Abstract

The present invention relates to a fork, and more particularly, to a rotating fork that enables one-directional rotation of a fork foot to facilitate easier nourishment of noodles such as pasta.
In order to accomplish this, a fork extending from a fork foot for picking food is provided with a fork foot and a latching part is formed at an end of the insertion part and a ratchet means is formed at a lower end of the fork, And a rotation button for passing the fixing handle through the fixing handle from the outside so as to rotate the rotation handle.
According to the above-described configuration, since the rotation handle coupled with the fork foot rotatably engages with the fixing handle and is rotatable through the protruding button on the outside of the fixing handle, the face can be easily rolled on the fork foot, So that it can be used conveniently regardless of right-handedness and left-handedness.

Description

A fork for both hands {spinning fork}

The present invention relates to a fork, and more particularly to a rotating fork capable of rotating a fork foot so that noodles such as pasta spaghetti can be more easily taken.

In general, fork is a tableware used for eating fruits and meats, and it is also used for eating Western foods such as pasta and spaghetti. In other words, when you eat noodles such as pasta, if you turn the fork into a spin, the noodles become round on the fork, so you can easily eat the noodles.

The conventional fork has a problem that the fork foot and the handle formed to extend from the fork foot are formed in a flat shape so that the knob of the flat surface must be turned in order to round the surface, which is very inconvenient.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a conventional rotary type washing machine has a rotating handle 10 having a fork foot 30 and a locking part 12 formed at an end of the insertion part 11, A fixing handle 20 having a locking groove 22 formed at an end portion of a protrusion 21 formed inside the insertion portion 11 and the locking portion 12 so as to be inserted thereinto, And at least one pawl 24 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the ratchet groove 23 between the rotary handle 10 and the fixed handle 20 so that the rotary handle 10 can rotate only a plurality of grooves 15) for rotating the surface of the rotary fork.

As described above, the conventional rotary fork is advantageous in that it is convenient to rotate the fork by using only the thumb or the index finger to wind the noodle food without using the hand while using the entire hand when eating noodles such as spaghetti, It is inconvenient to rotate the rotary handle 10 in a circular shape along the round shape of the lower end of the fork using the index finger and the entire bottom portion is rotated so that the hand holding the fork and the rotary handle 10 And the pawl 24 engaged with the ratchet gear 14 takes the form of a wedge inclined in one direction, so that the rotation handle 10 can be limitedly rotated in only one direction If the fork is used with the left hand, there is a problem that the original function can not be used.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the related art, and it is an object of the present invention to minimize the movement of the hand and to rotate the fork foot without touching the rotary handle and all persons using the right hand or left hand So that the user can easily eat the noodles by using the hand in either direction.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fork extending from a fork foot for picking food, the fork having a fork foot, a ratchet means formed at the lower end of the fork, A handle; A fixing handle having a rotation handle fastening groove and a rotation button fastening bar formed therein so as to insert the insertion portion and the fastening portion; And a rotation button fixing bar and a rotation button penetrating from the outside of the fixing handle so as to rotate the rotation handle.

As described above, since the rotation handle coupled with the fork foot is coupled with the fixing handle so as to be rotatable, it is possible to easily dry the noodle on the fork nook, so that it is possible to eat noodles more easily and easily , And rotation of the rotation handle is made inside the fixed handle, so that friction between the rotation handle and the hand is eliminated.

Further, since the fork foot is rotated in one direction through the ratchet means to prevent the nose flap wound on the fork foot from being released again, the rotation of the ratchet means can be performed through the rotation button protruding from the fixed handle. It can be used with both hands regardless of the one-way rotation of the fork, so that the use and convenience of the fork can be improved.

2 is a perspective view of a rotating fork according to the present invention;
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a cutting incision,
4 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in Fig. 2

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figs. 2 to 4 show a rotary fork in which both hands of the present invention are usable. The rotary fork comprises a rotary handle 10, a fixed handle 20, and a rotary button 30.

2 and 3, the rotary handle 10 includes a fork foot 15 and a part of the fork foot 15 on the stationary handle 20 and is rotatably supported by the inner rotation handle engagement groove 21 of the stationary handle 20 The rotation handle insertion portion 11 penetrates and the rotation handle engagement portion 12 is engaged with the rotation handle engagement groove 20 so that the rotation handle is rotatably coupled to the fixed handle.

The rotation button inserting portion 11a penetrates the rotation button inserting portion 21a of the fixing bar 22 connected to the fixed handle 20 as shown in Figures 3 and 4, Both sides of the rotation button insertion portion 21a are provided with a rotation button locking portion 12a and elastic material spring 31 is positioned between the rotation button locking groove 21a and the rotation button fixing bar 21, (10).

The ratchet means is included in the rotary handle 10 and is rotatable only in one direction by the rotary button 30. The ratchet means comprises a ratchet gear 14 and a pawl 23.

3 and 4, a ratchet 14 is formed on a part of the rotary handle 10 inside the stationary handle 20 with a larger diameter than the other, and the ratchet 14 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the ratchet 14 in one direction A plurality of ratchet gears 13 in the form of a photograph wedge are formed. At least one pawl 23 is formed on the inner periphery of the fixed handle 20 so that the pawl 23 is engaged with the ratchet gear 13.

Although it is preferable to form two pawls 23 for proper rotation of the pawl 23, it is possible to form the number of the pawls 23 by one or more than two according to the desired rotational performance. It is also preferable that the pawl 23 is made of a flexible material by being rotated on an inclined surface of the ratchet gear 13 and is partially engaged with and engaged with the ratchet gear 13.

The effect of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

When the rotary button 30 is pressed by the index finger or the thumb with the fixed handle 20 held in the hand, the rotary button 30 pressed by the elasticity of the spring 31 returns to its original position. The ratchet gear 13 is rotated in one direction by the pushing of the rotation button catching portion 12a of the rotary button 30 pressed by the force and the fork foot 15 is rotated so that the fork foot 15 ) Of pasta or the like is rotated and is rounded and dried. This makes it easier to eat noodles. In addition, the pawl 23 engaged with the ratchet gear 13 has a wedge shape inclined in one direction, so that the rotary handle 10 can be limitedly rotated only in one direction, It is possible to prevent the noodles from unwinding again.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the specific embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, Various modifications and variations will be possible within the scope of equivalents of the scope of the claims.
