Abstract

Provided is a chopstick having an uneven portion so that various foods can be easily grasped and at the same time, when the pair of chopsticks is separated, the food easily moves to the tip side of the chopsticks. A concave portion 2 and a convex portion 3 are formed on the surface of a chopstick 1 having a narrowed tip side so that the concave portion 2 and the convex portion 3 are sequentially repeated. The convex portion 3 is formed with a gentle inclined surface on the lower side which is the direction, and the convex portion 3 is formed so as to be a steep inclined surface on the upper side which is the grip portion side. When the food is gripped by the concavo-convex portions 2 and 3, chopsticks can bite into the food and can be firmly gripped, and at the same time, when the pair of chopsticks is released, it can be easily moved to the tip side. .

Description

  The present invention relates to a chopstick that has a shape that makes it easy to grip food when it is gripped by chopsticks, and that prevents the gripped food from moving upward and facilitates downward movement.

  Chopsticks are made of wood such as bamboo, willow, cedar, cocoon, chestnut, chestnut, mulberry, purple, ebony, ebony, etc., metal such as gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, bones of animals such as ivory, or It is made of various materials such as synthetic resin. The length is appropriately selected depending on the user and purpose of use, but various lengths such as 21 cm (7 dimensions) to 36 cm (1 scale 2 dimensions) are usually used. In addition, there are various shapes such as round, square, thick, thin, tapered, flat, etc., but those shapes gradually narrow toward the tip side, grabbing food The anti-slip function at the time and the ease of movement of food to the tip of the chopsticks when the pair of chopsticks were separated were not considered.

  Existing chopsticks are widely used not only in Japan but also in Korea or China, and the shape is almost the same. However, in recent years, there are increasing opportunities to eat various foods outside the home country in foreign countries. Along with this, chopsticks in the future are required to be different from conventional shapes depending on the type of food and the material of the chopsticks while maintaining the traditional shape.

  In addition, there are various types of food, such as light, heavy, soft, hard, thin, thick, small, large, long, short, etc., but depending on the type of food There were many things that were difficult to grasp.

  Furthermore, many chopsticks made of materials such as metals and synthetic resins described above are easy to slip.

  In addition, as described in the above-mentioned document 1, those provided with uneven portions by diamond-cut streaks form a mere anti-slip, and the protrusions at the tip of the document 2 are also mere anti-slip processing as described above. It was only.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is formed with uneven portions so that various foods can be easily grasped, and at the same time, when the pair of chopsticks are separated, the food easily moves to the tip side of the chopsticks.

  The present invention is characterized by a chopstick that forms a concavo-convex portion on the tip side of the chopsticks, and at the same time, the shape of the concavo-convex portion makes it easy to move the grasped food downward and difficult to move upward.

  Further, the surface shape of the groove serving as the concave portion is a gentle inclined surface from the bottom position of the groove to the tip direction with respect to the longitudinal direction of the chopsticks, and a steep inclined surface with respect to the gripping portion side. Features chopsticks.

  Furthermore, the shape of the groove serving as the concave portion is characterized by chopsticks that are inclined grooves inclined obliquely around the chopstick.

  In addition, the shape of the groove serving as the concave portion is characterized by chopsticks that are inclined grooves that are inclined in an oblique direction generated by twisting at least twice in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the chopsticks.

  The chopsticks of the present invention have a concavo-convex portion having a specific shape on the tip side, so that the food can be firmly grasped and can be prevented from falling.

  In addition, when eating the food grasped by the concavo-convex portion, the pair of chopsticks is opened, but when the pair of chopsticks is separated, the food becomes the mouth end of the chopsticks. It is easy to move to the side, difficult to move to the gripping part side, and can eat smoothly.

The side view of the chopsticks of this invention. The side view of the other Example of the chopsticks of this invention. The side view of the other Example of the chopsticks of this invention.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a concave portion 2 and a convex portion 3 are formed on the surface of a chopstick 1 having a thin tip, and the concave portion 2 and the convex portion 3 are sequentially repeated. The convex part 3 is formed with a gently inclined surface from the bottom position of the groove to the lower side which is the front end direction, and the convex part is a steep inclined surface with respect to the upper side which is the grip part side. 3 is formed. When the food is gripped by the concavo-convex portions 2 and 3, chopsticks can bite into the food and can be firmly gripped, and at the same time, when the pair of chopsticks is released, it can be easily moved to the tip side. .

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, an inclined groove 5 is formed in an oblique direction on a chopstick 4 having a thin tip. Since the inclined groove 5 is formed, it is easy to grasp the food, and since the inclined surface is formed obliquely, the food is difficult to move upward when the pair of chopsticks is released. It becomes easy to move downward. The inclined groove 5 surrounding the chopsticks 4 may have a spiral shape.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the third embodiment has a shape in which the tip side of a chopstick 6 having a narrow tip side is twisted at least twice in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the chopstick 6. By twisting the chopsticks 6, the inclined grooves 7 that are inclined are formed on the surface side of the chopsticks 6 as in the second embodiment. In particular, the upper twisted portion 8 can be prevented from falling downward when grasping food, and the lower twisted portion 9 can be prevented from moving toward the gripping finger. By forming the inclined groove 7, the food is difficult to move upward, and when the pair of chopsticks is released, it is easy to move downward as the tip side.
