Description

1 TARIFF ERGONOMIC FORK WITH LEAKPROOF SALT CONTAINER AND QUANTITY INDICATOR Spoon Set Technical Area The invention relates to kitchenware and portable tableware, particularly for camping activities, 10 Air, train and sea travel, hospital diet monitoring, caravan living and minimalist routine. Developed for use in confined spaces such as homes; features a leak-proof mechanism and volume It relates to a fork and spoon assembly with a scaled integrated salt container (2). Technically, the invention is a body (1) with an end body that performs the function of eating and a handle attached to that body. The invention includes a transparent salt container (2) located in part of the dish. 15 a seal that prevents liquid from entering the reservoir during machine or hand washing seal (4), bayonet lock cover (5) which prevents unintentional opening during transport and shaking its mechanism, the discharge holes (6) which ensure the homogeneous pouring of salt and the user's This allows for precise monitoring of consumption amounts for health tracking purposes. It includes equipment systems that include volume indicator lines (3). 20 State of the Art Nowadays, forks and spoons are manufactured according to standard dining ergonomics, this situation Users may use external salt shakers or other supplementary ingredients like salt that they want to add to their food. This leads to a need for packaged products. In the known state of the art, this need is 25 To solve this, external salt shakers or disposable containers, usually found on tables, can be used. Plastic / paper packaging is used. However, these current solutions, especially for campsites and aircraft / caravans where space is limited, are not ideal. These environments present serious logistical and hygiene deficiencies. External salt shakers are susceptible to shaking. It poses an immediate risk of tipping over and spilling, and also occupies unnecessary space in confined areas. 30 It restricts the range of motion. In some existing integrated salt shaker trials, the biggest technical issue is... The missing element is a lack of a seal that would prevent liquid from entering the reservoir during washing. the absence of a gasket (4) and a secure cover (5) mechanism. 2 This situation causes salt to clump together, degrade, and rot after washing, especially in humid environments. This leads to hygiene problems. Furthermore, in terms of health monitoring... When examined, traditional methods cannot precisely determine the amount of salt consumed by the user. There is no volume indicator line (3) or visual tracking system that can measure the volume. The technology In its known state, it has a salt storage function along with a food-eating function. a transparent container 10 which combines under a secure bayonet lock (5) which both increases portability (2) No integrated kitchen equipment that provides quantity tracking with its structure has been encountered. This invention eliminates all of these technical shortcomings, ensuring leak-proofness, safety, and dosage monitoring. It brings them together in a single integrated system. Purpose of the Invention 15 The primary purpose of the invention is to provide external solutions for environments such as campsites, travel, and confined living spaces. The aim is to eliminate the need for a salt shaker, offering a hygienic and safe salt storage system. Accordingly, a portable design in which a transparent spice container (2) is integrated into the handle part. The aim is to achieve space savings. Another critical objective of the invention is, especially for 20 through the sealing gasket (4) and bayonet lock cover (5) during cleaning and washing by preventing liquid, dust or moisture from entering the reservoir (2) and preventing the salt from clumping together. The aim is to extend the service life. In this system, which combines physical safety with health monitoring, the reservoir (2) The volume indicator lines (3) on it visually show the amount of salt consumed by the user. The aim is to enable monitoring and assist with dietary discipline. Also, bayonet 25 With the locking lid (5) mechanism, it prevents unintentional openings that may occur during a shock. passing through and through the drain holes (6) located under the lid (5) the salt is placed on the food. The aim is to pour the liquid in a homogeneous and controlled manner. Shapes Figure 1: Perspective view of the ergonomic fork with leakproof salt reservoir and quantity indicator.

It transforms the product. From the outside, it has the ergonomics of a standard fork or spoon. It has a storage unit with high sealing capacity in the handle section. It contains. The transparent spice container (2), which forms the basic component of the invention, together with the fork / spoon tip body (1) and 25 They are joined together in a leak-proof manner to form the stem part of the product. Reservoir (2) The volume indicator lines (3) on it show the user the amount of salt inside in milliliters (ml). By enabling clear visualization, it is particularly sensitive for individuals monitoring diets. It provides consumption data. One of the most critical technical features of the product is the sealing system, sealing gasket (4) 30 and is provided with a bayonet lock cover (5) combination. The bayonet lock cover (5) "press- 4 When closed by the "rotate" mechanism, mechanical pressure is applied to the sealing gasket (4) 5 By applying this method, it completely seals the mouth of the container (2). This device prevents the product from being washed. to prevent water, detergent or moisture from entering the reservoir (2) during washing in the machine or by hand It makes it impossible to preserve the form of the salt inside. The drain holes (6) located under the lid (5) allow salt to be poured onto the food all at once. It acts as a filter, preventing spillage and ensuring a homogeneous distribution. 10 In case of shaking or falling during use, the bayonet locking cover (5) is secured. Thanks to its structure, it prevents unintentional openings, thus preventing environmental pollution and salt loss. The invention's body structure is made of polymer or metal materials resistant to vertical and horizontal compressions. It is manufactured to offer long-lasting use. The system, thanks to its transparent reservoir (2) structure While exhibiting a minimalist and modern look, all technological and functional equipment is available in 15 It is concealed within an ergonomic handle design. How the invention can be applied to industry. The subject of the invention is "Cutlery Set with Leakproof Salt Container and Quantity Indicator", currently 20 It can be produced in full compliance with industrial production techniques and mass production lines. It is of a quality. The main components of the product are the fork / spoon tip body (1) and the transparent spice container. container (2), production of food contact suitable polymers by injection molding method It is based on the principle of the transparent spice container (2) and bayonet lock lid in the mass production process. (5) manufactured using high precision molds, volume indicator on the reservoir (2) 25 lines (3) by embossing method during molding stage or laser marking after production It is permanently processed using technology that sets the leak-proof standard for the system. The sealing gasket (4) of elastomeric structure is placed on the mouth of the hopper (2) or on automatic assembly lines. The water tightness of the product is optimized by placing it in the cover (5) slot. In industrial applications, depending on the product segment, the end body (1) is made of stainless steel and 30 All parts can be joined together with mechanical locking methods with the plastic container (2). Cost effectiveness can also be achieved by manufacturing it from a single type of polymer. The final product; international kitchenware in terms of dimensions, ergonomics and materials used and in accordance with food safety standards, from household kitchen appliances to logistics equipment. It has the capability to be commercially produced across a very wide range of industrial applications, up to and including its production. 35
