  However, in the case of these conventional structures, the tongs sandwiching part is used to separate foods such as salad vegetables and pasta, and when not in use, it is placed on the installation surface of a table or table. In other words, the installation surface is touched and dirt on the clamping part and the installation surface are forced to become unsanitary.

  The present invention aims to solve such inconveniences. Among the present inventions, the invention according to claim 1 comprises a tong body comprising a grip part and a pair of clamping parts capable of restoring an elastic position. The food tongue is provided with an upright holding portion for raising and holding the tong body in the grip portion.

  The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that the upright holding part is formed by forming the bottom surface of the base part of the grip part into a flat surface. A plurality of sandwiching protrusions are formed on opposing inner surfaces of the pair of sandwiching parts, respectively.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the tongs can be held upright on an installation surface such as the upper surface of a table or table by the above-mentioned standing holding part, and the tongs holding part is soiled. And the installation surface can be prevented from being soiled and can be used in a sanitary manner.

  In the invention according to claim 2, since the standing holding portion is formed by forming the base bottom surface of the grip portion into a flat surface, the standing holding portion can be stably held up and simplified. The manufacturing cost can be reduced, and in the device according to claim 3, a plurality of sandwiching convex portions are respectively formed on the opposing inner surfaces of the pair of sandwiching portions. Therefore, the food can be securely sandwiched without dropping the food.

It is a whole perspective view of the 2nd example of implementation of this invention. It is sectional drawing of the 2nd example of implementation of this invention. It is a front sectional view of the second embodiment of the present invention.

  1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment, and FIGS. 4 to 6 show a second embodiment.

  In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a tongue, which comprises a grip part 2 and a pair of clamping parts 3 and 3 that can be elastically restored in the direction of a double arrow as shown in FIG. It is made of synthetic resin.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes an upright holding portion, which is formed to hold the tongue body 1 upright on an installation surface G such as the upper surface of a table or a table, and in this case, the bottom surface of the base portion of the grip portion 2 on the flat surface F Formed and configured.

  In this case, the grip 2 is formed in an animal mimicry K so that the design is improved.

  Reference numeral 5 denotes a sandwiching convex portion, which is formed in parallel on the opposing inner surfaces of the pair of sandwiching portions 3, 3, operates to grip the pair of sandwiching portions 3, 3, and resists self-elasticity. The sandwiching parts 3 and 3 are closed to each other to sandwich food such as salad vegetables and pasta, the gripping operation of the pair of sandwiching parts 3 and 3 is released, and the self-position restoration of the pair of sandwiching parts 3 and 3 is performed. When the food is released and separated by opening the pair of holding parts 3 and 3 by elasticity, the food is held without being dropped.

  Reference numeral 6 denotes a finger insertion recess, which is formed on the outer surface of the base portion of the pair of sandwiching portions 3 and 3 so that a finger can be inserted during the gripping operation of the pair of sandwiching portions 3 and 3. The closing operation for pinching 3 is performed reliably.

  Since the first embodiment of the present embodiment has the above-described configuration, the tongs 1 can be held upright on the installation surface G such as the upper surface of a table or table by the upright holding part 4. 3 and the installation surface G can be prevented and can be used in a sanitary manner.

  In this case, the upright holding portion 4 is formed by forming the bottom surface of the base portion of the grip portion 2 on the flat surface F, so that the upright holding portion 4 can be stably held up and the upright holding portion 4 can have a simple structure. The manufacturing cost can be reduced, and in this case, since a plurality of sandwiching projections 5 are formed on the opposing inner surfaces of the pair of sandwiching portions 3 and 3, for example, food is released. When separating, the food can be securely sandwiched without dropping the food.

  The second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 shows another structure. In this case, the grip portion 2 is formed in a simple form and has a simple design.

  Also in this second embodiment, the same effects as those in the first embodiment can be obtained.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the size and shape of the tongue body 1, the grip portion 2, the pair of sandwiching portions 3 and 3, the structure of the upright holding portion 4 and the like are appropriately changed. It is designed.

  As described above, the intended purpose can be sufficiently achieved.
