Description

The present invention relates to a stand for cutlery such as chopsticks, spoons, forks, knives, etc. In particular, the present invention relates to a stand for cutlery on which cutlery can be placed with one hand parallel to the table surface without directly contacting the table surface.

Cutlery such as chopsticks, spoons, forks, and knives used during meals are often placed on a stand such as a chopstick rest or a cutlery rest so as not to be placed directly on the table. However, some people think that the cutlery stand itself is not very hygienic because the tip of the cutlery that has come into contact with food or brought to the mouth is placed on the same chopstick rest, cutlery rest, etc. over and over again. many.

On the other hand, the number of people who eat without using one hand due to aging, accidents, illness, etc. is increasing, and there is a need for tools and methods that allow cutlery to be handled easily and hygienically with one hand.

Devices for maintaining the tip of cutlery in a sanitary manner have been studied for some time. However, those that have a configuration similar to a drainer rack, or those that have a chopstick support mechanism in the center of the chopsticks as in Patent Document 1, are basically placed vertically, and many of them are large-scale. There was a problem in that it felt strange when placed on a dining table and was difficult to use as a stand for cutlery while eating.

Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. Although the description will be given with reference numerals, the present invention is not limited thereby.

(stand for cutlery)
A cutlery stand 1 according to the present invention includes a holding part 2 and a support part 3. In addition, in this specification, the support part 3 of the cutlery stand 1 may be called the lower side, and the clamping part 2 may be called the upper side.
In addition, in this specification, "cutlery" refers to chopsticks, spoons, forks, knives, etc. that are used to separate food, cut it into bite-sized pieces, scoop it, and transport it from tableware such as plates to the mouth. Refers to eating utensils.

(Holding part)
The holding part 2 includes an upper stage surface part 4, a lower stage surface part 5, and an upper and lower stage surface connecting part 6 that connects the upper stage surface part 4 and the lower stage surface part 5 in a direction perpendicular to the stage surfaces, and has a shape that can hold the cutlery.
The upper surface part 4 and the lower surface part 5 are arranged approximately parallel to each other, and the clamping distance d, which is the distance between the upper stage surface part 4 and the lower stage surface part 5, is approximately the same as the thickness of the gripping part of the cutlery to be clamped, or the thickness of the cutlery to be clamped. The thickness is set to be slightly larger or slightly smaller than the thickness of the gripping part. By setting the thickness to such a value, it is possible to easily remove the clamped cutlery from the cutlery stand 1 while suppressing the clamped cutlery from falling.
The upper and lower stage surface connecting parts 6 may be fixed so that the distance between the clamping parts is d, or the clamping part distance d can be adjusted using screws, springs, etc. so that gripping parts of various sizes can be accommodated. It may be possible. Further, the upper and lower step surface connecting portions 6 may have a structure that penetrates above the upper step surface portion 4.

The upper surface portion 4 has an upper connecting portion 4a and an upper tip portion 4b, and the lower surface portion 5 has a lower connecting portion 5a and a lower tip portion 5b.In a top view, the upper connecting portion 4a and the lower connecting portion 5a overlap. In addition, the upper end portion 4b and the lower end portion 5b are located on the same side with respect to the upper connecting portion 4a and the lower connecting portion 5a. That is, the direction from the upper connecting part 4a to the upper leading end 4b is on the same side as the direction from the lower connecting part 5a to the lower connecting part 5b.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an example of the present invention is such that the line of the upper connecting portion 4a and the line of the upper connecting portion 4a are placed inside the lower surface area between the extension line of the line of the lower connecting portion 5a and the lower end portion 5b when viewed from above. The entire upper surface area between the upper end portions 4b is arranged to overlap, and the length from the upper connecting portion 4a to the upper end portion 4b is smaller than the length from the lower connecting portion 5a to the lower end portion 5b. be.
In the case of FIGS. 1 and 2, when viewed from above, the line of the lower connecting portion 5a coincides with its extension line, so the entire upper surface area is inside the lower surface area between the lower connecting portion 5a and the lower tip 5b. are placed overlapping each other. In this case, the length from the upper connecting part 4a to the upper leading end 4b is smaller than the length from the lower connecting part 5a to the lower leading end 5b.
In the case of FIGS. 5 and 6, which are another example of the present invention, when viewed from above, the upper and lower stage surface connecting parts 6 are located inside the lower stage surface part 5, and the line extension of the line of the lower stage connecting part 5a and the lower stage front end part 5b are connected to each other. The lower surface area indicated by diagonal lines in between is arranged so that the entire upper surface portion 4 overlaps with the lower surface area.
Because of this shape, when holding the cutlery, the cutlery may be temporarily placed between the upper tip 4b and the lower tip 5b, or the cutlery may be slid along the lower surface 5 and placed on the cutlery stand 1. It is also possible to pinch the cutlery, and the cutlery can be held stably.
Note that, when viewed from above, the lines of the upper connecting portion 4a and the lower connecting portion 5a are preferably straight lines, but may be curved lines. In the case of a curve, its extension is the extension of the line represented by linear approximation.

