The present disclosure is directed to biodegradable cutlery, and more specifically to spoons, forks, and knives. The biodegradable cutlery includes a plurality of recesses disposed on the handle forming a rib to resist twisting and bending. An indentation may be disposed along a neck of the cutlery to enhance stability further.

The training device for chewing and swallowing can be used by patients who have difficulty chewing and/or swallowing to assist them to learn how to chew and swallow. The device includes a bolus delivery cylinder and a plunger. The bolus delivery cylinder can include a cylindrical housing having a peripheral wall and a hollow interior. The plunger can be slidably received in the cylindrical housing and secured thereto. In some embodiments the peripheral wall can be perforated. The interior of the housing is configured to accommodate small pieces of food. The bolus delivery cylinder can be made from a transparent, flexible material, such as silicon.

A fork is provided. The fork includes a fork handle made of silicone. The fork also includes a fork head made of the silicone and integrally formed with the fork handle. The fork further includes an embedded support disposed inside the fork head and extending into the fork handle, a length of the embedded support being less than about 35% of a full length of the fork. The embedded support is made of a material having a strength greater than the silicone.

The present invention discloses a multi-functional all in one eating utensil, combining a fork, knife and bottle opener into one utensil. In an embodiment of the present invention, the utensil is cutlery device which features sharp ridge, serrated/way tine side edges on exterior surfaces of a first outer tine, a second outer tine, or both the first and second outer tines, allowing users to cut or slice food into smaller portions with the knife like designs embedded onto the outer tines of the fork. This invention is usable with either hand, and benefits those with disabilities. The handle portion executes as bottle opener, wherein a bottle opener slot is cut, embedded, or situated onto the handle of the fork. A handle bottle opener lifts crown caps from bottle mouths constituting as a lever so that the opener of beverage caps can be lifted and removed for user drinking purposes.

A stackable cutlery utensil includes a utensil portion and a handle portion. The handle portion has opposing first and second ends, with the second end being adjacent the utensil portion. The handle portion further has opposing upper and lower surfaces. First and second protrusions project from the lower surface. A recess is included on the upper surface.

Renewably-sourced biodegradable polyolefin packaging, utensils, and containers include a renewably-sourced polyolefin (for example, polyethylene and polypropylene) and a biodegrading agent. The renewably-sourced biodegradable polyolefin packaging is made from plant materials typically by polymerizing olefins that are made from reducing alcohols created by fermenting plant materials. An example of a suitable plant material is sugarcane and its derivatives. The biodegrading agent accelerates the biodegradation of polyolefin packaging even in anaerobic and dark (i.e., absent of ultraviolet light) environments. Such a packaging is particularly useful for packaging frozen food that is to be microwaved in the packaging. The package is also particularly usable as packaging for frozen comestibles, which are often stored at dry-ice temperatures. Ultimately, the renewably-sourced biodegradable polyolefin packaging provides a start-to-finish green packaging that meets the requirements of being renewably sourced, biodegradable in landfills, and having similar performance as traditional polyolefin packaging.

A clandestine articulating utensil includes a body portion and a head portion, the body portion having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The head portion includes a lower jaw member fixedly attached to and extending away from the proximal end of the body portion and an upper jaw member pivotally coupled to the lower jaw member and having a neck section extending upwardly from a back of the upper jaw member. The upper jaw is movable between a closed configuration parallel and adjacent to the lower member and an open configuration angularly displaced from the lower jaw member. The clandestine articulating utensil includes a utensil coupled to and extending away from the distal end of the body member.
