Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide chopsticks, overcoming the disadvantage that although the upper ends of the chopsticks for use in cooking (making vegetables or fish cooked in stock with soy sauce and other seasonings, grilled fish or meat, fried food and so on) are connected to each other by a thick yarn, this thick yarn twines around the chopsticks bodies to disable the chopsticks from working, so that it is necessary to separate them each time. <P>SOLUTION: The upper ends of the chopstick bodies 1 are respectively provided with a groove 2, and a connecting ring 3 combined with a chain 4 is inserted in each groove. A gap between the chain 2 and the connecting ring3 is about 1 mm, so that even if the chopstick bodies 1 make irregular rotation, the chain 4 does not twine around the chopstick bodies 1. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

The present invention has been devised to facilitate the use of chopsticks used when cooking.

Conventionally, chopsticks that have been used are those in which a hole is made in the upper part of the chopstick body (two pieces) and a thick thread is passed through the hole (about 3 centimeters long).
When cooking with chopsticks in this state, the chopsticks body rotates irregularly within the finger, and the thick thread gets entangled with the chopsticks, making it impossible to operate the chopsticks. Is something.

Since conventional chopsticks are simply drilled at the upper end of the chopsticks and connected with thick thread, when the chopsticks rotate, the thick thread entangles with the chopsticks.
In the present invention, a groove (2) is provided in the upper part of the chopstick body (1), the connecting ring (3) is connected to both ends of the chain (4) (about 3 cm in length), and the connecting ring (3) is connected to the chopsticks. Insert into the groove (2) in the body.
Since the gap between the groove (2) of the chopsticks and the connecting ring (3) is about 1 mm, the chain (4) can be used without being entangled with the chopsticks even if the chopstick body (1) rotates irregularly. .

A set of two chopsticks having a groove (2) at the upper end of the chopstick body (1) and having a groove at the upper end.
The connecting ring (3) is connected to both ends of the chain (4). The connecting ring (3) uses a spring wire having elasticity.
The gap between the outer diameter of the groove (2) of the chopsticks and the inner diameter of the connecting ring (3) is about 1 millimeter.
When the connecting ring (3) connected to both ends of the chain (4) is inserted from the tip of the chopstick body (1), the connecting ring (3) is elastic, so the groove of the chopsticks (2) Since the gap between the groove (2) of the chopsticks and the connecting ring (3) that fits in is about 1 millimeter, the chopstick body (1) can freely rotate in the connecting ring (3).

The chopsticks used to make dishes rotate irregularly between the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger, and the thick thread at the top of the chopsticks becomes entangled with the chopsticks and the chopsticks become inoperable. It was inconvenient that the thick thread had to be repaired.
According to the present invention, the inconvenience described above is eliminated, and the thick yarn that is always wet with water does not rot and is not burned off by firepower.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described as follows.
Traditionally, chopsticks have been drilled at the top of the chopsticks and connected with a thick thread at an interval of about 3 centimeters. The chopsticks are about 1.5 times longer than the chopsticks used for meals. It is made long to cover hands from high temperatures for cooking fried foods, grilled foods, etc., so it is unstable even when standing on a chopstick stand when not in use, and draining water after draining chopsticks It is a convenient thick thread that can be drained regardless of the place if it is hung in the corner of the kitchen using this thick thread. However, this thick thread gets tangled with chopsticks and becomes inconvenient when used for cooking. While using chopsticks, the chopsticks rotate irregularly between fingers, and the thick thread gets entangled with the chopsticks, making it impossible to operate the chopsticks.
In the present invention, a groove (2) is provided at the upper end of the chopsticks body (1), and the coupling ring (3) combined with the chain (4) is fitted into the groove (2). The clearance between the coupling ring and the groove is about 1 mm. The chain (4) does not entangle with the chopstick body (1) even if the chopstick body (1) rotates irregularly.
In addition, since chopsticks are washed or are always in contact with water after use, the connection ring and chain material should be made of stainless steel or be plated so as not to rust.

Claims (1)

Grooves (2) are provided at the upper end of the main body (1) of the chopsticks (one set of two) and the connecting ring (3) is connected to both ends of the chain (4).
Insert the coupling ring (3) connected with the chain (4) into the groove (2) of the chopsticks body (1), and the outer diameter of the groove (2) and the inner diameter of the coupling ring (3) provide a gap of about 1 millimeter. . While using chopsticks, the chopsticks body rotates irregularly between the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger, but there is a gap of about 1 mm between the groove (2) provided on the chopsticks (1) and the connecting ring (3). Therefore, the chopstick body (1) rotates in the connecting ring (3), and the chain (4) can be used without tangling the chopsticks.
