and the rotation member 44. For example, a coil spring having a simple structure and rich in elastic force can be used.

  The structure of the rotation adjusting unit 40 is one embodiment according to the present invention, and is not limited thereto, and various structures can be used. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the rotation adjusting unit 40 is rotatably provided through the cover member 42 ″ and the cover member 42 ″, and is coupled to the rotating shaft 32 of the spoon / chopstick storage unit 30. And a rotation adjusting lever 51. Such a configuration has the advantage that it can be operated manually although its functionality and practicality are reduced.

  Reference numeral 48a shows a support plate for supporting the first elastic member 48, and a through hole 48b through which the extension rod 47a of the pressure member 46 passes is formed in the support plate 48a. Reference numeral 67 illustrates a protrusion that accommodates an elastic member for preventing the second elastic member 66 from shifting.

  The spoon and chopstick supply device is operated as follows.

  First, the opening cover 25 of the case portion 20 is opened, and the spoon / chopsticks 10 are stored in the respective spoon / chopstick storage grooves 36 of the spoon / chopstick storage portion 30, and then the opening cover 25 is closed.

  At this time, when the end portion of the spoon / chopstick 10 stored in the spoon / chopstick storage groove 36 of the spoon / chopstick storage portion 30 contacts the inclined surface 29 a of the alignment portion 29, the spoon / chopstick 10 is moved to the alignment portion 29. The end portion of the spoon / chopstick 10 moves to the surface of the opening cover 25 while sliding down along the inclined surface 29a. Accordingly, each spoon / chopstick 10 is arranged along the periphery of the alignment portion 29 adjacent to the surface of the opening cover 25. At the same time, they are aligned parallel to the axis of the case body 22. In particular, a pair of chopsticks stored in one of the spoon / chopstick storage grooves 36 is stored in an 'X' shape without crossing each other. As a result, a set of a plurality of spoons / chopsticks 10 is simply stored in the spoon / chopstick storage groove 36 of the spoon / chopstick storage unit 30 and is surely aligned.

  When the button 47 protruding outside the case portion 20 is pressed once, the support protrusion 62 formed on the rotating member 44 is formed on the first cover member 42 as shown in FIG. 7b. It is separated from the support groove 64 and released from the engaged state. Then, the rotating member 44 of the rotation adjusting unit 40 is rotated by one step, and the spoon / chopstick storage unit 30 rotates correspondingly. When the spoon / chopstick storage groove 36 coincides with the spoon / chopstick discharge port 24, the spoon / chopstick 10 is discharged straight through the spoon / chopstick discharge port 24 into the guide unit 70. In particular, a set of chopsticks is discharged in an aligned manner without intersecting the 'X' shape. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6b, when the button 47 is pressed, the extension rod 47a is lowered and contacts the first blade portion 56 of the stopper 55 so as to rotate the stopper 55 in one direction. The second blade portion 57 of the stopper 55 rotates in the same direction around the hinge 58 and contacts the rib 45 of the rotating member 44. As a result, the rotating member 44 is rotated one step accurately in one direction without being excessively rotated by the inertial rotation of the spoon / chopstick 10 stored in the spoon / chopstick storage groove 36. Then, only one set of the spoon / chopsticks 10 stored in the spoon / chopstick storage groove 36 is discharged straight through the spoon / chopstick discharge port 24.

  Subsequently, when the button 47 is released, the extension rod 47a of the pressure member 46 is raised by the elastic force of the first elastic member 48 as shown in FIG. 6a, and the stopper 55 is moved by the torsion spring. The first blade portion 56 and the extension rod 47a are rotated in the opposite direction so as to be separated from each other. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 7 a, the support protrusion 62 formed on the rotating member 44 is engaged with the support groove 64 formed on the first cover member 42. As a result, rotation of the rotation member 44 of the rotation adjusting unit 40 and rotation of the spoon / chopstick storage unit 30 are prevented.

  As described above, the spoon / chopstick storage part for storing a plurality of sets of spoons and chopsticks is rotatably stored, and the case / part with the spoon / chopstick discharge port and the spoon / chopstick storage part are stored. Set a plurality of spoons and chopsticks by adjusting the rotation of the spoon / chopstick storage unit so that the spoon and chopsticks are discharged sequentially, and forming a rotation adjustment unit coupled with the spoon / chopstick storage unit Can be stored easily and conveniently, and a set of stored spoons and chopsticks can be discharged one by one.

  In the above-described embodiment, the alignment unit for aligning the spoon / chopsticks is formed on the surface of the opening cover facing the spoon / chopstick storage unit, but the alignment unit is the rotation adjusting unit facing the spoon / chopstick storage unit. It can also be formed on the surface of the first cover member. In addition, the alignment portion can be formed on the opening cover of the case portion and the rotation adjusting portion, respectively.

  According to the present invention, not only can a plurality of sets of spoons and chopsticks be stored easily and conveniently, but also a plurality of sets of stored spoons and chopsticks can be sequentially discharged one by one.

  The spoon / chopsticks can be discharged sequentially by pressing the button, and the operation of the apparatus is simple.

  In addition, since the spoon / chopstick storage portion has a rotatable discharge structure, the size of the apparatus can be reduced, and a relatively large number of spoons / chopsticks can be stored.
