Description

Disposable tongs {DISPOSAL TONGS}

The present invention relates to a disposable forceps, and more particularly, to a disposable forceps to be used in the intake of food, such as fast food to prevent direct contact between food and fingers.

In the case of eating food, most people use tableware such as cutlery and chopsticks, but in some cases, the food is picked up by hand. Fast foods such as pizza, hamburgers or chicken are typical examples. In this case, the food is in direct contact with the hands, especially the fingers, so wash your hands before ingestion, and food in contact with the fingers during ingestion, other containers, such as drinking cups may be contaminated. Therefore, it is inconvenient to clean the fingers using a napkin or the like frequently during ingestion, as well as an increase in the amount of napkin use is very disadvantageous in terms of environmental protection.

As an alternative to solve this problem, the Korean Utility Model Registration Application No. 20-2007-0000719 (designation: finger gloves) can be inserted at the tip of the finger when ingesting fast food, etc. We have proposed a fingertip glove that can be prevented. Figure 1 shows the glove for the finger, which is made of a synthetic resin and formed as a pair of left and right symmetry to be worn on both left and right fingers, a certain interval to wear only the thumb, index finger, middle finger A thumb, the index finger, and the stop fitting portions 10, 11 and 12 formed to be placed; A connection part connecting the lower end of the thumb, the index finger, and the stop fitting part to connect the thumb, the index finger, and the stop fitting part; It is configured to include a cut portion that is easily dropped during use while connecting between the left and right thumb portions formed.

By using such a finger glove, it is possible to fundamentally block food from getting on the finger, it is advantageous in terms of environmental pollution as it can reduce the use of napkins as well as hygiene problems.

However, there is a problem because the synthetic resin material constituting the finger glove is a material causing environmental pollution. That is, the glove used is a material that does not rot, so it must be collected and managed separately, which is a problem. In addition, the thickness of the finger different for each person can not be appropriately responded, for example, a small finger such as a child is not properly fixed to the finger is inconvenient to use. In order to solve this problem, since a plurality of products having different sizes must be provided, production and management are difficult.

In addition, since the material itself is not rigid, when used in a restaurant, when the product is taken out from the storage box, adjacent products are stuck together, so there is a problem that it is inconvenient to pull out one by one.

In addition, synthetic resin materials have a high possibility of releasing environmental hormones, which is a problem in recent years, and when used in the case of eating a relatively high temperature food, for example, chicken or pizza, there is a fear that the environmental hormones are transferred to food.

In order to improve this, a finger glove of a form made of a material which can be naturally decomposed, for example, paper, has also been proposed. This is a form in which a finger-insertable pocket is disposed at both ends, and the pocket is connected between the pockets by a member in the form of a band. It is intended to be advantageous from the side.

However, in the case of a finger glove made of synthetic resin or paper described above, a part having a bag shape is required in common, and this part has a disadvantage of complicating the manufacturing process. Particularly, in the case of paper, a separate bonding process is required to form a bag shape, which not only increases manufacturing cost and production process but also requires an adhesive in the process. Have

In particular, a separate mold must be manufactured for the bonding process, which greatly increases the cost of installing the production equipment. Such an increase in cost eventually increases the cost of the product, which makes it economically impossible to use disposable.

The present invention is devised to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art as described above, it is easy to use, functionally the same as the conventional finger glove, but does not require a separate bonding process can be manufactured at a low cost disposable tongs Providing is a technical challenge.

In order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention has a band shape having a first end and a second end extending to both sides about a central portion where the fold line is formed, with a finger on the first end and the second end; Disposable tongs for picking up food and the like by applying pressure, wherein the first end and the second end are provided with a plurality of protrusions for preventing slip and reinforcing beads extending in the longitudinal direction to prevent bending, and the folding The line provides a disposable tong, characterized in that it comprises a plurality of lines that are not parallel to each other.

Here, the plurality of lines not parallel to each other of the fold line may be a pair of arcuate lines facing each other.

Preferably, the fold line may further include a pair of isosceles triangular lines disposed between the pair of arcuate lines.

In addition, the fold line may further include a pair of 'Y' shaped lines disposed between the pair of arched lines.

Preferably, the plurality of protrusions may be disposed parallel to each other in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the first and second ends.

Preferably, the reinforcing beads may be disposed in pairs with the protrusions interposed therebetween.

Preferably, the outer circumferential portions of the first and second ends may be bent toward a portion where the fingers touch. In other words, the first end and the second end may be formed concave like a dish.

According to the present invention having the configuration as described above, because it has a strip form made of a sheet of paper, and does not have a pocket shape for inserting the finger, without a separate bonding process, it can be completed in a single press operation manufacturing process This has the advantage that it can be significantly simplified and does not cause the problem of hazards due to the use of adhesives. In addition, by forming the fold line in a non-parallel line with each other, when the forceps are formed, the external force to be extended outward acts more strongly, so that the forceps are not easily separated between the fingers. It can provide a level of fixation.

