Even in such a situation, chopsticks and toothpicks are indispensable items that are included in most restaurants and lunch boxes. Toothpick is often valued for its convenience, however, it is sometimes not packaged together because it is structurally divided into two parts.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Small toothpicks require special equipment to prevent rolling. However, dust accumulates in the container, and it is difficult to distinguish between used and unused, especially if the container is not wrapped, which is a hygienic problem.

[0004] Further, if the chopsticks and the toothpick are packaged together without being incorporated into the chopstick bag or the like, the toothpick may break the chopstick bag and go outside to be unusable.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and aims to provide a disposable chopstick and a toothpick that is hygienic and convenient to carry by taking advantage of the distinction between disposable use and unused. It is.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the chopsticks according to the present invention use a part of chopsticks and incorporate a toothpick.

[0011]

【Example】

 Embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. When making the center part of the chopsticks 1 and the groove 5 for splitting the chopsticks, use a part of the chopsticks to carve a groove 3 for accommodating the toothpick 2. In order to do so, one end 4 of the chopstick body 1 is slightly shortened.

The chopstick body and the toothpick are mainly made of wood and bamboo.

[0013]

[Effect of the invention]

 In the present invention, the chopsticks and the toothpick are integrated, and when the toothpick is used, the toothpick is detached from the chopstick body. It is sanitary without worrying about dust in the vessel.

Further, since the toothpick is incorporated in the chopsticks, it is possible to prevent damage to the packaging caused by the toothpick, which is a concern when packaging the chopsticks and the toothpick together.
