Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a retractable eating and drinking utensil.

(Conventional technology) For example, lunch spoons and forks, etc.
It is fine if it can be placed in the chopstick holder that comes with the lunch box, but if not, it is stored in a separate bag and carried around. As a result, they tend to be unsanitary, and smaller ones that are portable are difficult to use.

(Technical Problem) The problem of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to make retractable eating and drinking utensils sanitary and easy to use.

(Technical means) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses a spoon,
The instrument part 1 is protruded through a shaft 4 into a case 3 which has a space 2 therein for storing an instrument part 1 such as a fork or a knife, and has a size and shape that covers the entire instrument part 1, The case 3 forms a handle when the instrument part is projected, and the case 3 is constructed by a container part 5 and a lid part 6 which are combined to be openable and closable.

(Function of the invention) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the utensil part 1 such as a spoon or fork can be stored in the case 3 when not in use, and can be stored alone in a bag or the like. Protects from dirt even when exposed to dirt. When in use, the instrument part 1 is made to protrude from the inside of the case 3 attached by the shaft 4, and can be used as a spoon or a fork, in which case the case 3 serves as the handle of the spoon or the like.

(Example) To explain with an illustrated example, illustrated case 3
It has an elongated shape large enough to accommodate the utensil part 1 of the spoon S, and for convenience, it consists of a container part 5 and a lid part 6, and an opening/closing shaft 7 provided on the longitudinal side. The engagement hole 8 is integrated so that the hinge can be opened and closed, and when closed, the engagement groove 9 on the side of the container 5
The lid portion 6 side hook 10 is engaged with the lid portion 6 side hook 10.

The case 3 of the embodiment has shaped portions 11 with arcuate and smooth corners at both ends, making it easy to grip as a handle, and the container portion 5 fits into the recesses 14 formed in the lid 13 of the lunch box 12. (Figure 5). Reference numeral 14' is a recessed portion for use as a finger hook (claw hook) for removing the container 5, and 15 and 15' are notches for opening the lid portion 6. Recess 14 in lid 13
The reason for providing two locations is that in addition to Spoon S, Fork F etc. can also be used together.

The instrument part 1 is made of resin or metal like the case,
It has a shaft 4 at the base end for inverting and protruding the instrument part 1 from inside the case to the outside, and has one end 16 of the main part 5.
It is rotatably supported by a shaft hole 17 provided in the
In the inverted state, that is, the state of use shown in FIG. 2, this pivot point and the handle base 18 hit the recessed step 19 and are stabilized in a state where they are pushed by the base 6. In this state, the hook 10
The instrument part 1 will not wobble.
Therefore, the hook 10 and the engaging groove 9 are provided closer to the recessed step portion 19 side.

(Effects of the invention) Therefore, according to the invention, the utensil part 1 is completely covered, so it can be stored hygienically, and moreover, various eating and drinking utensils such as spoons, forks, or forks can be formed by simply changing the utensil part 1. , these instrument parts 1
Since the case 3 is connected to the case 3 by the shaft 4, the case 3 also serves as a handle when in use, and therefore has excellent practical effects such as ease of use.
