Description

TOOL TO CATCH AND SUPPORT FOOD TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a tool for catching food, particularly to a tool in the form of a pincer for catching and supporting food, in which each end is divided into pairs that make contact with the element, taking the form of half a spoon.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As a tool for trapping and food arcade, chopsticks or tongs for cooking food are widely used. With respect to this, the present inventor has presented another invention in relation to pincers and the like, such as the registered Korean utility model No. 145841 and 235635, which provide chopsticks that have the combined form of chopsticks and food tongs for those who are not familiar with the use of chopsticks or are not used to using chopsticks, such as foreigners, children, the elderly or patients who are in poor health conditions or who have hand tremor.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION TECHNICAL PROBLEM Nonetheless, there are conventional tools that can trap food as mentioned above, they are tools in the form of a Chinese toothpick that are focused on the stable attachment and trapping of food. Naturally, these chopsticks can not function as a spoon with which it is possible to take and carry some food on it, and particularly it is possible to eat liquid food such as soup. When cooking or eating a food, there is a good chance that utensils will be necessary to eat in the form of spoon or cooking equipment, depending on the forms or types of food or spices. In this connection, a Chinese fork or chopsticks combined with a rotating spoon have been suggested, as described in FIG. 1, in which a spoon (6) and a Chinese toothpick (5) are engaged in the holding part. of them in a revolving manner around the ee (1). However, such a tool has a relatively large volume and requires inconvenient change of the position of the fork or the chopsticks (5) and the spoon (6) whenever necessary, which means that certain inconveniences in its use TECHNICAL SOLUTION This invention has been designed to solve the problems of conventional tools as mentioned above. In cone > With this, the object of the present invention is to provide a tool to trap food, which exemplifies the combined functions of the chopsticks for catching and supporting food and a spoon at the same time as having a part with the food, in spoon shape. Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a tool for catching and supporting food that provides easy hand holding. Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a tool for catching and supporting food, which can easily catch and support food without great effort, while preventing each part in contact with the food of the pair, from crossing when the food is caught. food. Therefore, the tool for catching and supporting food that has been designed to achieve said objectives according to the present invention has been provided, which is a pincer tool for feed, which comprises a pair of rods or ends cuyoc rods are connected with each other and the ends on the other side form the contact parts with the feed, characterized in that one of the parts contacted with the food works working in It is shaped as half a spoon and in this way, when each part comes in contact with the food, it takes the full concave shape of a spoon. It is preferred that the inner part of a contacting portion with the food is at least partially sawn, to be at least partially seared with the correspondingly serrated inner part of the other contacting portion with the food.

The tool for catching and supporting food according to the present invention is in the form of a tongs comprising a pair of rods (S, S ') whose ends on one side are connected to each other, as described in Figure 2. On the other ends of the rods (S, S '), the parts (10, 10') are formed in contact with the food, each of which has the shape of half a spoon. When the contact parts with the food are closed, each of the contact parts with the food (10, 10 ') of the rods, come into contact, whereby the complete shape of a spoon is formed. In order to have a more accurate encounter of the parts (10, 10 ') and contact with the food, when these are put in contact, as well as to improve the coupling of the feed, at least part of each front internal part of the parts of contact with the food, can be sawn; thus forming sawed portions (11, 11 ') • Due to such sawed portions, when the tool is closed to catch and support food for use as a spoon, the parts (10, 10') of contacting the food are they become serrated by these sawed parts (11, 11 '). Consequently, the crossing of the parts (10, 10 ') of contact with the food can be avoided, while the coupling power of the food is improved when the tool is used as chopsticks, since the food becomes easily coupled to the sawn parts. The tool for catching and supporting food according to the present invention is preferred to have fastening parts (20, 20 ') to contact the fingers that are taken to be expanded, as compared to the adjacent parts thereof, around of the intermediate part of each rod (S, S ') between the parts (1C, 10') of food contact and the part (30) in connection of the rod. When the holding parts (20, 20 ') are more expanded than the adjacent parts thereof, it has the advantage that, after placing the tool, for example, on the table, the lower part of the parts (10, 20'). , 10 ') of contact with the food remains in the air by above the surface of the table, for example, without making contact with the surface of the table, thereby avoiding contamination of the contact part with the food, by the powder or the like on the table. The shape of the parts of your ecior (20, 20 ') that are born contact the deace