Another example of the present invention is that, as shown in FIG. 3, when viewed from above, the line of the lower connecting portion 5a and the lower connecting portion The entire lower surface area between the tip portions 5b is arranged to overlap, and the length from the upper connecting portion 4a to the upper tip portion 4b is greater than the length from the lower connecting portion 5a to the lower tip portion 5b. .
In the case of FIG. 3, since the line of the upper connecting portion 4a coincides with its extension line, the entire lower surface area is arranged to overlap inside the upper surface area between the upper connecting portion 4a and the upper end portion 4b. In this case, the length from the upper connecting part 4a to the upper leading end 4b is longer than the length from the lower connecting part 5a to the lower leading end 5b.
Because of this shape, when holding the cutlery, it is possible to slide the cutlery along the upper surface part 4 and sandwich it in the cutlery stand 1, and it is possible to stably hold the cutlery.
Note that, when viewed from above, the lines of the upper connecting portion 4a and the lower connecting portion 5a are preferably straight lines, but may be curved lines. In the case of a curve, its extension is the extension of the line represented by linear approximation.

As long as the upper stage surface part 4 and the lower stage surface part 5 have the above configuration, there is no restriction on the shape, but the following combinations are exemplified.
In the example of FIG. 2(a), the upper surface portion 4 is approximately rectangular, and the lower surface portion 5 is approximately circular. In the example shown in FIG. 2(b), the upper surface portion 4 is approximately rectangular, the upper end portion 4b is arcuate, and the lower surface portion 5 is approximately circular. In the example of FIG. 2(c), both the upper surface portion 4 and the lower surface portion 5 are approximately rectangular. In the example shown in FIG. 2(d), the upper surface portion 4 is approximately rectangular, the upper end portion 4b is arcuate, and the lower surface portion 5 is approximately rounded and approximately inverted triangular.
Moreover, in the example of FIG. 3(a), the upper stage surface part 4 is approximately circular, and the lower stage surface part 5 is approximately rectangular. In the example shown in FIG. 3(b), the upper surface portion 4 is approximately circular, the lower surface portion 5 is approximately rectangular, and the lower end portion 5b is arcuate. In the example of FIG. 3(c), both the upper surface portion 4 and the lower surface portion 5 are approximately rectangular. In the example shown in FIG. 3(d), the upper surface portion 4 has a rounded substantially inverted triangle shape, the lower surface portion 5 has a substantially rectangular shape, and the lower end portion 5b has an arc shape.
In addition, both the upper surface portion 4 and the lower surface portion 5 may have a water drop shape, a star shape, a flower shape, etc., as long as the above-mentioned structural requirements are satisfied.

Further, in the example shown in FIG. 7A, the upper end portion 4b is formed at an upward angle with respect to the surface of the upper surface portion 4. In the example shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 7B, the lower end portion 5b is formed at a downward angle with respect to the lower surface portion 5. In the example shown in FIG. By setting the angle in this way, it becomes possible to insert and hold the cutlery more smoothly when holding the cutlery. Note that FIG. 7A shows an example in which the entire upper surface section 4 overlaps inside the lower surface area of the lower surface section 5, and FIG. 7B shows an example in which the entire lower surface section 5 overlaps inside the upper surface area of the upper surface section 4. This is an example of overlapping.
In addition, the inner surfaces of the upper surface section 4 and the lower surface section 5 may be slightly wavy as long as the cutlery can smoothly slide on the lower surface section 5 when being held. The cutlery does not easily fall out and can be held stably.

Further, although not shown, a hole may be provided inside the upper surface area of the upper step surface section 4 and/or a hole may be provided inside the lower step surface area of the lower step surface section 5. Since the gripping part of the cutlery is longer than the cutlery stand 1, even if there is a hole inside the upper surface area or the lower surface area, it will slide smoothly along either the upper surface section 4 and/or the lower surface section 5. It allows you to hold cutlery. By opening holes, members may be saved and machining may be facilitated.

(Support part)
The support part 3 is connected to the lower surface part 5, and supports the holding part 2 and the cutlery stand 1 so that they are difficult to move when holding the cutlery.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the support portion 3 includes a support stand and a connecting rod, and the connecting rod of the support portion 3 is connected to the lower connecting portion 5a of the lower surface portion 5. The support base of the support part 3 is designed to have a reaction force larger than the force applied in the direction from the lower end part 5b to the upper and lower surface connection parts 6 (in the direction towards the lower connection part 5a) when the support part 3 is held. The bottom of the support base is preferably made of a material or surface with a high coefficient of friction. Alternatively, by setting the weight of the support part 3 to a certain level or more, the cutlery stand 1 can be made difficult to move on the table, and the cutlery can be stably held. In addition, in the example of FIG. 1, the connecting rod of the support part 3 and the upper and lower step surface connecting parts 6 may be integrally formed, or may be formed by combining separate parts.
Moreover, in the example of FIG. 1, it is also possible to decorate the space of the support base of the support part 3 as desired. Characters, dolls, and various miniatures can be attached to the support stand by gluing, screwing, integral molding, etc. It should be noted that the decoration should be done in a place that does not interfere with the attachment and detachment of the cutlery using a part of the upper and lower tier surface connection parts 6 or the support part 3, which will become the finger supports described later.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the lower surface portion 5 and the support portion 3 are integrally formed. That is, the upper surface of the support portion 3 becomes the surface of the lower step surface portion 5. In this case, since the volume of the support portion 3 can be increased, there is an advantage that weight balance can be easily maintained. Furthermore, since the number of members is small, it is also possible to suppress production costs.