In addition, since the protrusions include foods that do not slip easily, the reinforcing beads are added so that the first and second ends are not easily deformed, so that the initial performance may be maintained even when used for a relatively long time.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings to be described in detail an embodiment of a disposable forceps according to the present invention.

2, there is shown a first embodiment 100 of a disposable forceps according to the present invention. This embodiment basically has the form of tongs commonly known. Specifically, the first and second end portions 120 and 130 extend to both sides of the central portion 110, respectively, and the first and second end portions 120 and 130 are pressed by a finger. Have your food picked up.

A plurality of fold lines 112, 113, 114, and 115 are formed in the central portion 110. As shown in FIG. 4, the fold lines 112, 113, 114, and 115 are formed by applying pressure to a material (paper) located in the central portion 110 using a press or the like, and the plane illustrated in FIG. 4. It serves to facilitate the transformation of the shaped article into the use state shown in FIG. 2. In detail with respect to the fold line, first of the two arch-shaped first fold line 112 facing each other is arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other toward both ends. The first fold line 112 serves to allow both ends to be easily bent when the user deforms to the use state shown in FIG. 2. Here, by not making the first fold line 112 in a straight line parallel to each other, even if both ends are folded along the first fold line, the restoring force to be unfolded can be enhanced.

In addition to the first fold line 112, second to fourth fold lines 113, 114, 115 are disposed. The second to fourth fold lines 113, 114, and 115 are arranged to form an isosceles triangle, and the vertices thereof are disposed at both ends of the central portion 110. For this reason, the second to fourth fold lines 113, 114, and 115 protrude in a triangular pyramid shape as shown in FIG. 2 in use, whereby the above-mentioned restoring force can be further enhanced.

On the other hand, since the material constituting the embodiment is a paper having a certain degree of plasticity, when used for a long time, the above-mentioned restoring force may be lowered due to plastic deformation. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, when the triangular pyramid shaped portions formed by the second to fourth fold lines 113, 114, and 115 are folded down, the restoring force is further enhanced. As a result, the resilience can be maintained at a level similar to that of the initial stage.

This restoring force helps to prevent the embodiment 100 from easily deviating from the finger in use. Referring to FIG. 5, even if there is no separate fixing mechanism between the first and second ends of the embodiment and the user's finger, the first and second ends are to be opened to the user's index finger and thumb, respectively, due to the restoring force. Therefore, the user's index finger and thumb can be kept undeviated unless the fingers are fully opened.

Referring back to FIGS. 2 and 4, it can be seen that a pair of reinforcing beads 122 and 132 are formed near both ends of the first and second ends 120 and 130. The reinforcement beads 122 and 132 are formed by applying pressure to the first and second ends 120 and 130 by pressing, etc., and have a shape of a valley having a rectangular cross section formed on the surface as shown in FIG. 6. . This prevents the first and second end portions 120 and 130 from being bent around the line a-a 'in FIG. 2 due to the pressure of the finger applied when eating food. Here, the shape and number of the reinforcing beads are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2, and may further include reinforcing beads formed between the two reinforcing beads 122 shown in FIG. 2. In addition, the cross-sectional shape does not necessarily need to be rectangular, and the embodiment which has a cross section, such as a semicircle or a triangle, can also be considered.

In addition, the first and second ends 120 and 130 have a plurality of protrusions 124 and 134 extending in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of each end. The plurality of protrusions 124 and 134 extend in a straight line parallel to each other, and have a rectangular cross section as shown in FIG. These protrusions 124 and 134 serve to prevent food present between the first and second ends 120 and 130 from slipping on the surface of the ends. Here, the protrusions are not necessarily limited to the illustrated form, and may be formed in any form, for example, a plurality of conical protrusions or the like, which can prevent food from slipping by increasing contact resistance.

Referring to Figure 8, a second embodiment of a disposable tongs according to the present invention is shown. The second embodiment basically has the same structure as the first embodiment, but differs from the first embodiment in the form of a fold line, specifically, in the form of the second to fourth fold lines.

That is, in the second embodiment, the second to fourth fold lines 213, 214, and 215 are different from each other in the form of a “Y” shape, and such a structure is also advantageous for enhancing the restoring force.

9 is a view corresponding to FIG. 6 showing a third embodiment of a disposable forceps according to the present invention, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the third embodiment. The third embodiment basically has the same structure as the first embodiment, but differs in that both end portions of the first and second ends are bent outwardly. As a result, it is possible to prevent to some extent the seasonings, sauces, and the like, from the foods when the food is ingested. 9 and 10 show only the two ends bent in the reinforcement bead side is shown, in addition to this may be considered an embodiment in which the end is further bent in the longitudinal direction.
