Description

  The present invention relates to a disposable chopstick with a chopstick rest.

  A chopstick rest is sometimes attached to disposable chopsticks provided at restaurants and the like, but when the chopstick rest is filthy, it is unwilling to use it, and it may get in the way. Even at the restaurant side, it takes time and effort to arrange the chopstick rests on a table or to wash them after use.

  For this reason, conventionally, disposable chopsticks with a chopstick rest in which a chopstick rest is severable at the rear end of the disposable chopsticks have been proposed and are commercially available (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, these conventional disposable chopsticks with a chopstick rest cannot be used as a split chopstick unless the chopstick rest is separated, and there is a problem in that it is not easy to use. Further, in manufacturing, there is a problem that a part to be a disposable chopstick and a part to be a chopstick rest have to be molded separately, resulting in an increase in cost.

  The present invention was proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional chopsticks with chopstick rests, and the chopstick rest with a chopstick rest that can be cut at the rear end of the chopstick body requires a chopstick rest. It is an object of the present invention to provide a split chopstick with a chopstick rest that can be used as a split chopstick without cutting the chopstick rest when the chopstick rest is cut and used only when it is not necessary. Another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable chopstick with a chopstick rest that can be used as a chopstick rest by cutting the chopstick rest while the chopstick rest is still attached. It is another object of the present invention to provide a disposable chopstick with a chopstick rest that can be easily manufactured at low cost.

For the above-mentioned purpose, according to the invention according to claim 1, in the chopsticks with a chopstick rest in which a chopstick rest is formed in the rear end portion of the chopstick body through a cutting groove,
A split groove formed in the length direction of the chopstick body is formed to extend to the chopstick rest.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the split groove is formed over the entire length of the chopstick rest.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the cutting groove portion is formed so as to intersect the split groove portion.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the cutting groove is formed in a V shape on both the front and back surfaces of the chopstick body, and is wider than the split groove.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of the cutting groove portions are formed in the length direction of the chopstick body.

  According to the present invention, in the chopsticks with a chopstick rest that can be cut at the rear end of the chopstick body, the chopstick rest is cut and used only when the chopstick rest is necessary. Can be used as disposable chopsticks without cutting parts. In addition, the chopstick rest can be cut and used as a chopstick rest even while it is being used as a split chopstick with the chopstick rest attached. Furthermore, effects such as simple and low-cost production can be obtained.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a disposable chopstick with a chopstick rest according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view showing the usage state of the chopstick holder with chopstick rest according to the present invention with the chopstick rest portion attached. FIG. 3 is an overall perspective view of the chopstick rest with a chopstick rest according to the present invention in a state where it is used.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the chopsticks with a chopstick rest according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the chopstick body 1 is an elongated wooden flat bar piece, has a thickness and length suitable for use as a chopstick, and gradually increases from the front end to the rear end. The shape is wide. A split groove 2 is formed in the length direction of the chopstick body 1 at the center of the chopstick body 1 in the width direction, and a cutting groove 3 is formed in the width direction of the chopstick body 1 near the rear end of the chopstick body 1. Is formed. A chopstick rest 4 is provided at the rear end of the chopstick body 1 with the cutting groove 3 as a boundary.

  The split groove portion 2 is a thin line-shaped cut, is formed to face the front and back surfaces of the chopstick body 1, passes through the cutting groove portion 3 from the front end portion of the chopstick body 1, and is formed at the rear end portion of the chopstick rest portion 4. It extends to the end. Thus, a pair of left and right chopstick bars 1a and 1b are formed on the chopstick body 1. The depth and width of the split groove portion 2 are not particularly limited as long as the chopstick bars 1a and 1b can be pulled apart with both hands along the split groove portion 2. If the split groove portion 2 is separated from the tip portion to the vicinity of the intermediate portion of a predetermined length at the time of manufacture, the left and right chopstick bars 1a and 1b can be easily separated when the chopstick body 1 is used.

  The cutting groove 3 is formed so as to intersect (orthogonally) the split groove 2. The cutting groove 3 has a V-shaped cross-section and is formed to face both the front and back surfaces of the chopstick body 1. The depth and width of the cutting groove portion 3 are not particularly limited as long as the rear end portion (chopstick rest portion 4) of the chopstick body 1 can be folded by hand, but here, the groove width is wider than the split groove 2. ing. Thereby, the boundary with the chopstick rest 4 becomes clear, and the chopstick rest 4 can be easily cut. The position for forming the cut and cut groove 3 is arbitrary as long as the length of the chopstick rest 4 can be secured.

  The method of using the disposable chopsticks of the above-described embodiment is as follows. First, when using as a normal split chopstick (when a chopstick rest is not required), as shown in FIG. 2, when the chopstick rods 1a and 1b are pulled left and right by hand along the split groove portion 2, The entire split groove 2 including the chopstick rest 4 is pulled apart to form two chopstick bars 1a and 1b. The chopstick rests 4a and 4b remain at the rear ends of the chopstick bars 1a and 1b, respectively, and the two chopstick bars 1a and 1b in this state are used as chopsticks.

  When the chopstick rest is necessary, as shown in FIG. 3, the chopstick rest 4 which is the rear end of the chopstick body 1 is manually folded along the cutting groove 3 and separated, and then the chopstick stick 1a on the chopstick body 1 side, 1b is pulled away along the split groove 2 as described above, and the two chopstick bars 1a and 1b are used as chopsticks. The separated chopstick rest 4 is used as a chopstick rest for placing the tips of the chopstick bars 1a and 1b.

  In the above usage example, the chopstick rest 4 is folded from the beginning and used as a chopstick rest. However, when the chopstick sticks 1a and 1b with the chopstick rest 4 attached are used as chopsticks, the chopstick rest becomes necessary. One or both of the chopstick rests 4a and 4b formed on the chopstick bars 1a and 1b can be folded at the positions of the cutting grooves 3a and 3b (see FIG. 2) to be used as a chopstick rest.

  In the above-described embodiment, the cutting groove 3 is formed in one place of the chopstick body 1. However, in the case of a relatively long split chopstick such as chopsticks, a plurality of chopstick bodies 1 are arranged at appropriate intervals at the rear end of the chopstick body 1. If the cutting groove 3 is formed, the chopstick rest 4 can be cut at a position of a desired length. Further, the split groove 2 is formed over the entire length of the chopstick rest 4, but if the chopstick bars 1a, 1b of the chopstick body 1 can be split cleanly, the split groove 2 is left leaving the end of the chopstick rest 4 slightly. May be formed. Further, the cutting groove 3 may be formed in a V shape or an S shape in the width direction of the chopstick body 1. The shape of the chopsticks 1a, 1b can be a polygonal shape such as a pentagon, a hexagon, or a round shape.

  Since the split chopsticks with a chopstick rest according to the present invention merely form the split groove 2 at the entire length of the chopstick body 1 at the center in the width direction of the chopstick body 1, and only form the cutting groove 3 at the rear end of the chopstick body 1. It is easy to manufacture disposable chopsticks with a chopstick rest at low cost.

  The present invention can be used as disposable chopsticks with disposable wooden chopstick rests used in restaurants and general homes.
