[0002] Spoons, forks, and chopsticks are all common tableware. Spoons are mainly used to scoop semi-liquid or small-piece foods such as liquids, soups, porridges, and sauces and put them into the mouth. Forks can be used to pick up chunks or strips of meat, vegetables, and fruits, making it easier to hold the food in place for cutting or eating directly. They are also often used in Western cuisine to cut food with a knife before eating. Chopsticks are used to pick up various solid foods, especially good at picking up granular, chunky, and strip-shaped Chinese foods. They can be used precisely and are adaptable to the shape of food under various cooking methods.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: In the prior art, there is a type of tableware that combines a spoon and a fork, which can be used to scoop up liquid food and also to pick up strip-shaped food.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown:

[0029] This utility model provides a combined spoon, fork, and chopsticks, including a spoon body 1, a fork-taking component 2 is provided on the surface of the spoon body 1, the fork-taking component 2 is located at the front section of the spoon body 1, a connecting component 3 is installed at the end of the spoon body 1 away from the fork-taking component 2, and a clamping component 4 is installed at one end of the connecting component 3.

[0030] The clamping component 4 includes a slot 401 formed on the surface of the connecting component 3, and also includes a pair of clamping rods 402, one end of which is inserted into the slot 401, and the other clamping rod 402 is connected to the connecting component 3, with the end of the clamping rod 402 located in the slot 401 having an interference fit with the slot 401.

[0031] Furthermore, the free end of the clamping rod 402 converges inward.

[0032] When using the tableware, you can hold the clamp 402 and use it to scoop soup or pick up strips of food. When you need to pick up chunks of food, you can remove one clamp 402 from the slot 401 and then combine it with the remaining part to make chopsticks. This makes it easier to pick up chunks of food and also prevents the spoon body 1 from being lost. Example

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the clamping component 4 is a pair of clamping plates 403 installed on the connecting component 3. The clamping plates 403 are made of soft plastic and are slender, so that they can be deformed better. A gap 404 is provided between the pair of clamping plates 403.

[0034] The clamping plates 403 are arranged in a figure-eight shape.

[0035] When using the tableware, you can hold the clamp 403 by hand. When you need to pick up a piece of food, you can hold the tableware in reverse and use the pair of clamps 403 as tweezers. The clamps 403 distributed in a figure-eight shape can pick up larger pieces of food. The above design makes it convenient for foreign friends who do not know how to use chopsticks to use.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the spoon body 1 and the connecting component 3 are connected by a connecting piece 5, and the clamping component 4 can be folded through the connecting piece 5. The connecting piece 5 is made of soft plastic and is located above the spoon body 1 and the connecting component 3. Edge portions 6 extend downward on both sides of the position where the spoon body 1 and the connecting component 3 are connected. One end of the connecting component 3 is provided with an extension portion 7. The area formed between the extension portion 7 and the edge portion 6 matches. A slot 8 is opened on the surface of the edge portion 6. A pair of locking blocks 9 are installed on the surfaces of both sides of the extension portion 7. The slot 8 and the locking blocks 9 match. The two ends of the locking blocks 9 are provided with bevels.

[0037] When the utensil is not in use, the spoon body 1 and the connecting part 3 can be folded together by the connecting piece 5. When it is needed, the spoon body 1 and the connecting part 3 can be unfolded. The slot 8 and the block 9 can limit the connecting part 3. Since the connecting piece 5 is located above the spoon body 1 and the connecting part 3, and the extension 7 supports the spoon body 1, there will be no folding when using it.

[0038] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
