In general, spoons and chopsticks are considered to be the most common utensils used when consuming food in Eastern countries including Korea, while knives and forks may be mentioned in the West. These eating utensils each have their own functional characteristics, so they are used regionally in modern life. It is widely shared and used without any distinction between different cultures.

In particular, forks are used not only in Western countries but also in Eastern countries for children who are not skilled at using chopsticks or for eating noodle-like foods such as spaghetti.

Such a fork is provided with a handle so that a person can hold it with his hand, and a fork blade is integrally formed or attached to one end of the handle, so that a person can easily eat food by cutting food with the sharp blade of the fork. there is.

In Korea, noodles such as jajangmyeon and ramen are usually eaten using chopsticks, but young children who are not good at using chopsticks are often made to use a fork.

In other words, Asian adults who are accustomed to using chopsticks can easily eat noodles, but children who are not yet familiar with chopsticks and people who are familiar with Western culture use the fork as the most useful tool when eating noodles.

At this time, due to the nature of most noodle-type foods, moisture, such as sauce or broth, exists on the surface, so even if a person lifts a large amount of noodles using a fork, most of the noodles slip and fall, making eating uncomfortable. .

Accordingly, as a means to solve the above problem, a fork is being developed that allows noodles such as spaghetti to be easily wrapped around a fork and eaten.

As an example of such a fork, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0009248 (published on January 27, 2010) consists of a rotating ball large enough to be rolled with a finger, with a fitting formed at the end of a rotating table fixed to the fork on one side.

A disc-shaped rotating sphere is formed, and the fork and the gripper are mounted on a rotating ball divided into a hemispherical shape, each having an assembly protrusion and an assembly groove, and one inner side of the rotating ball is square so that the fitting protrusion of the fork is correspondingly assembled. An insertion groove is formed, and a round-shaped rotation shaft groove is formed inside the other side so that the rotation axis of the gripper can be assembled, and a rotation groove is formed in front of the rotation shaft groove so that the rotation sphere can be assembled, so that when the rotation ball is rotated with a finger, A rotating fork for eating noodles is disclosed, wherein the rotating ball and the fork are rotated together with the rotating shaft of the grip portion and the rotating sphere as the central axis, so that noodles, including spaghetti, can be easily rolled up and eaten on the fork. It is becoming.

In addition, Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-0965974 (announced on June 24, 2010) describes a fork having a handle extending from a fork foot for picking up food, which has a fork foot and a rotating locking portion extending at the end of the insertion portion. a fixed handle with an extended locking groove formed at an end of a protrusion formed therein so as to fit the insertion portion and the locking portion; Characterized in that it includes a ratchet means installed between the rotary handle and the fixed handle so that the rotary handle can be rotated in only one direction, and the rotary handle combined with the fork foot is rotatably coupled to the fixed handle, so that the noodle feet are connected to the fork. A rotating fork is disclosed, which has the effect of allowing people to eat more easily by rolling it around their feet, and also has the effect of preventing the noodles wrapped around the fork foot from being released again by allowing the fork foot to be rotated in only one direction through a ratchet means. there is.

However, the rotary fork as described above had a problem in that when eating noodle-type foods such as ramen or spaghetti, the noodles wrapped around the fork blade easily fall off before the fork is rotated, making it difficult to consume the desired amount at once.

In addition, the prior technologies as described above have a problem in that the manufacturing process is complicated due to the large number of parts, which increases the unit price of the product.