can be modified variably for convenience or subjection. For example, in the clamping portions (20, 20 ') that contact the fingers, the tails are extended downward as described in Figure 4, when the side facing the parts (10, 10') of contact with the food is curved in a concave manner, the clamping of the tool according to the present invention can be more easily achieved by the support of the walls to the concave recessed wall (22, 22 ') When the rods (S, S ') are formed to have constant thickness and width, more force is necessary to narrow and close the tool, and also the elasticity of the tool, whereby the closed tool returns to its original open position after the closed state, becomes small, eventually resulting in deformation in long-term use, since each of the rods of (S, c ') is flexed inwards. For JO as much, as described in figures 2 and *. , it is preferred to use the posterior parts (L, B ') of the rods between the holding parts (20, 20') that make contact with the deace and the connecting part (30) of the rod are formed to have a wider width and narrower thickness, in comparison to the fronted parts (A, A ') of the rod between the lae partee of eu? (2C, 20 '), which make contact with the fingers and the part (10, 10' of contact with the feed.) When the tool is used to trap and support food in accordance with the present invention, the subsequent parts (E, B ') of the rods are surrounded by the fingers or the palm, therefore when the width thereof is greater than those of the front parts (A, A') of the rods, it has an advantage of easy fastening. In addition, when the thickness of the rear parts (B, B ') of the rods is smaller than that of the fronted parts (A, A') to the rods, the relative differences between the thickness and the width between the parts fronts (A, A ') of the rods - the backs (B, B') of the rods - the part of with exión (30) ae the rod increase the elasticity and flexibility of the posterior parts (B, B ') to the rods. Therefore, the provision of the fastening parts (20, 20 ') that make contact with the fingers as the center, the force required to narrow and close the front parts (A, A' of the rods becomes small, with it is possible to catch and support the feed more easily, on the other hand, after the tool is gone, It is more likely that the tool will easily recover its original shape due to the strong elasticity of the back parts (B, B ') of the rods, eventually imparting a benefit that the deformation of the tool is difficult to occur in repeated use. Long term. Furthermore, when the inner wall (31) of the connecting part (30) of the rod is formed as a curved surface in the shape of a circular arc, the angle of movement of each of the rods (S, S ') it becomes relatively large, in this way the rather bulky food can easily be trapped and supported, and also the elasticity of the posterior parts (B, B ') of the rods can be further improved. From the fastening parts (20, 20 ') that make contact with the deacs as a dividing point, the thickness of the front floors (A, A') of the rods and the upper parts (B, B ') of the rods are different, of course the intermediate part between these, for example, the internal surface to the external surface of the fastening parts (20, 20 ') have a difference in height such as a step or inclination. However, without a difference in height on the external surface of the suiec on parts (20, 20 ') made, the tension becomes concentrated on the part having the difference in height, thereby There is a risk of being damaged, as well as the provision of poor restraint. Therefore, as described in the drawing, it is preferred to extend the outer surface of the holding parts (2C, 20 ') with a smooth curvature at the same level with the adjacent parts, and to form the inner surface as slightly inclined parts (21, 21 '), which connect the internal surface of the front parts (A, A') of the rods and the rear parts (B, B ') of the rods. As such, when the internal surface of the fastening parts (20, 20 ') is formed as slightly inclined parts (21, 21'), the internal wall of the last part of the tool that includes both rear parts (B, B) ') of the rod and the part (30) of connection with the rod, come to have end parts that are flexed inward, whereby the shape of a U is formed (as is clearly described in the plan view of the figure 3). By virtue of such form, the elastic energy of the posterior parts (E, E ') of the rods is very well maintained, while the energy maintained to narrow the frontal parts (A, A') of the rods becomes relatively small , with which it is possible to catch and support the food more easily. On the one hand, by expanding the holding parts (20, 20 ') that are counted with the fingers more than the adjacent parts, as well as the connection part (30) of the rod further than the hind parts (B, B ') of the rods, the contact of the end-face of the tool, for example, the parts (10, 10') that make contact with the feed with the surface of the table They can be avoided in a follow-up way. The expansion of the clamping parts (20, 20 ') that make contact with the fingers and the connecting part (30) of the rod is not specifically restricted, or is elaborated in a varied manner, such as the expansion either in the direction upward or downward relative to the adjacent parts, or in the left or right direction thereby securing the expansion in the direction of the width relative to the adjacent parts. Aaeirae, in order to improve the elasticity and the resistance to the back parts (E, B ') of the rods as described in figure 2, a certain size of the grooves (23, 23') can also be formaoo on the posterior parts (E, B ') of the rods. Lae grooves (23, 23 ') increase the second moment of inertia of a member, resulting in improved