A pair of chopsticks is disclosed, each of which includes a first body, a second body, and a locking member. The first body has at least one positioning slot, a storage space, and an opening communicating with the storage space. The second body can be completely or partly received in the storage space through the opening of the first body, wherein an outer wall of the second body has at least one protrusion which enters the positioning slot when the second body is in a predetermined position in the storage space. The locking member has a locking portion engaged with the first body, wherein the locking member is controllable to make the locking portion enter the positioning slot to prevent the protrusion therein from leaving the positioning slot whereby the chopsticks are retractable and more portable.

A foldable eating utensil includes a cutlery head, a first rod, and a second rod that are sequentially connected. A neck of the cutlery head connected to the first rod has a restricting portion corresponding to the neck. When the second rod is folded toward the first rod, the second rod is restricted by the restricting portion from leaving the first rod. When the cutlery head is folded toward the compacted first and second rods, the cutlery head is restricted by the same restricting portion for retaining the second rod. Since the second rod is restricted by the restricting portion, during a process of folding the compacted first and second rods toward the cutlery head by an automatic machine, the work of the automatic machine is not be hindered by the second rod leaving the first rod. Therefore, the foldable eating utensil is suitable for automated packaging.

A food product spreader apparatus including a blade having a longitudinal axis, a handle having a longitudinal axis and a pivot block to which the blade is secured. The blade includes a mounting portion for storing the spreader on a food container. The pivot block is rotatably mounted to the handle and the blade and pivot block are movable between a first position where the longitudinal axes of the blade and the handle are generally parallel to one another and a second position where the longitudinal axes of the blade and the handle are generally perpendicular to each other. In the first position the spreader apparatus is available for use and in the second position the spreader apparatus is able to be stored on the container while occupying a minimal amount of space.

A foldable eating utensil includes a cutlery head, a first rod, and a second rod that are sequentially connected. A neck of the cutlery head connected to the first rod having a second restricting portion corresponding to the neck. When the second rod is folded toward the first rod, the second rod is restricted by the second restricting portion from leaving the first rod. When the cutlery head is folded toward the compacted first and second rods, the first rod is restricted by a first restricting portion for retaining the foldable eating utensil compacted. Since the second rod is restricted by the second restricting portion, during a process of folding the compacted first and second rods toward the cutlery head by an automatic machine, the work of the automatic machine could not be hindered by the second rod leaving the first rod. Therefore, the foldable eating utensil of the present invention is suitable for automated packaging.

A foldable eating utensil includes a cutlery head, a first rod, and a second rod that are sequentially connected. A bottom portion of the second rod has a restricting portion. When the second rod, the first rod, and the cutlery head are folded, the cutlery head is restricted by the restricting portion of the second rod. With such design, the foldable eating utensil could be retained in a compacted state after folding, so that the folded part could not hinder the work of automatic machine. Therefore, the foldable eating utensil of the present invention is suitable for automated packaging.

A spork structure is provided in this application, comprising a holding part, a flexible part and a spork part. The flexible part has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, one end of the flexible part is connected to one end of the holding part, the first surface presents a convex surface, and the second surface presents a concave surface. The spork part has multiple tines, each of one end of the multiple tines is connected to the other end of the flexible part in parallel, the other end of multiple tines is mutually away from each other, wherein when pressing the first surface of the flexible part, the first surface presents a concave surface, the second surface presents a convex surface, the other end of multiple tines is mutually close to each other, and the lateral sides of multiple tines adhere to each other.

The invention relates to a multi-functional ladle, which comprises a head made of a soft material, and a handle made of a hard material which comprises a first folding portion and is connected with the head; wherein the head comprises a connecting portion to connect the head and the handle. The connecting portion comprises a second folding portion and a third folding portion, by which the multi-functional ladle can be configured to be a spatula or a ladle. The multi-functional ladle of the invention is ingeniously designed by utilizing the property of the material itself so that the ladle can be easily turned to a spatula or the spatula can be easily turned to a ladle. Therefore the multi-functional ladle can be configured into a tool with two functions.

A system and method for reducing manufacturing costs of patterned constructible utensils and improving their constructability. One constructible utensil includes a set of scores (e.g., a quad of scores including an outer pair and an inner pair, a single such pair, or other number of scores) that are shaped to converge when moving from a bowl-region towards the handle portion. The scores do not intersect but stop and produce various alterations in the converging score pattern. These alterations in the converging pattern help with propagation of a bowl-forming fold responsive to a constructing manipulation of the handle portion (e.g., folding, bending, and other operation on the handle portion and one or more scores on the handle portion).

A portable tableware suite having foldable and combinable tableware includes a box body; a fixing plate located within the box body for limiting and avoiding the tableware from moving in the box body; the tableware, which is at least one member selected from the group consisting of a knife, a fork and a spoon, fixed on the fixing plate; and at least one limit part located on the fixing plate for engaging with the tableware. The fork and the spoon are foldable when in use and are flat while the fixing plate is fixed. The tableware such as flat knife, fork and spoon is fixed on the fixing plate, and then is stored in the box body; the fixing plate is easy to be put in or taken out of the box body.

A foldable spoon being a flat blank in the initial state, and having two adjacent sections with fold lines carved so as to form a shank and a cup-shaped part in a folded state, wherein between the adjacent sections with fold lines there is a perforated boundary which contacts the fold lines of adjacent sections, the fold lines have elongated holes in the form of slits for fasten purpose arranged in such a way that one section has one hole and the other has two such holes; what is more, the fold line on one of the sections forms a retainer.
