Aug. l1, 1931. A. BOTHE FIBER OH PAPER FORK Filed April 3, 1928 Patented Aug. 11, 1931 'FFICE .ANDREAS BOTHE, OF GRELAND, PENNSYLVANIA FIBER 0R PAPER Fon-K Application filed April 3, 1928.
This principal object of the present invention is to provide a sheet fiber or paper fork, of the general type commonly employed for eating oysters but also useful for other things, which shall be stiff and strong and at the same time present an attractive appearance.
To this and other ends hereinafter set forth the invention, generally states, is embodied in a fork made, or more accurately pressed or stamped, of so-called sheet fiber or paper and having in the face of its head a concavity and having in the face of its handle a centrally disposed valley extending from near its end into the concavity and exceeding the latter in depth, and having a marginal fiat fin portion projecting around the valley and at the end of the handle, and having depressions in the central face portions of its tines eX- tending from the points to the shanks thereof and exceeding in depth the depth of the concavity.
rIhe invention also comprises the improvements to be presently described and finally claimed.
In the following description reference will be made to the accompanying drawings forining part hereof and in which Figure l is a perspective view of the face of a fork embodying features of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a. top or plan view of the back of the fork, and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Fig; l and drawn to an enlarged scale.
In the drawings the head of the fork is provided with a concavity l resemblingk a portion of the bowl of a spoon. In the face of the handle there is a centrally disposed valley 2 extending from near its end into the concavity l and exceeding the latter in depth. There is a marginal flat lin portion 3 projecting around the valley 2 and at the end portion of the handle. In the faces of the tines there are centrally disposed depressions 4 eX- tending from the points to the Shanks of the tines and they exceed in depth the concavity of the head. Viewed from the side, the back of the valley 2 defines a straight line. The
Serial No. 266,905.
head portion is shaped generally like the bowl of a blunt spoon notched to provide the tines. i
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention relates that modiiications may be made in details of construction and arrangement and matters of mere form without departing from the spirit of he invention which isl not limited to such matters or otherwise than the prior art and the appended claim may require.
I claim:
A fork constructed of fibrous material having a tine supporting head of arch form transversely and longitudinally and whereof the face of the handle and the faces of the tines are channeled, the channel of the handle stopping short of the tine channels for the purpose and with the result of defining an intermediate intact arch, whereby the article is aorded the necessary resilience to return to its original shape after applied twist or like stress and the necessary strength to resist collapse even when wetted to the point of saturation.
