Description

  The present invention relates to a chopstick rest on which name cards, business cards and other cards can be placed.

  A chopstick rest is a tool for resting chopsticks at a dinner table or the like, and is often a small pillow-shaped article made of wood, bamboo, ceramic, plastic, or the like. By the way, a chopstick rest with a business card stand has been proposed, in which the chopsticks placed on a chopstick rest at a banquet seat or the like can be easily recognized as being their own. In this chopstick rest, a deep cut is made at one end of a chopstick rest made in a cylindrical shape, a business card or the like is inserted, and the chopstick rest can be set up (for example, see Patent Document 1).

The chopstick rest is used by cutting a part of a cylindrical tube (tube-like one) made of vinyl, silicone rubber, synthetic resin or the like so as to cut a cross section, and inserting a business card or the like into the cut. In this case, since the shape of the chopstick rest is cylindrical, it is easy to fall on the dining table, and it is not easy to quickly and accurately arrange a large number of chopstick rests at predetermined positions during a banquet or the like. Inserting a business card or the like into a cylindrical chopstick rest is not always easy because the chopstick rest easily rolls.

  The present invention aims to provide a chopstick rest on which name cards, business cards and other cards can be set up, which can be stably placed on a dining table or the like, and in which cards can be inserted quickly and reliably. . Another object of the present invention is to make it easy to identify a person's name or the like written on cards inserted into a chopstick rest.

The main features of the present invention are as follows.
(1) A saddle-shaped body having a substantially inverted V-shaped cross section, a recess is provided near the center of the upper part of the saddle-shaped body to serve as a chopstick rest, and an upper end of the saddle-shaped body is provided. It is a chopstick rest with a card stand provided with a notch near the card stand.
(2) The chopstick rest with a card stand according to the above (1), wherein the cuts are inclined outward by 15 ° to 20 ° with respect to a vertical plane. If the inclination is small and 15 ° or less, it is difficult to read what is written on the cards, and if the inclination is large and 20 ° or more, it is difficult to insert the cards into a chopstick rest.
(3) The chopstick rest according to the above (1) or (2), wherein the opening of the cut is wider than the opening of the cut end. This is for facilitating insertion of the cards and for ensuring that the inserted cards are gripped.
(4) The chopstick rest with a card stand as described in any one of (1) to (3) above, wherein the opening of the slit is 1 to 2 mm and the opening of the cutting end is 0.3 to 0.5 mm. It is. In order to make it easier to insert cards, the opening of the cut is desirably 1 mm or more, and if it is 2 mm or more, the inserted card may become unstable. This is because the opening of the leading end of the cut is desirably at least 0.3 mm or more in order for the cards to be inserted, and conversely, when it is 0.5 mm or more, the inserted cards become unstable.
(5) The chopstick rest with a card stand according to any one of the above (1) to (4), wherein a design is engraved on a side surface of the substantially inverted V-shaped saddle-shaped body.

(1) The chopstick rest of the present invention can be stably placed on the table because the bottom portion is widened with respect to the top portion, and does not become unstable even if cards are inserted.
(2) Since the notch serving as the card stand is inclined with respect to the vertical plane, the name of the person or the like written on the inserted card or the like can be easily identified.
(3) Since the chopstick rest of the present invention is formed in a saddle shape as a whole, the chopstick rests can be densely overlapped with each other, which is convenient for storing or transporting a large number of chopstick rests.
(4) Differentiation can be achieved by engraving the scenic spots and memorial patterns of the area on the sides of the saddle.

  A method of pressing and molding a metal plate of copper, silver, brass, stainless steel or the like is usually used. When a design is to be put on the side of the chopstick rest, it may be molded at once by a press mold, or the design may be engraved later on a plain chopstick rest. Finally, it may be colored gold, silver or other colors.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a chopstick rest with a card stand. The pattern 6 on the side is an image of Sakurajima, but is not particularly limited. It is good to be able to imagine a local or commemorative matter. It is good to put both sides as well as one side.
In the case of the present embodiment, the stability is good because the bottom 1b is longer than the upper 1a.

  In FIG. 1, a chopstick rest 1 with a card stand has a saddle-shaped body as a whole, and a recess is provided near the center of an upper portion 1 a to form a chopstick rest 2. The notch 3a is wider than the notch tip 3b so that the card can be easily inserted.

  FIG. 3 is a side view of the chopstick rest with the card stand shown in FIG. The cut 3 is inclined at an angle of 15 ° to 20 ° with respect to the vertical plane. Also, while the cut 3a is 1-2 mm, the cut tip 3b is 0.3-0.5 mm, the cut is wide, the cut tip is narrow, and it is easy to insert a card. The inserted card is surely grasped. The boundary between the chopstick rest 2 and the upper part 1a of the chopstick rest with a card stand is a gentle curved surface 4.

  FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. The opening angle between the bottoms 1b and 1b is about 60 °. However, it is not particularly limited to this angle.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a state where the card 7 is actually set up on the chopstick rest 1 with a card holder. If the card is slightly inclined, it is easier to identify a person's name or name written on the surface of the card than to stand the card vertically.

  FIG. 2 is a perspective view of another embodiment. The bottom 1b is shorter than the top 1a. When a business card or name card is inserted, it tends to become unstable, but the upper part 1a is long and the chopstick rest 2 can be widened.

  FIG. 4 is a side view of the chopstick rest with card shown in FIG. The edge line 5 is not particularly meaningful, but by inserting the edge line, an effect that the design 6 drawn on the side surface stands out can be expected.

  When preparing meals for a large number of people at inns, hotels, restaurants, etc., the chopstick rest of the present invention can be arranged easily, quickly and securely, and the insertion of name tags etc. can be smoothly done, so prepare the banquet. Good effect.

  Furthermore, there is an advantage that the banquet attendee can surely check his / her own seat and chopsticks, and can make his / her PR available to other attendees with a name tag or the like inserted in the chopstick rest.

  Although the material of the chopstick rest of the present invention is not particularly limited, it is generally considered to be efficient to process metal.However, the use of metal makes the chopstick rest more robust and durable than ceramic or wooden ones. It is easy to clean, disinfect and sterilize even when it gets dirty, and it is hygienic.

It is a perspective view of the chopstick rest with a card stand (Example 1) It is a perspective view of the chopstick rest with a card stand (Example 2) It is a side view of the chopstick rest with a card stand (Example 1) It is a side view of the chopstick rest with a card stand (Example 2) FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 3 (Example 1). It is a perspective view which shows the usage example of the chopstick rest with a card stand (Example 1).