In the example of FIG. 5, the upper and lower step surface connecting portions 6 are located inside the lower step surface portion 5 when viewed from above. In this way, as long as the condition that the upper surface part 4 overlaps the lower surface area of the lower surface part 5 is satisfied, the lower stage connecting part 5a (upper and lower stage surface connecting part 6) may be placed at any position of the lower stage surface part 5. .

(Finger support part)
The finger support portion is a portion that is mainly supported by the thumb when holding the cutlery, and the upper and lower step surface connecting portions 6 or a part of the support portion 3 serve as the finger support portion.
When the cutlery to be held is lightly pressed against the lower tip 5b of the lower surface section 5 or the upper tip 4b of the upper surface section 4 and slid, the finger support section allows the cutlery to be held smoothly by supporting it with your thumb or the like. Can be held. This stabilizes the holding part 2 and makes it difficult for the cutlery stand 1 to move relative to the table surface or the like.
When holding cutlery with one hand, it is assumed that the thumb of the same hand should be placed on the front side of the finger support (opposite side from holding part 2), but if you can use both hands, use another finger or You can also press it with your palm.

(How to make a stand for cutlery)
The cutlery stand 1 of the present invention may be molded from plastic, or may be assembled by screwing metal, wood, or other members together. Some or all of the members of the upper stage surface part 4, the lower stage part 5, the upper and lower stage surface connecting parts 6, and the support part 3 may be integrally formed, or each member may be prepared and assembled. The materials of the members may be the same or different.

The holding portion 2 may be made of an elastic material, and it is particularly desirable that the upper end portion 4b of the upper surface portion 4 has elasticity. When gripping a cutlery that is approximately the same as the gripping distance d, or slightly larger than or slightly smaller than the gripping distance d, the space between the upper tip 4b and the lower surface 5 can be easily expanded. This is because it is easy to return, so the work of holding the cutlery becomes smooth, and the cutlery is less likely to fall after being held.

As described above, it is preferable that the support part 3 is made of a material that has a weight above a certain level and can balance the weight, and that the bottom part of the support part 3 is made of a material that has a higher coefficient of friction. Non-slip material may be attached to the bottom.

The size of the cutlery stand 1 is not particularly limited as long as it can hold the cutlery to be held. The length of the gripping part is the maximum length of the line parallel to the upper connecting part 4a in the upper surface area of the upper stage part 4, and the maximum length of the line parallel to the lower connecting part 5b in the lower surface area of the lower stage part 5. If the cutlery is longer than the maximum length of the cutlery, the cutlery can be held. As an example, the maximum length of lines parallel to the upper connecting portion 4a in the upper surface area of the upper surface portion 4, and the maximum length of lines parallel to the lower connecting portion 5b in the lower surface area of the lower surface portion 5. An example of the cutlery stand 1 is that the length is 3 cm to 12 cm, and the distance from the bottom of the support part 3 to the lower surface part 5 is 3 cm to 20 cm.

(How to use cutlery stand)
The cutlery stand 1 of the present invention can be used as in the following example.
Place the finger support part of the cutlery stand 1 (the upper and lower tier surface connecting parts 6 or a part of the support part 3) in front, and hold the cutlery 8 with either the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, or little finger of the right or left hand. Grip it with two or more fingers, and hang the thumb of the same hand on the front side of the finger support.
If the length from the upper connecting part 4a to the upper end 4b is smaller than the length from the lower connecting part 5a to the lower end 5b, press the cutlery 8 near the lower end 5b of the lower surface part 5 with your finger while pressing it against the upper surface. It is slid toward the support part side and held between the upper stage surface part 4 and the lower stage surface part 5.
On the other hand, if the length from the upper connecting part 4a to the upper end 4b is larger than the length from the lower connecting part 5a to the lower end 5b, press the cutlery 8 against the lower surface of the upper end 4b of the upper surface part 4. Slide it toward the finger support part and sandwich it between the upper stage surface part 4 and the lower stage surface part 5.
With this method of use, the cutlery 8 can be smoothly held on the cutlery stand 1 even with one hand. (See FIG. 8. The support part 3 is not shown in FIG. 8.)

In Fig. 8, the finger support is placed in front of the user assuming that the chopsticks will be held in the right hand while eating, but if the user holds the spoon, knife, or fork in the right hand, the cutlery stand 1 can It can also be used by rotating it to the right and placing the finger support at the 9 o'clock position when viewed from above.

If you want to use the cutlery 8 again for eating, hold the grip part of the cutlery 8 with your hand and slide the surface of the lower surface part 5 parallel to the table surface, and the cutlery stand 1 will be removed from the table surface. It can be easily removed without moving.

(others)
