20110227358 | CHOPSTICK WITH ILLUMINANT FUNCTION - A chopstick with an illuminant function includes a chopstick body, a chopstick-cover, a light emitting diode, at least one connecting piece and a switch. A top end of the chopstick body has an accommodating slot formed on an inside thereof, and a first opening connected to the accommodating slot. The chopstick-cover is inserted into the accommodating slot of the chopstick body through the first opening. The chopstick-cover has at least one accommodating space formed on an inside thereof and in communication with the accommodating slot The light emitting diode is disposed on one end of the chopstick-cover. The connecting piece and the switch are arranged in the accommodating space of the chopstick-cover, and the connecting piece is electrically connected to the light emitting diode and the switch. Therefore, the chopstick adds an illuminant function. | 09-22-2011 |
20110298236 | Training chopsticks - Chopsticks are provided including a first chopstick and a second chopstick which have been modified to be readily coupled together. Bores are formed in each of the chopsticks. A pin is supplied which passes through each of the bores. The pin has a friction fit within the bores such that the chopsticks are held together. The pin resiliently flexes when distal ends of the chopsticks are brought together, so that the pin provides a return force to the chopsticks. The bores and pin preferably have a non-circular cross-section so that the chopsticks are held within a common plane. The pin can have at least one tip that is pointed so that the pin can double as a toothpick. | 12-08-2011 |
20120068487 | Collapsible chopsticks with integrated case, clip, and stand - A collapsible chopstick includes a food-contact element and a hollow handle element having an open end. The food contact element is tapered and includes a securing section that is sized to create a press fit with the hollow open end of the handle so that the food-contact element and handle can be connected together with the food-contact element exposed for using the chopsticks for eating or with the food-contact element safely secured within the hollow handle for stowing. A resilient connector/support block is included with two side channels and a curved top surface. The channels are sized to snugly receive and hold the two handles parallel to each other for convenient stowing and carrying and may be used separately to effectively hold the tips of the chopsticks off an eating surface when in use. | 03-22-2012 |
20120133166 | CHOPSTICKS - Each of a pair of chopsticks includes a food-carrying portion formed on a first end thereof, and a magnetic portion formed on a second end thereof opposite to the first end. The magnetic portion has a receiving space defined therein and a magnet received in the receiving space. The magnetic portion has a tapered section disposed on an outer periphery thereof and corresponding to the magnet. The tapered section gradually tapered toward a distal end of the second end. When the two magnets of the chopsticks magnetically attract each other, the two tapered sections of the chopsticks contact with each other and the two food-carrying portions are separated automatically. The two food-carrying portions are able to pivotally move toward/outward each other. | 05-31-2012 |
20120133167 | TRAINING CHOPSTICKS - A pair of training chopsticks comprises an upper chopstick member and a lower chopstick member. A thumb ergonomic device is provided, which does not directly contact the lower chopstick member, but fixed at the upside of the front surface of the lower chopstick member through a fixing element. The thumb ergonomic device is shaped in a curve, the opening of which substantially directs to the head of chopsticks, so that when the chopsticks are held, the curve opening touches a region of the ulnar side of the thumb not touching the lower chopstick member, for maintaining the correct relative position between the thumb and the lower chopstick members. | 05-31-2012 |
20140232128 | CHOPSTICKS INDICATING FINGER ACUPUNCTURE POINTS STIMULATING BRAIN - Provided are chopsticks indicating a finger acupuncture point stimulating a brain. The chopsticks include an elastic coupling means coupled to ends of a pair of chopsticks so that the other ends of the chopsticks become open, and a location indicating part that rubs an end of a forefinger which is a spot of a forefinger acupuncture point stimulating the brain and that indicates a forefinger spot for training to use the chopsticks and a thumb pressing part on a region of one chopstick which corresponds to the end of the forefinger. | 08-21-2014 |
20140265402 | COOPERATING LINKABLE, DEFORMABLE CHOPSTICKS - A pair of chopsticks that may be reversibly attached in a cooperating manner for providing a forceps- or tweezers-like spring action for grasping objects, such as food, or for being used in the conventional manner for using chopsticks, is described. Identical angled channels located in the vicinity of the non-grasping end of each chopstick and having a depth of about one-half the width of the chopstick, permit the opposing channels to be fitted together to join the chopsticks. A retaining member may be wrapped around the channel joint to stabilize the joint and hold the chopsticks together. In another embodiment, two shallow angled side indentations are cut into the width of each chopstick at diagonally opposing sides of the primary angled channel formed therein, creating compression surfaces which oppose rotation and opening of the channel joint. Back cuts in the side indentation and in the primary channel permit the chopsticks to be reversibly snap-locked together such that the chopsticks may be assembled and disassembled as desired. In this situation, no external retaining tension member is required to maintain a stable joint during use. | 09-18-2014 |
20140319865 | One-Piece Construction Chopsticks - A one-piece construction chopsticks including a body having a first portion and a second portion conjoined by a U-shaped back end, the first and second portions having a respective S-shaped center portion and reverse-S shaped central portion disposed in a | 10-30-2014 |
20140367988 | CHOPSTICKS - The invention relates to a pair of chopsticks, comprising: an upper chopstick, and a lower chopstick with a first protrusion and a second protrusion, wherein both of the first and second protrusions protrude from the back surface of the lower chopstick, so that at the holding status of the chopsticks, the first protrusion can touch the vicinity of the first joint of the ring finger of user and the second protrusion can touch the finger pad of the third section of the index finger of user. With the two protrusions coexisting in the lower chopstick, the chopsticks can be firmly held by hand of users. | 12-18-2014 |
