Forms a sufficient opening for taking out the chopstick body 1 before the fingers or lips reach the toothpick tip 2a even if it is opened from the longitudinal tear notch 36 on the chopstick base end 1b side. Therefore, the person who opens can stop the opening work, and the toothpick tip 2a can be prevented from coming into contact with the finger or lips.
Even if a finger or lip touches the toothpick 2 from the longitudinal tear notch 36 on the chopstick tip 1a side, even if a finger or a lip comes into contact with the toothpick 2, it is on the toothpick proximal end 2b side. And can prevent injury.

  Further, when the close contact side edge portion 53 is used in combination with the horizontal partition close contact portion 56, the number of close forming steps and time can be reduced, and manufacturing can be performed easily and quickly.

In the present invention, the design can be changed, and the material of the sealed bag 3 is preferably a transparent resin such as polypropylene, but is not limited to a resin and may be a paper. Further, each contact portion is not limited to heat fusion using heat-heated rollers or pressure plates, high-frequency fusion (welding), ultrasonic fusion (welding), etc., but also glue, etc. You may make it adhere | attach in one-piece | unit by adhesion | attachment (adhesion | attachment) etc. of an adhesive or adhesive agent. The orientation of the toothpick tip 2a and the toothpick base end 2b is arbitrary. For example, in FIG. 1, the toothpick tip 2a may be disposed so as to face the other long side Nb. You may arrange | position so that 2a may face the longitudinal one side Na. The toothpick 2 may be disposed near the other longitudinal side Nb of the sealed bag 3 or at a substantially central position in the longitudinal direction N of the sealed bag 3.
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, a portion where the surface side packaging portion 3 a and the back surface side packaging portion 3 b are brought into close contact with each other is shown by shading.

  As described above, in the completed chopsticks of the present invention, the chopstick body 1 is housed in the sealed bag body 3 in the sealed chopsticks in which the chopstick body 1 and the toothpick 2 are housed in the sealed bag body 3. Since the main storage space 31 and the sub storage space 32 in which the toothpick 2 is stored are partitioned, the movement of the toothpick 2 in the sealed bag 3 can be restricted, and the inside of the sealed bag 3 It is possible to easily and quickly confirm where the toothpick 2 is. The toothpick 2 does not move from a predetermined position inside the sealed bag body 3, and it is possible to prevent the toothpick tip 2a from damaging the fingers and lips of the unsealed person during the opening operation.
