摘要:
The invention relates to a scoop (1) used in cooking and/or portioning food, comprising a plate-like, elongated handle (10) and a plate-like scoop blade (20) as its extension. The handle (10) is provided with at least one weakening line (11) in the longitudinal direction of the handle (10), which allows the handle (10) to be bent into a chute by pressing the handle (10). The scoop blade (20) is provided with two or more weakening lines (21, 22), which join the longitudinal weakening line (11) or weakening lines of the handle (10) in such a way that the scoop blade (20) bends into a chute, cup, spoon or dish forced by the bending of the handle (10) into a chute. The weakening lines (11, 21) are formed of elastic material (13), which is more elastic than the scoop material. At the weakening lines there are slots (14) in the scoop material, which are filled up with the said elastic material (13).

Plastic cutlery and tableware made in at least two parts joinable to form a unitary utensil, serving piece, beverage container or non-food contacting tableware in which the parts are made of different materials. The materials of the parts differ in at least one of the following: color, type of plastic, grade of plastic, source of plastic, and additives such as the presence of an anti-microbial agent, transparency, or reflectivity. Food-grade resins, for example, can be used for the heads of cutlery and recycled resins are used for the handles. Heads can be separately metalized and then joined to non-metalized handles. Handles may be made to fit to different types of heads. The parts of the cutlery may be joined by inserting a tang extending from one into a cavity formed in the other. The parts of tableware may be joinable by a snap-fit configuration.

Drinking vessels and drinking vessel holders display moving images. The vessels and holders include stimulating components for visual, auditory and tactile stimulation, as well as sensing components and processors. Visual stimulation is provided by LEDs, LCDs, electroluminescent light sources and two immiscible liquids in a wall. Speech and vibrations can be output. Sensing components sense location and dynamics of vessels and holders, innate characteristics of the contents, and light. A stimulating component can be activated by signals from a sensing component or processor. A vessel or holder can communicate with a user or device based on the signals received from a sensing component or processor.

Overmolded articles of cutlery that include a first molded structure that includes a working end and a longitudinal support core extending away from the working end, the core including top and bottom surfaces and opposed sidewalls located along its length with the sidewalls having a height that extends above the top surface of the core; and a second molded structure present upon the top surface of the core between the sidewalls forming with the support core a handle for the article. Preferably, the first and second molded structures have different colors and the first molded structure includes islands so as to enhance the appearance of the cutlery. Also, methods of making these articles by overmolding the second molded structure over at least a portion of the first molded structure are disclosed.
摘要:
A combination spoon and fork system capable of being stored in a nested configuration or used as a combination eating utensil with the spoon and fork connected end to end. An interlocking mechanism can interlock the spoon and fork in either the nested position or in the end to end configuration. The interlocking system allows the handle of the spoon to slide between rails on the handle of the fork and to snap and lock the spoon in place either nested with the fork or end to end with the fork to form an elongated combination eating utensil. The spoon and fork of the system can also be used separately from one another.
