[0019] The chopsticks are placed horizontally along the clamping slots 210, and the holder structure can stably support the chopsticks to prevent them from falling. The placement direction of the chopsticks extends along the longitudinal direction of the holder, and remains horizontal with the base 100. This structure allows users to use without adjusting their posture, improving the convenience of use. The tight design of the clamping slots 210 ensures the stability of the chopsticks during use, and they will not tilt or fall due to external forces.
[0020] Referring to Figure 2 , the clamping assembly 200 aims to provide stable support and arrangement for chopsticks or similar items. The clamping assembly 200 is in a rectangular block structure, with rounded corners 212 to increase aesthetics and avoid safety hazards caused by sharp corners. The rounded edge design helps users avoid scratches when using or cleaning, improving the feel of the device.
[0021] The clamping assembly 200 can be a detachable module, allowing it to be buckled or magnetically connected with the base 100 or other components, making it easy to clean and replace. The modular design allows users to adjust the number or spacing of clamping slots 210 according to actual needs, accommodating chopsticks or other utensils of different sizes. The clamping assembly 200 has a certain thickness at the bottom, which can be designed to match the buckle structure of the base 100, ensuring the firmness after installation. The clamping assembly 200 below can be reserved for a buckle slot 220 or a magnetic area for connection with the base 100, achieving stable installation and convenient disassembly.
[0022] The upper surface of the clamping assembly comprises a plurality of parallelly arranged clamping grooves 210, which are precisely designed in width and depth to effectively accommodate elongated objects such as chopsticks, while avoiding the chopsticks from being stuck in the clamping grooves 210 when being taken by the user. Each clamping groove 210 maintains uniform spacing to ensure the chopsticks are arranged neatly and avoid sliding and chaos. The clamping grooves 210 can have a slight arc shape to fit the shape of the chopsticks for improved stability. The clamping grooves 210 can have a slight inclination or compression structure to ensure that the chopsticks do not easily slide or fall off after being placed. The clamping groove material can have a certain friction, such as rubber or silicone inlay, to enhance the anti-slip effect.
[0023] The spoon storage groove 300 is arranged below the clamping groove 210 and can be integrally formed with the clamping assembly 200. Its main function is to accommodate the handle of the spoon to ensure that the spoon can be stably placed when not in use, preventing it from sliding or scattering. The storage groove 300 is a longitudinally open groove structure with a cross-sectional shape matching the handle of the spoon. The depth and width are precisely designed to allow the spoon handle 312 to be smoothly inserted and securely fixed, and it will not fall off due to external force.
[0024] The spoon storage groove 300 not only accommodates the handle 312 of the spoon, but also accommodates various utensils with handles, further enhancing the multifunctionality of the utensil holder. For example: forks, knives, tongs, stir sticks, fruit forks, bamboo skewers, cake spatulas, cheese spatulas, cheese knives, spreaders, seafood forks, ice scoops, long-handled spoons, seasoning spoons, sugar tongs, coffee stir sticks, cocktail sticks, etc. Various utensils with handles can be accommodated.
[0025] Referring to Figure 3 , the base 100 structure is used to support the upper clamping assembly 200. The base 100 is a circular multi-layer structure. The outer contour is in the form of concentric circles, composed of multiple circular rings or stepped platforms, ensuring a larger bottom area to provide stable support. The top cylinder 110 is used to interface or fix with the upper clamping assembly 200, allowing the upper assembly to be securely mounted on the base 100.
[0026] The bottom disc 120 of the base 100 is the foundation of the entire structure, increasing the area in contact with the table surface and providing overall stability. The intermediate annular transition area 130 has an arc-shaped cross-sectional line, which is located between the cylindrical body 110 and the bottom large disc 120. The annular platform 130 serves as a connection to ensure that the parts are tightly connected. This multi-level structure helps to lower the center of gravity and improve overall stability during use.
[0027] Optionally, the center cylinder 110 is provided with a buckle or magnetic device for quick docking and disassembly with the upper clamping assembly 200, simplifying the installation process. The base 100 supports multiple installation and disassembly, facilitating cleaning or replacing accessories. The base 100 can be made of plastic, metal or silicone, etc., achieving a balance between lightness and durability.
[0028] Optionally, the bottom can be attached with a non-slip mat or suction cup to ensure that the base 100 is firmly fixed on the table top to prevent sliding.
[0029] The utensil holder is preferably made entirely of bamboo, which is environmentally friendly and healthy, and has a unique natural beauty. During production, the base 100 is processed into corresponding plates or blocks according to the designed shape (such as round, square or oval), and is finely processed into a multi-layer structure, including the bottom large disc 120, the middle annular platform 130 and the top cylinder 110. The positioning cylinder 110 and the spoon storage groove assembly 300 are processed on the base to ensure cooperation with the chopstick clamp assembly 200 and various utensils with handles. The chopstick clamp assembly 200 is processed into a flat plate that meets the size requirements, with multiple parallel clamping grooves 210 opened, the inner wall of the clamping groove is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 210, the corners are polished with rounded corners 212, and a mounting groove 220 is processed at the bottom of the assembly to cooperate with the positioning cylinder 110 of the base. The spoon storage groove 300 is processed into a longitudinally open groove structure according to the designed size, with an arc-shaped or oval cross section. The base 100, chopstick clamp assembly 200 and spoon storage groove assembly 300 are assembled, the cooperation degree and rotation flexibility are checked, and the design requirements are ensured. Through the above process, an environmentally friendly, beautiful and practical utensil holder is produced to meet the multiple needs of users for utensil storage.
[0030] Referring to Figure 4 Optionally, the clamping assembly of the device can rotate relative to the cylinder 110, and the utensil can be accessed by pushing the tail of the chopsticks and rotating to realize the coordinated operation of the chopsticks and spoons. The chopsticks are arranged in parallel and placed in the clamping groove 210 of the clamping assembly 200. Since the chopsticks are located in the clamping groove 210, the pushing action will make the spoon rotate to the direction of the spoon head facing the user, and the user can easily grasp the head of the spoon. The user can easily pull out the spoon. This design ensures that the spoon is not scattered when not in use and can be easily taken out at any time.
[0031] The chopstick holder realizes neat storage and convenient access of chopsticks. The base 100 provides stable support, and the parallel clamping grooves 210 of the clamping assembly 200 ensure that the chopsticks are arranged neatly and stably. The modular design makes the clamping assembly 200 easy to disassemble and clean, and convenient for users to maintain.
