Abstract

[PROBLEMS] To realize an easy-to-use chopstick.
SOLUTION: The chopsticks A have a columnar shape having a certain length, and one grip part 10 and one clamping part 20 are formed. The clamping unit 20 includes a side surface portion 21 and an end edge portion 22. An inner concave groove 30 is provided in the side surface portion 21 of the sandwiching portion 20. The inner concave groove 30 is formed along the extending installation direction of the sandwiching portion 20, and the inner concave groove 30 extends along one end of the sandwiching portion 20 to a position beyond the tip of the end edge portion 22 of the sandwiching portion 20. . The area of the side part of the holding part and the friction effect are increased, and the stability when the food is sandwiched and the stability when the food is inserted are increased. Further, as the area of the side surface portion of the sandwiching portion and the friction effect increase, the area of the edge portion of the sandwiching portion can be reduced, and the operation of inserting chopsticks into food can be easily performed.

Description

  The present invention relates to chopsticks.

Chopsticks are very important and indispensable for Chinese people. You can use chopsticks for rice, noodles, and side dishes except for soup. Even foods that are hard to pick, such as soy sauce boiled eggs, meat dumplings, sausages, corn, etc., can be eaten with a chopstick.
However, in the operation of inserting chopsticks into food, the tip of the conventional chopsticks has a slightly conical shape, but for safety reasons, avoid the sharp shape and make it a column with a slight taper shape. Are common (eg, cylinders or prisms).

  However, if this is done, the mating surface of the chopsticks and chopsticks are too narrow and slippery, making it difficult to swallow the food in a stable state and causing the food to slip. Also, if you try to insert the chopstick tip into a round shaped food such as soy sauce boiled egg, meat dumpling, etc., the food will slip, or it may be rolled or bounced, so the conventional chopstick structure There is an inconvenient part.

  Therefore, improving the conventional problems and developing a new type structure with more ideality and practicality is a long-awaited demand for consumers, and is also a target of related companies.

  The inventor took advantage of his experience in designing and developing related products for many years, took ingenious designs to achieve the above goals, and finally had such practicality after careful evaluation. He proposed a device.

  An object of this invention is to provide the chopsticks which solved the said subject.

The present invention is a chopstick having a columnar shape having a certain length, having a grip portion (10) and a sandwiching portion (21), the sandwiching portion having a side surface portion (21) and an edge portion (22). ,
The said clamping part has the at least 1 inner concave groove (30) along the extending direction of the said clamping part in the side part.

  When picking up food such as vegetables and meat using chopsticks, in the clamping state formed between the edges of the chopsticks, part of the object to be clamped is pushed into the inner concave groove and is relatively large Contact area and friction effect can be obtained. Moreover, when inserting chopsticks into food such as soy sauce boiled eggs, a part of the area of the insertion object is inserted into the inner concave groove, so that a relatively large contact area and friction effect can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, chopsticks according to embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  1 to 7 show a chopstick according to the present invention. However, these examples are used as a reference for explanation, and the structure is not limited when registering a utility model.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the chopsticks A have a columnar shape having a certain length, and one grip portion 10 and one clamping portion 20 are formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3A, the clamping unit 20 includes a side surface 21 and an end edge 22. An inner concave groove 30 is provided in the side surface portion 21 of the sandwiching portion 20. The inner concave groove 30 is formed along the extending installation direction of the sandwiching portion 20, and the inner concave groove 30 extends along the one end of the sandwiching portion 20 to a position beyond the tip of the end edge portion 22 of the sandwiching portion 20. . Further, as indicated by reference numeral 30 </ b> D in FIG. 7, the inner concave groove 30 </ b> D may be formed with one end thereof being a predetermined position of the side surface portion 21. As shown in FIGS. 3A, 3 </ b> B, and 3 </ b> C, the inner grooves 30 can be arranged in one, three, or more numbers.

  Moreover, the cross-section of the inner concave groove 30 is V-shaped as shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C, an arc shape indicated by reference numeral 30B in FIG. 6A, or reference numeral shown in FIG. It can be set as the bending form shown by 30C. Further, an anti-slip groove 23 is provided in the side surface portion 21 of the sandwiching portion 20.

  Moreover, the extending | stretching installation direction of the inner concave groove 30 can be made into the linear type shown to FIG. 8 (A), the inclination type | mold shown to FIG. 8 (B), or the bending spiral form shown to FIG. 8 (C).

  The use situation of the chopsticks A having the above-described structure will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when food such as vegetables and meat is picked up using the chopsticks A by the inner concave groove 30 provided in the edge portion 22 of the chopsticks A, the chopsticks A are disposed between the edge portions 22. In the formed clamping state, a part of the clamping object 40 is pushed into the inner concave groove 30, and a part of the clamping object 40 is further formed by the non-slip groove 23 provided on the side surface 21 of the chopsticks A. When the area comes into contact with the non-slip groove 23, a relatively large contact area and a friction effect can be obtained.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 (A) and 5 (B), when the chopsticks A are inserted into food such as soy sauce boiled eggs, meat dumplings, sausages and corn, the inner concave groove 30 provided in the edge 22 of the chopsticks A A part of the area of the insertion object 40B is inserted into the inner concave groove 30, and further, it is possible to prevent the food from slipping off in synergy with the anti-slip effect of the anti-slip groove 23 of the side surface portion 21.

  The effect of the chopsticks A having the above configuration will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inner concave groove 30 is provided in the side surface portion 21 of the clamping portion 20, the inner concave groove 30 is installed along the extending installation direction of the clamping portion 20, and one end of the inner concave groove 30 is further sandwiched by the clamping portion 20. By forming up to the tip of the end edge portion 20 of 20, the area and the frictional effect of the side surface portion 21 of the sandwiching portion 20 are increased, the stability when the food is sandwiched is increased, and the sliding of the food is prevented. be able to.

  Further, as the area of the side surface portion 21 and the frictional effect of the sandwiching portion 20 increase, the area of the end edge portion 22 of the sandwiching portion 20 can be reduced as compared with the prior art. Therefore, the operation of inserting the chopsticks A into food (for example, soy sauce boiled eggs, meat dumplings, etc.) can be performed more easily, and the usability of the chopsticks A can be improved.

  The above-described embodiments are specific descriptions of the present invention, and are described using specific technical terms in the text. However, they do not limit the scope of claims for registration of utility models, and are familiar with this technical field. Those skilled in the art can make changes or improvements to the present invention without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention. However, all such changes or improvements are included in the scope of the utility model registration claims of the present application.
