Food and beverage utensil storage

Abstract

This item is a storage device for eating and drinking utensils, such as forks, spoons, and chopsticks, that is provided in hotels, party restaurants, etc. The item has an interlocking structure that allows it to be stacked one on top of the other by engaging the recessed portion around the top edge with the protruding portion around the bottom. When the uppermost item reaches a certain position, this interlocking structure mechanically stops the sliding movement in the forward and backward directions. This interlocking structure not only positions the item, but also improves its stability during use.
