[Embodiment of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the appearance and structure of a chopstick holder according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 (A) is a side view of the chopstick case in which the chopsticks are put in, and FIG. 2 (B) is a plan view.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a chopstick holder according to the present invention in which the above-mentioned chopstick holder is subjected to size / area unit conversion, size display printing, and the like.

First, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the structure of the chopstick holder 20 is a strip-shaped upper lid 1 and a lower lid having a length L of 170 to 250 mm, a width Y of 8 to 20 mm, and a thickness Z of 1 to 5 mm. 2, the thickness D is 1.5 times or more and less than 2 times the thickest root dimension d of the chopsticks 3, and the wall surfaces 4 and 5 facing each other in parallel with each other have an interval K of 3 to 8 mm in a plan view. It is composed of a U-shaped chopstick tip side storage section 7, and one end 2a of the lower lid 2 is attached to the chopstick tip side storage section 7 so that the lower lid 2 closes a gap 6 below the chopstick tip side storage section 7. It is fixed in accordance with the edge 8a of the horizontal portion 8 and the end portion 1a of the upper lid 1 is attached to the center of the horizontal portion 8 of the chopstick tip side storage portion by a shaft 9 so as to be horizontally rotatable. The tip side of the chopstick tip is stored in the chopstick tip side storage portion 7 by rotating the upper lid 1 around the axis 9 on the horizontal plane as shown by the arrow so as to overlap the lower lid 2. It has a structure in which the base side 3a (thick hand side) of the two chopsticks 3 thus formed is pressed from both upper and lower directions to be sandwiched.

Each member of the upper lid 1, the lower lid 2 and the chopstick tip side storage portion 7 will be described in more detail. It is preferable that the upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2 are made of plastic or bamboo which is rich in elasticity and durable. Since the upper lid 1 is pivotally attached to the chopstick tip side storage portion 7 only with the shaft core 9, it is important to firmly tighten the upper lid 1 although it is rotatable so as to prevent wobbling.

Further, the lower lid 2 may be rotatable similarly to the upper lid 1, but it seems sufficient to rotate only the upper lid 1 on one side to store the chopsticks 3. For ease of consideration, the shaft core 11 is temporarily attached to the chopstick tip-side storage portion 7 while it is fitted around a groove provided on the back surface of the chopstick tip-side storage portion 7 or rotated around the shaft attachment with an adhesive or the like. Fix it so that it does not move freely.

In addition, the chopstick tip side storage portion 7 has a horizontally-shaped U shape in plan view, but the length thereof is about half (100 to 120 mm) of the chopstick 3, and the horizontal portion 8 (U-shaped). The maximum width W1 of the vertical line) is 27 to 35 mm, the tip side is gradually narrowed and the minimum width W2 is 17 to 23 mm, and the appearance of the chopstick tray 20 storing the chopsticks 3 together with the upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2 is shown in FIG. It resembles a fan-closed shape as a whole.

The chopstick case 20 that stores high-grade chopsticks such as silk, painted chopsticks and the like gives a tasteful impression along with the chopsticks 3, and especially in Japanese cuisine, it further adds to the entertainment.

Next, the holding mechanism of the chopsticks 3 of the chopstick holder 20 will be described with reference to FIG.

As is clear from FIG. 2, since the thickness D (constant) of the chopstick tip side storage portion 7 has a relationship of D <2d with the thickest root dimension d of the chopstick 3, (A) of FIG. When the chopsticks 3 are piled up and down and sandwiched between the upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2 as shown in the above, the originally straight upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2 are pushed out in the area where they are brought into contact with the base side of the chopsticks 3 and slightly outside. It bends (deforms) inward, and the elastic force at this time presses the chopsticks 3 against each other as shown by the arrow F to sandwich them.

About half of the tip side of the chopstick 3 is stored in the chopstick tip side storage portion 7, and the base side is firmly sandwiched between the upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2, so there is no risk of falling off.

However, since there is no danger of falling off only by sandwiching by the elastic force, as a precaution, make sure to make contact with the thickest root end face 3b of the chopsticks 3 stored near the facing ends of the upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2. If the structure is such that the hole 11 through which the holding cord 15 is passed and the holding notch 12 for connecting the holding cord 15 to connect the upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2 are provided on one side, the holding cord is more secure and the holding cord attached to the fan. It can be used as a hook, which has a bunch and adds a sense of quality.

The width Y of the upper lid 1 and the lower lid 2 is made larger than the gap K between the wall surfaces of the chopstick tip side storage section 7 to completely protect the tip half of the chopsticks 3 stored in the chopstick tip side storage section 7. However, the root side (hand side) half of the chopsticks 3 protruding from the chopstick tip side storage portion 7 is naturally the side side of the chopsticks 3 still visible.

There is no problem in hygiene even if the holding area of the chopsticks 3 is visible, and on the contrary, it is interesting to see the painted and painted portions of the chopsticks.

Next, FIG. 3 gives a dimension indication S1 of cm on the surface of the upper lid 1 of the chopstick holder 20 to give a usage method as a substitute for a rule, and gives an angle indication S2 to the horizontal portion 8 to give the upper lid 1 It is provided with a method to use as a protractor by rotating.

In addition, the front surface (top surface, back surface, side surface) of the chopstick tip side storage portion 7 is provided with unit conversions of dimensions and areas, zodiac characters and pictures, and lucky charms such as Daikichi (including engraving). It may be a good idea to help with the entertainment.

However, the user can feel the elegance of the fan-shaped chopstick case with a good taste and can also be used as a measuring tool for measuring the dimensions, and it is needless to say that the unique chopstick storage mechanism is also easy to handle. Yes.

As described above, the chopstick holder 20 of the present invention is an original chopstick storing mechanism, and has an elegant fan shape as a whole, which is suitable for high-grade chopsticks such as painted chopsticks and has an added value. It is an excellent idea.
