Detailed Implementation
[0027] To more clearly illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. A clear and complete description will be provided. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] Examples of embodiments of this utility model Figures 1 to 11 As shown, a type of tableware includes a handle 1 and a contact head 2 disposed at the front end of the handle 1 for contacting food. The contact head 2 is the part used to scoop, cut, or spread food. For example, the contact head 2 can be any one of the following: the blade of a knife, the spoon head of a spoon, or the fork head of a fork. Figure 1 The knife used for spreading jam in the dish. Figure 3 The spoon in the middle, Figure 4 The support base in the middle is used to fix the knife and Figure 5The support base of the knife is rotatably mounted. Depending on the intended use, the contact head 2 and handle 1 can be a single piece, or they can be assembled together. For example, the contact head 2 can be a knife blade or spoon head integrally formed with the handle 1. The knife blade has a through hole 20, such as in a steak knife, where the through hole 20 prevents food from sticking to the blade for easier use. A spoon is used for scooping soup. Alternatively, the contact head 2 can be a silicone blade for spreading jam, inserted into the front end of the handle 1. For this insertion structure, the front end of the handle 1 extends with multiple insertion rods 11, and the tail end of the silicone blade has an interference fit hole 21 for the insertion rods 11. For example, two insertion rods 11 can extend from the front end of the handle 1, with the two rods 11 spaced side-by-side at the same height along the axis of the handle 1. To configure the tableware, simply insert the connector 11 into the connector hole 21. A support base 3, perpendicular to the axis of the handle 1, is located on the bottom surface of the handle 1 near the contact head 2. The bottom surface of the handle 1 is the side of the tableware facing the table when it is placed. The support base 3 is located on the bottom surface of the handle 1 and is perpendicular to the axis of the handle 1. The axis of the handle 1 is the front-to-back direction of the handle 1. The support base 3 being perpendicular to the axis of the handle 1 means that it extends in a left-to-right direction. When placing tableware, the support base 3 serves as one support point for the tableware, and the position where the end of the handle 1 contacts the tableware forms another support point. The support base 3, the tableware, and the bottom surface of the handle 1 form a triangular structure, causing the contact head 2 to rise upwards, preventing contact between the contact head 2 and the tableware, thus avoiding contamination of the contact head 2 by the tableware and maintaining the hygiene of the tableware. In actual production, the weight and length of handle 1 are greater than those of contact head 2. Additionally, the support base 3 can be designed in a U-shape to maintain the aesthetic appeal and neatness of the tableware structure. The support base 3 eliminates the need for an additional tableware holder, simplifying use. When using tableware, some fingers are typically on the bottom of handle 1, posing a risk of them touching food. The support base 3 acts as a barrier, preventing this contact. For the support base 3, to ensure structural stability, the surface furthest from handle 1 is either flat or curved with multiple support points. In other words, the bottom surface of the support base 3 is either flat or curved, increasing the contact area between the support base 3 and the tabletop to improve stability during use. At this time, when the bottom surface of the support base 3 is a curved surface, the curved surface is either a wavy surface or a concave arc surface. Both the wavy and concave surfaces are chosen to extend along the left and right directions of the handle 1. The wavy surface forms multiple support points in the left and right directions of the bottom surface of the support base 3, and the concave arc surface forms two support points in the left and right directions of the bottom surface of the support base 3.
[0029] Further improvements, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the handle 1 has a first handle through hole 10 adjacent to the support base 3. The support base 3 is disposed inside the first handle through hole 10, and is disposed on the hole wall of the first handle through hole 10. It can be fixedly disposed on the hole wall on the front side of the first handle through hole, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The tableware shown can also be mounted on the walls of the holes on the left and right sides of the first handle through hole 10, and can be flipped up and down relative to the handle 1, such as... Figure 5 The tableware shown. (As shown) Figures 5 to 11As shown, a pivot hole 100 is provided on the wall of the first handle through hole 10. The support base 3 is pivotally connected to the first handle through hole 10 by a pivot 30 rotatably installed in the pivot hole 100. That is, pivot holes 100 are provided at corresponding positions on the left and right walls of the first handle through hole 10. The pivot 30 is fixedly installed on the support base 3, and the two ends of the pivot 30 are rotatably installed in the two pivot holes 100, so that the support base 3 can rotate relative to the handle 1. The structure of the support base 3 and the pivot 30 can be configured in two ways: one is to provide a pivot 30 near the top of the left and right end faces of the support base 3, and the pivot 30 is an integrally formed pivot extending from the support base 3; the other is to provide a support base through hole that passes through the left and right end faces of the support base 3, and then fix two pivot holes 100 in the support base through hole. A rotating shaft protrudes from the through hole of the support base. The two ends of the rotating shaft are then rotatably installed in two rotating shaft holes 100. The rotating setting of the support base 3 allows the support base 3 to be stored in the first handle through hole 10 when the tableware is not in use, which is convenient for storing the tableware. A slider 31 and an arc-shaped groove 32 with a central angle of 90 degrees are provided between the hole wall of the rotating shaft hole 100 and the rotating shaft 30. When the slider 31 slides to the two ends of the arc-shaped groove 32, it limits the rotation of the support base 3 and prevents it from continuing to rotate. This means that the maximum rotation angle of the support base 3 is 90 degrees. If the support base 3 rotates clockwise, when the support base 3 is in a state parallel to the axis of the handle 1, the slider 31 is at the front end of the arc-shaped groove 32. As the support base 3 rotates downward to a state perpendicular to the axis of the handle 1, the slider 31 slides to the tail end of the arc-shaped groove 32.At this time, in order to fix the position of the support 3 after it has been flipped, the arc-shaped slide 32 is provided with positioning mechanisms at both ends of the bottom of the slide for positioning the slider 31. The positioning mechanism positions the slider 31 in the arc-shaped slide 32, thus fixing the position of the support 3 after it has been flipped. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning bead 33 on the end face of the slider 31 and positioning grooves 34 at both ends of the bottom of the arc-shaped slide 32 that can match and engage with the positioning bead 33. That is, the positioning bead 33 is provided on the end face of the slider 31 facing the bottom of the arc-shaped slide 32, and the positioning groove 34 is a hemispherical groove. The cooperation between the positioning bead 33 and the positioning groove 34 fixes the support 3 in a horizontal or horizontal position. The vertical position is fixed; or the positioning mechanism is a silicone protrusion 35 that can be elastically deformed at both ends of the arc-shaped slide groove 32, and there is a gap between the silicone protrusion 35 and the groove wall at both ends of the arc-shaped slide groove 32 to match and engage the slider 31. For example, silicone protrusions 35 that can be elastically deformed are set at both ends of the bottom of the arc-shaped slide groove 32, and there is a gap between the silicone protrusion 35 and the groove wall at both ends of the arc-shaped slide groove 32. The space formed by this gap can match and engage the slider 31. At this time, the end of the slider 31 is set as a spherical structure. When the slider 31 slides to the position of the silicone protrusion 35, it squeezes the silicone protrusion 35 to deform. After the slider 31 slides into the gap, the silicone protrusion 35 returns to its original shape and engages and positions the slider 31.
[0030] Further improvements, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the handle 1 has a second handle through hole 12 at its tail. The second handle through hole 12 allows the tableware to be hung on the tableware storage rack after washing and when not in use.
[0031] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
