The present utility model relates to the field of catering, and particularly relates to tableware and tableware sets.
There are various types of tableware for children such as knives, forks and spoons. The gripping part of such tableware usually has many different structures as well. At present, the gripping part of the tableware for children generally has a flat structure or a cylindrical three-dimensional structure, which are often inconvenient for children to hold, or easy to be dropped from children's hands, thus causing great inconvenience to children when they use such tableware in dining.
The present utility model aims to provide a tableware and a tableware set, which not only can be held conveniently and avoid dropping from a user's hand, but also have a simple structure and are easy to manufacturer.
In order to achieve the above purpose, one aspect of the present utility model provides a tableware, which comprises a dining part and a handle, wherein the handle has a gripping part in the middle with a smaller cross section than two ends of the handle.
Further, the griping part is a structure inwardly depressed in an arc along the longitudinal surface.
Further, the tail end of the handle is a smooth cambered-surfaced structure.
Further, the tableware comprises a gong-mouth part which is used to connect the dining part with the handle, wherein the gong-mouth part cooperates with the handle to form a smooth transition structure.
Further, the dining part is a knife, a fork or a spoon.
Another aspect of the present utility model provides a tableware set, which comprises the above tableware and a base matching the tableware, wherein the base comprises a top opening for accommodating the tableware and a bottom support structure for supporting the tableware.
Further, the gong-mouth part arranged between the dining part and the handle has a positioning structure matching the base. The base has a body which cooperates with the gong-mouth part so as to form a smooth transition structure.
According to the technical solution of the present utility model, the tableware comprises a dining part and a handle having an structure in the middle that is inwardly depressed in an arc, such that a user can hold the inwardly depressed structure of the handle when using the tableware and thus the tableware is not easy to drop from his or her hand. The tail end of the handle is a smooth cambered-surfaced structure, which gives the user a comfortable gripping feeling and will not cause any harm to the user.
For the purpose of better understanding the present utility model, the accompanying drawings are provided as a part of the present utility model. The exemplary embodiments and the descriptions thereof are provided to explain the present utility model, which do not intend to limit the present utility model. The accompanying drawings include:
The following are detailed descriptions of the present utility model in view of the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. In the absence of conflicts, the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, and the features in each embodiment can be combined with each other.
According to an embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in
There can further be a gong-mouth part 30 provided between the dining part 10 and handle 20 as a transition connection structure. Since the dining part 10 and the handle 20 are made from different materials, by using the gong-mouth part 30 that is made a material between the material of the dining part 10 and the material of the handle 20 as the connection between the dining part 10 and handle 20, the connection can be further strengthened, thereby extending the lifespan of the tableware. The gong-mouth part 30 can be provided separately, or as a part of the handle 20. When the gong-mouth part 30 is provided separately, it should have a structure which can cooperate with the handle 20 so as to form a smooth transition structure, such that a user will not feel uncomfortable even he or she grips this connecting location. The dining part 10 in the present embodiment is a knife, a fork or a spoon.
A tableware set provided in the present utility model comprises the tableware and a hollow base 40 matching the tableware. The base 40 comprises a body which cooperates with the gong-mouth part 30 so as to form a smooth transition structure. A top opening 41 at the top of the base 40 is used to accommodate the tableware. A bottom support at the bottom of the base 40 is used to support the tableware so as to ensure that the tableware stands stably after it is put into the base 40. In the present embodiment, the bottom support is a flush end-face support structure, and its body has a convex-arc structure, which makes the base 40 have enough inner space to accommodate the tableware. Preferably, the gong-mouth part 30 comprises a positioning structure matching the base 40 to facilitate positioning the tableware when it is put in the base 40 and ensure that the tableware is placed in a right position.
From the above descriptions, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present utility model can achieve the following technical effects: as the tableware comprises a dining part and a handle having an arc-shaped inwardly depressed structure in the middle, a user when using the tableware can hold the arc-shaped inwardly depressed structure of the handle such that the tableware will easily drop from his or her hand. Besides, the tail end of the handle is a smooth cambered-surfaced structure, which brings the user a comfortable gripping feel and will not cause harm to the user.
What is described above is just preferred embodiments of the present utility model, which is not intended to limit the present utility model, and various alterations and variations could be made to the present utility model by a person skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements within the spirit and principle of the present utility model should be included within the scope of the present utility model.
