Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking utensils technology, and in particular to a combination food clip. Background Technology
[0002] During the cooking process, food tongs are needed to pick up food, and food spatulas are needed to flip or stir-fry food. Both tools are widely used and often need to be used in combination. Therefore, we consider designing a multi-functional tool that combines the functions of food tongs and food spatulas, and is designed to be as simple as possible for easy use and storage. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, a modular food tongs is provided, which can be disassembled into a food spatula or combined into a food tongs as needed during the cooking process. It has wider applicability, simple structure and convenient use, thereby overcoming at least one of the above-mentioned technical defects.
[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows:
[0005] A modular food clamp includes two food spatulas facing each other. Each food spatula has a connecting hole at its rear end, and each food spatula has at least one locking block protruding on its facing side. The locking block is positioned near the connecting hole and passes through the connecting hole and is held at the edge of the connecting hole, thereby causing the two food spatulas to be assembled into a food clamp.
[0006] Preferably, on each food shovel, there are two locking blocks arranged in a mirror image at the rear end of the food shovel, and each of the two locking blocks has a slot with a longitudinal spacing not less than the edge thickness of the connecting hole on the opposite side.
[0007] The inner edge of the connecting hole also has two symmetrically arranged notches that match the shape of the locking block, which allow the locking block on one food shovel to pass through the notch on the other food shovel and cause the locking slot to form a rotating engagement structure with the edge of the connecting hole.
[0008] Preferably, the two food shovels have the same structure, and one food shovel is flipped 180 degrees and then joined to the other food shovel to form a food clamp.
[0009] Ideally, the food spatula is made of a single piece of elastic, heat-resistant material.
[0010] Ideally, the notch should appear fan-shaped when viewed from above.
[0011] Preferably, the slot is formed by folding the end of the card block away from the food spatula.
[0012] Preferably, from a side view, the food spatula includes a grip section, an arc-shaped extension section, and a spatula head section, with the joints of the three sections transitioning at rounded corners.
[0013] Ideally, from a side view, the food spatula is arranged with a uniform thickness along its extension direction.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0015] (1) The combination food tongs include two food spatulas. Each food spatula is provided with a connecting hole and a locking block. The two food spatulas are combined into a food tongs by passing the locking block through the connecting hole and locking it. This makes the food tongs easy to separate into two food spatulas, making them more applicable and simple in structure. They can be separated into food spatulas or combined into food tongs according to needs during the cooking process, making them more convenient to use.
[0016] (2) The two food shovels have the same structure, and one of the food shovels is flipped 180 degrees and then joined to the other food shovel to form a food clamp. The use of the same structure allows for production using the same set of molds, which can greatly reduce production costs.
[0017] (3) After the card block passes through the notch, it can rotate a certain angle to make the two food shovels engage, and after rotating a certain angle in the opposite direction, they can disengage from each other. No additional fasteners are needed to combine the two food shovels into one food clamp. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easy to understand, the following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the combined food clip provided in this embodiment includes two food shovels 1 arranged facing each other. Each of the two food shovels 1 has a connecting hole 2 at its rear end. Each of the two food shovels 1 has at least one locking block 3 protruding on its facing side. The locking block 3 is arranged near the connecting hole 2. The two food shovels 1 are assembled into a food clip by passing through the connecting hole 2 and locking it at the edge of the connecting hole 2.
[0024] Based on the above technical solution, the modular food tongs include two food spatulas 1, each food spatulas 1 is provided with a connecting hole 2 and a locking block 3. The two food spatulas 1 are combined into one food tongs by the locking block 3 passing through the connecting hole 2 and locking it. This allows the food tongs to be easily separated into two food spatulas 1, making them more versatile. They can be separated into food spatulas 1 or combined into a food tongs as needed during the cooking process, making them more convenient to use.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, each food shovel 1 has two locking blocks 3 arranged in a mirror image at the rear end of the food shovel 1. Each locking block 3 has a slot 4 on its opposite side, with a longitudinal spacing not less than the edge thickness of the connecting hole 2. The inner edge of the connecting hole 2 also has two symmetrically arranged notches 5 that match the shape of the locking blocks 3, allowing the locking block 3 on one food shovel 1 to pass through the notch 5 on the other food shovel 1 and causing the slot 4 to form a rotating engagement structure with the edge of the connecting hole 2. That is, after the locking block 3 passes through the notch 5, rotating it at a certain angle allows the two food shovels 1 to engage, and after rotating it in the opposite direction at a certain angle, they can disengage, allowing the two food shovels 1 to be combined into a single food clamp without additional fasteners. Furthermore, the slot 4 is formed by folding down the end of the locking block 3 away from the food shovel 1. That is, the slot 4 is formed between the folded-down end of the locking block 3 and the surface of the food shovel 1.
[0026] In addition, it is also possible to consider a design where one food spatula 1 has a connecting hole 2 and the other food spatula 1 has a locking block 3, that is, the two food spatulas 1 are not the same structure, and it is not limited to this.
[0027] As a further preferred embodiment, the two food spatulas 1 have identical structures, and after one food spatula 1 is flipped 180 degrees, it is joined to the other food spatula 1 to form a food clamp. Using an identical structure allows for production using the same set of molds, significantly reducing production costs. Furthermore, the food spatula 1 is integrally molded from an elastic, heat-resistant material, such as PP, PE, or silicone, which are common materials. Furthermore, from a top-down view, the notch 5 is fan-shaped to facilitate smoother engagement.
[0028] As a further preferred embodiment, from a side view, the food spatula 1 includes a gripping section 6, an arc-shaped extension section 7, and a spatula head section 8, with the joints of the three sections transitioning at rounded corners. Furthermore, from a side view, the food spatula 1 is uniformly arranged in thickness along its extension direction.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art will understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalents can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the present utility model, all of which will fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
