Description

[Technical field]

[0001] To provide a foldable chopstick rest that allows the user to take chopsticks from the chopstick rest and hold them while scooping them up. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, the action of picking up the chopsticks from the chopstick rest required picking up the chopsticks with your non-dominant hand, then shifting the chopsticks to your dominant hand and arranging and holding them. DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] This caused the following problems: (a) Every time I wanted to pick up chopsticks from the chopstick rest, I had to switch them from my non-dominant to my dominant hand. (b) Every time I put the chopsticks back on the rest, I had to switch from my dominant to my non-dominant hand. The present invention is intended to make it possible to retrieve chopsticks using one hand, whereas the above-mentioned procedure requires using both hands. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The chopstick rest is provided with a chopstick holder that allows the chopsticks to be placed at a high position, and the chopstick holder has a movable arare group so that the angle can be changed, making it a foldable chopstick rest that can be used to scoop up chopsticks and hold them at the same time. Effect of the Invention

[0005] The present invention allows one to pick up the chopsticks from the table and start eating with one hand without using both hands, making it possible to more enjoyable meals and conversations at banquets and the like. In addition, since you can place your chopsticks down with one hand without using both hands, handling chopsticks is simplified. In addition, by making the arare group movable, the angle of the chopstick holder can be laid outward at 90 degrees, making the chopstick rest flat and convenient for storage and carrying. If you have a lot of chopstick rests, the flat shape makes them easier to store and store without taking up too much space. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION Example 1

[0006] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (a) The base (1) of the arare-gumi (clay frame) with some rounded corners is combined with the chopstick holder plate (2) of the arare-gumi (clay frame) with some rounded corners, and the connecting shaft rod (3) is inserted into the hole to connect them. The present invention has the above configuration. When using the present invention, the chopstick holder (2) is raised and the chopsticks are placed on it like a bridge. When using chopsticks, they are at a height where your fingers can easily reach in, so if you grab the chopsticks from underneath with the hand you are using them with, you are immediately ready to use them. When putting the chopsticks back, if you lower the chopsticks with the hand holding them, you can return them to the chopstick holder (2) in a position similar to the ready position. When storing or carrying, the chopstick holder (2) can be laid down to reduce bulk. [Brief description of the drawings]
