The essence of a folding spoon containing a handle, a handle fixing unit and a bowl-shaped container is that a handle fixing unit made of a rectangular box-shaped shape with two opposite sides open, one of which is directed towards the bowl-shaped container, inside of which has the ability to move the handle, at the end of which the closest hole to the bowl-shaped container is made to accommodate the latch made on the inside of the handle fixing unit with shennymi edges.

Description

The utility model relates to folding spoons intended for use outside permanent places of eating, for example, when traveling, camping.

Analogs of a folding spoon are known (see, for example, patent RU 2034512, IPC 6 A 47 G 21/06, publication date 1995.05.10; folding spoon from a set manufactured by Solingen http://www.demjansk.com/german/pad/ pad0194.jpg) containing the handle, the bowl-shaped container and the handle fixing assembly.

The disadvantages of the analogues are the complexity of the design, which leads to the need for at least two movements with two hands to bring the folding spoon into position and two movements with two hands to bring the folding spoon into transport position.

The closest analogue to the claimed folding spoon is a folding spoon of their set manufactured by Solingen (see, for example, http://www.demjansk.com/german/pad/pad0194.jpg) containing a handle, a bowl-shaped container and a handle fixation unit.

The disadvantage of the closest analogue is the design complexity, which leads to the need for at least two movements with two hands to bring the folding spoon into position and two movements with two hands to bring the folding spoon into the inoperative position.

The objective of the claimed folding spoon is to obtain a simple design with a quick reduction of the folding spoon into position from the idle position.

The technical result is expressed in simplifying the design, facilitating bringing the folding spoon to the working position or in the inactive position by the movements of the fingers of one hand. This is especially important for people with disabilities.

The essence of a folding spoon containing a handle, a handle fixing unit and a bowl-shaped container is that a handle fixing unit made of a rectangular box-shaped shape with two opposite sides open, one of which is directed towards the bowl-shaped container, inside of which has the ability to move the handle, at the end of which the closest hole to the bowl-shaped container is made to accommodate the latch made on the inside of the handle fixing unit with shennymi edges.

The essence of a folding spoon is illustrated by drawings, where:

figure 1 shows a side view in the working position;

figure 2 shows a top view in the idle position.

The folding spoon contains a handle 1, a handle 1 fixing unit 2 and a bowl-shaped container 3. A handle 1 fixing unit 2, made of a rectangular box-shaped shape with two opposite sides 4 and 5 open, one of which 4 is directed toward the bowl-shaped container, is attached to the bowl-shaped container 3. 3. Inside the node 2 is located and has the ability to move the handle 1, at the end of which the hole 9 is made closest to the bowl-shaped container 3

the latch 6, made on the inner side of the node 2 fixation of the handle 1 with beveled edges.

In one of the embodiments of the folding spoon, the edges of the latch 5 are made with beveled edges, each of which has two oppositely inclined bevels. This provides both a reliable fixation of the handle 1 in the fixing unit 2, and the removal of the handle 1 from the fixing unit 2.

At the end of the handle 1, facing the bowl-shaped container 3, a bead 8 can be made with external dimensions corresponding to the external dimensions of the fixing unit 2 of the handle 1 in the plane of the open side 4 of the fixing unit 2, which is directed towards the bowl-shaped container 3.

The handle 1, the bowl-shaped container 3 and the node 2 for fixing the handle 1 can be made of plastic.

The restriction of the movement of the handle 1 in the node 2 for fixing the handle 1 can also be carried out in any known manner, for example, by means of limiters to the movement in extreme positions, or by performing the simplest locking elements in the node 2 for fixing the handle.

Bringing a folding spoon from a non-working position to a working position can be accomplished by pressing with the thumb of the hand on the end of the handle 1 located above the bowl-shaped container 3 covered by the remaining fingers. The movement of the handle 1 is carried out until the latch 6 of the node 2 enters the hole 9 of the handle 1.

Bringing the folding spoon from the working position to the non-working position can be done by pressing with the thumb of a hand on the end of the handle 1 located outside the spoon fixing unit 2, covered by the remaining fingers, or by resting the handle 1 on any supporting surface when the fingers grab the spoon fixing unit 2 and the cup-shaped capacity 3 and

movement of the hand towards the supporting surface. The indicated actions are as simple as possible and are performed in one movement of either fingers or hands.

Prototypes of a folding spoon have shown sufficient efficiency in the manufacture and operation.

Claims (3)
