Claims
- 1. Apparatus comprising a kitchen utensil holder in combination with a clamp for mounting the holder to a pan or other container, said holder comprising first and second outer loops spaced laterally from one another, a third inner loop having an opening that is greater than the space between said first and second outer loops and connected to said outer loops by first and second connecting members, a support member attached to one of said outer loops, said support member having a portion defining an opening;
- said clamp comprising two jaws and spring means normally holding said jaws in closed position, said spring means embodying a spring member that extends between and laterally of said jaws and has an opening extending therethrough;
- a bolt extending through said opening and the opening in said spring member; and
- fastening means for fastening said bolt so as to secure said holder to said clamp in a selected position.
- 2. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said bolt is threaded and said fastening mean is a nut screwed onto said bolt.
- 3. Apparatus according to claim 1 further including a second support member attached to the other of said outer loops and having a portion defining an opening through which said bolt extends.
- 4. Apparatus according to claim 1 further including a spoon having a handle with a relatively wide face portion and a relatively narrow edge portion, the width of said face portion being such that said face portion cannot pass through the space between said first and second outer loops but can pass into the opening of said third inner loop, and the width of said edge portion being such that it can pass through the space between said first and second outer loops.
- 5. Apparatus according to claim 3 further including a spoon having a handle with a relatively wide face portion and a relatively narrow edge portion, the width of said face portion being such that said face portion cannot pass through the space between said first and second outer loops or into the opening of said third loop, and the width of said edge portion being such that it can pass through the space between the bottom of said inner loop and said second support member.
- 6. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein one of said clamp jaws is longer than the other of said jaws.
- 7. Apparatus comprising a kitchen utensil holder in combination with a clamp for mounting the holder to a pan or other container,
- said holder comprising first and second supports disposed opposite to one another, first and second laterally extending openings in said first and second supports respectively, said first and second openings being aligned with one another, first and second outer loops spaced laterally from one another, first and second connectors respectively connecting said first and second outer loops to said first and second supports respectively, a third inner loop having an opening that is greater than the space between said first and second outer loops, and third and fourth connectors respectively connecting said third inner loop to said first and second outer loops;
- said clamp comprising two jaws and spring means normally holding said jaws in closed position, said spring means embodying a spring member that extends between and laterally of said jaws and has an opening extending therethrough;
- a bolt extending through said first and second openings and the opening in said spring member; and
- fastening means for fastening said bolt so as to secure said holder to said clamp in a selected position.
- 8. Apparatus according to claim 7 wherein said bolt is threaded and said fastening means is a nut screwed onto said bolt.
- 9. Apparatus according to claim 7 further including a spoon having a handle with a relatively wide face portion and a relatively narrow edge portion, the width of said face portion being such that said face portion cannot pass through the space between said first and second outer loops but can pass into the opening of said third inner loop, and the width of said edge portion being such that it can pass through the space between said first and second outer loops.
- 10. Apparatus according to claim 7 wherein one of said first and second connectors has a straight portion directly connecting one of said outer loops to one of said first and second supports, and further wherein said bolt extends at substantially a right angle to said straight portion.
- 11. Apparatus according to claim 7 wherein one of said clamp jaws is longer than the other jaw.