elasticity and resistance to the backs (B, B') of the rods, at the same time providing additional effects such as saving material cost as well as weight reduction on the whole. As described in figures 5 and 6, the parts (20, 20 ') that make contact with the fingers can be expanded in a downward direction, while they form the connection part (30) of the rod inclined towards abane. With such a structure, it is also possible to avoid contact of the parts touching the food (10, 10 ') on the end of the table with the surface of the table, in a stable manner. In this case, if the connecting part (30) to the rod is formed to have more weight, for example, by increasing the width or thickness of the connecting part (30) of the rod relative to that of the partee poeteporee (E, B ') of the rods and similar, the center of gravity becomes present in the later parts, with which it is possible to prevent more effectively than the parts (10, 10') that touch the food make contact with the bottom surface. Figure 7 is a view illustrating the tool depicted in Figure 5 that is used. Now, the operation of the tool according to the present invention is described in connection with FIG. 7. The gripping parts (20, 20 ') which contact the fingers are grasped by the fingers as shown in the figure 1, and then by means of the narrowing of the rod pair ^ (S, S '), the food can be coupled between the inner part of the parts (1C, 10') of contact with the feed, with which it is possible to catch and endure the food. Aaerras, when p lacting the parts (10, 10 'of contact with the food, to thus enter into contact, the parts (10, 10') of contact with the food on each rod (S, S ') that are in contact, they take a spoon shape, which is capable of practicing the function of a spoon when taking and carrying food on it.Another part, it is also possible to use the tool as Chinese chopsticks. as chopsticks, this can be treated just as conventionally as the chopsticks but by means of the support of the index finger or the middle finger to the concavely hollowed portions (22, 22 ') of the holding part (20, 20'). ) that make contact with the fingers, can more conveniently hold the tool of the present invention in order to prevent the crossing of the rods and ensure correct and precise encounter of the contact parts (10, 10 ' ) with the food, according to the pair of rods (S, S) ') Other structural elements can be attached to the rods (S, S'). Figures 8 and 9 are perspective views of yet another embodiment of the tool for catching and feeding food, according to the present invention, which illustrate the structured elements mentioned above. In this modality, a protuberance (P) is formed on the inner part of a rod (S), which is adjacent to the parts (1C, 10 'i to make contact with the food, \ a hole (H) for the insert where the protuberance is inserted (P ^ is formed on the corresponding inner side of the other vari] ja (S'X As the pair of rods (S, S ') narrows the protrusion (P) of the insertion of the orifice (II), in this way the parts (10, 10' in contact with the food are securely coupled with the another, while preventing the pair of rods or parts (10, 10 ') touching the food from crossing each other, the effects mentioned above may be improved even further by adding a guide (G) for the insertion eoorc the inner side of a rod (S ') for the other rod (S) that is going to be inserted and attached Figure 9 is illustrating the tool depicted in figure 8 that is used. , the pair of rods (S, S ') e' ~ anaostado and cerraac, due to the insecurity between the sawn parts (11, 11 ') ae lae partee (10, 10 ') oe contact with the food, the coupling with the insertion of the protrusion (P) of the inner surface of the rod into the hole (H) and the coupling of the guide (G) to the rod (S '), the contact parts (1C, 10') in the feed can be more correctly and accurately contacted. As such, according to the present modality, the anteriorly mencaonal coupling can be looped at almost the same time simply by punching the fastening parts (20, 20 ') which contact the fingers of the pair of rods, thereby making it possible to use the tool as a spoon conveniently . As previously taught, the tool for catching and supporting food according to the present invention can exemplify the function of a spoon that can take and carry some food on it, as well as the general function of the chopsticks to catch and bear. the food at the same time that the contact parts with the food are taken that take the form of a spoon, with which it is conveniently used in the taking of food or stews. Aaemas, the tool to catch and support food according to the present invention has effect such that it helps to catch and to eport the food with relatively less effort by virtue of the specific structure and the alignment of the rods of the same, and has great durability in the repeated use for a prolonged period, being in this way hardly deformed in its form. Furthermore, the tool for treating and supporting food according to the present invention has additional effects, such that it is conveniently held by the hand and helps to move the subject food in a rather stable manner, It is the most correct and precise encounter of each contact with the food, without crossing one with the CTRC, by understanding additional structural elements that will help the most correct and precise contact of each part of the contact with the food.

POSSIBILITY OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The milling machine for storing and supporting foodstuffs for the invention is a new type that may work as a spoon and chopsticks at the same time, and thus has the potential to open a new market in the market. field with which the corresponding industrial champion is developed.
