Description

  The present invention relates to decorated chopsticks, and more particularly, to a decorative chopstick having an inclined portion in the vicinity of the head of the chopsticks and decorated on the inclined surface.

Chopsticks for meals are made of wood, bamboo, plastic, etc., and formed into a chopstick shape, which is then painted and patterned to obtain a design effect and increase the product value.
For painting and patterning, many means such as applying synthetic paint or lacquer or using a film are employed.

In the field of chopsticks, diversification of design and high-quality products are desired by improving consumers' lives.
Under such circumstances, the position of the person who conducts production and sales is faced with the challenge of increasing the production efficiency and reducing the cost while diversifying and increasing the quality of the product.

  Therefore, for example, as seen in Patent Document 1, a decorative body attached to the top of a chopstick, and as seen in Patent Document 2, a decorative body provided on the head can be replaced. In addition, as shown in Patent Document 3, diversification and upgrading means have been proposed in which a pattern is formed with a thread or cloth as shown in Patent Document 3, and this is covered and fixed with a heat-shrinkable tubular film.

However, the means shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 require processing such as making a hole in the top portion for attaching the decorative portion, and it is difficult to say that it is easy.
Moreover, in the means found in Patent Document 3, the effect as a means for obtaining a high-class feeling is sufficiently recognized, but it cannot be said that this processing means is also simple.

Further, as can be seen in Patent Document 4, means for cutting a head of a chopstick diagonally and drawing a pattern there has been proposed.
Furthermore, as can be seen in Patent Document 5, means has been proposed in which the head is cut obliquely, the inclined portion is decorated, and a convex lens-shaped resin cover is further attached.

In these means, Patent Document 4 is different from the producer's means because the consumer himself draws a picture on the inclined portion.
With respect to Patent Document 5, a unique effect is recognized, but there are aspects that cannot be said to be easy in terms of manufacturing.
