Description

Eating Tool Having Different Materials Connecting Structure

The present invention relates to a dining utensil including a heterogeneous material structure, and more particularly, it is possible to achieve diversification of designs by different materials constituting the food contact part and the handle part, and the assembly structure of the food contact part and the handle part is easy and robust. It is about a meal tool that can be implemented conveniently.

As a representative example of eating utensils, a spoon and a fork shown in FIG. 1 may be mentioned. In addition, chopsticks and knives are included.

These dining utensils are generally made of stainless steel in consideration of the meal process and the situation of washing dishes after a meal.

It is manufactured in various shapes according to the tastes and needs of consumers, and in some cases, various patterns or patterns are engraved or printed on the surface of the eating utensils as shown in FIG. 1 .

However, in the case of dining utensils made of stainless steel according to the prior art, there is a limitation in forming various patterns or patterns on the surface, and this has a problem in that it cannot satisfy all the various tastes and needs of consumers.

In order to solve this problem, various colors, patterns, and designs are implemented using plastic materials. Eating utensils made of plastic materials are generally used for one-time use.

Petrochemical products are mainly used for general disposable dining utensils because of their cost and convenience. Disposable eating utensils are manufactured by compression molding plastic. Disposable eating utensils made of plastic are not easily decomposed when discarded. In addition, plastics are the main cause of environmental pollution by releasing environmental hormones and pollutants when incinerated.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems according to the prior art, a product in which a part in contact with food is made of a metal material and a part held in the user's hand is made of a wooden material has been developed.

In this case, to complete a single product by assembling a part made of a metal material and a part made of a wood material, the assembled parts have a concave-convex structure that engages and binds each other, or the assembly is completed by applying an adhesive to the assembled part. are doing

However, this assembly method has a problem in that it is not possible to implement a solid binding structure.

Specifically, when the adhesive is applied to the assembled part, the part made of the wood material absorbs the adhesive, causing a decrease in adhesive strength, and the assembled part may be separated or detached during use. To prevent this, if a large amount of adhesive is applied, not only the assembled part but also the adjacent part may be exposed to the adhesive, which may lead to product defects. In addition, when a large amount of the adhesive is used, the cost for the adhesive increases, which is also undesirable.

In order to solve this problem, if a structure made of a metal material without an adhesive is made to adhere to a wood material part, another problem is that the wood material part absorbs moisture or water during use and expands and splits. Occurs.

Therefore, the part held in the user's hand can be made of wood, and the part that comes into contact with food can be made of metal. There is a need for skills related to tools.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0139975 (published date: December 15, 2020)
