The bottom surface 2b of the main body 2 is formed in a flat shape so that the chopstick rest 1 can be stably placed on a table or the like. Longitudinal direction of the main body 2 The bottom surface 2b on one end side is extended in the longitudinal direction to form an extended bottom surface 2c, which serves as a mounting surface for the separation end portion 3. A cavity portion 2f having a predetermined length in the length direction is formed extending toward the other end 2e on one end surface 2d in the length direction of the main body 2.

A protrusion 3 b is formed on the end face 3 a of the substantially rectangular separating end 3 that faces the one end face 2 d of the main body 2, and the protrusion 3 b projects toward the one end face 2 d of the main body 2. It is adapted to be inserted into the portion 2f. A fitting hole 3c having a predetermined depth is formed in the projection 3b in the projecting direction so that the toothpick 4 can be detachably mounted in the fitting hole 3c. The other end surface 3d of the separation end portion 3 has a pore 3e communicating with the fitting hole 3c. When the toothpick 4 is broken from the root, a needle-like member (not shown) is inserted through the pore 3e. It can be pushed out. The pores 3e have a diameter smaller than the thickness of the toothpick 4. The bottom surface 3f of the separating end portion 3 is formed into a flat surface, and slides on the extending bottom surface 2c of the main body 2 to be placed thereon.

In the chopstick rest 1 configured as described above, when carrying it on a trip or the like, the toothpick 4 is fitted into the fitting hole 3c of the projection 3b of the separation end portion 3 and the projection 3b is a cavity of the main body 2. The toothpick 4 may be inserted into the portion 2f, and the toothpick 4 may be positioned in the hollow portion 2f and carried. At this time, since the protrusion 3b is located in the cavity 2f and fixes the position of the toothpick 4, the toothpick 4 is protected in the cavity 2f of the main body 2 and is not broken. Further, since the separation end 3 is placed on the extended bottom surface 2c of the main body 2, the bottom surface 3f of the separation end 3 serves as a guide surface, and when the protrusion 3b is located inside the cavity 2f, the separation end 3 is separated. The portion 3 slides with respect to the main body 2 only in the lengthwise direction of the toothpick 4, and the toothpick 4 is not broken due to excessive force. When the chopstick rest 1 is needed at a destination such as a travel destination, the chopstick rest 1 composed of the separating end 3 and the main body 2 can be taken out and placed on the chopsticks. When the toothpick 4 is needed after eating, the main body 2 It is sufficient that the separation end 3 is detached from the main body 2 while the above is placed, and the toothpick 4 fitted in the fitting hole 3c of the projection 3b of the separation end 3 is removed for use.

Of course, the invention of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and the point is that the main body 2 of the longitudinal member having the placement surface of the chopsticks and the one end of the main body 2 in the longitudinal direction are detachably provided. A cavity 2f having a predetermined length toward the other end 2e in the length direction of the main body 2 is formed on the end surface 2d located at the one end side of the main body 2, which is composed of the separating end 3 and the separating end 3. The portion 3a of the portion 3 facing the end surface 2d of the main body is formed with a fitting hole 3c for detachably mounting the toothpick 4 in the length direction of the main body 2, and is mounted in the fitting hole 3c when the separation end portion is mounted. What is necessary is that the toothpick 4 is located inside the cavity 2f of the main body. For example, if the toothpick 4 is made of synthetic resin and the separating end 3 is fitted to the main body 2, it is possible to apply an unreasonable lateral force to the toothpick 4 with the toothpick 4 housed. There is no.
