A utensil to open a shell of a shellfish, including a first end comprising a shell breaking tool, the shell breaking tool including a first member extending longitudinally away from the handle such that a portion of an end of the first member is inclined into a wedge, a second member disposed adjacent to the first member and extending longitudinally away from the handle, such that a gap is defined between at least a portion of the first member and the second member, and such that the first member is longer than the second member, a second end opposite the first end, and a handle to connect the first end to the second end.

A chopstick provides construction moving the center of gravity toward the tip with respect to the midpoint of the chopstick to provide improved operability and to permit it to rest on small dishes with the tip in a downward orientation.

An eating utensil including a chopsticks 1, 1A-1H that includes a self-elevating eating section 10, 10A-H feature regardless of placement of a handling section 12, 12A-12H on a horizontal surface 32 (when a chopstick is rested by a User). Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A device is for cracking a shell of a food item. The device has a first plier, a second plier and a pivot rotatably connecting the first plier with the second plier for enabling the food item, when arranged between the pliers, to be compressed between the pliers by a rotation of the pliers towards each other. The device further comprises a lockable spacing arrangement having an acceleration dependent locking device adapted to permit the rotation of the two pliers towards each other if an acceleration of the rotation is below a threshold value and adapted to lock the rotation of the two pliers towards each other if the acceleration of the rotation is equal to or exceeding said threshold value.

Eating utensils, namely forks which have the function of liquid dispensing fluid, via fluidic passages inside of the utensils which attach to a container of a liquid affixed at a point within a cage part of the handle of the utensil. The attachment coupled with the action of the user of the utensil actuates the flow of the liquid from the container to a point on or near the eating surface of the utensil.

A utensil for opening and extracting food from a container includes an elongated handle having a first end and a second end. The utensil further includes a pliant blade including one or more features for removing contents from a container and the pliant blade is coupled to the first end of the elongated handle. The pliant blade is defined by an edge enclosing an inner portion. A slit extends from the edge of the pliant blade inwardly into a section of the inner portion and a contoured edge is disposed along a portion of the edge of the pliant blade where the contoured edge corresponds to one or more surface features of a sidewall of a container. The utensil further includes a pull-tab opener disposed on the second end of the elongated handle for accessing and separating a pull-tab from the surface of a lid.

A chopstick having a handling portion and an eating portion. The handling portion may be made from a first material. The eating portion may be made from a second material that is lighter than the first material. The handling portion may be attached to the eating portion. A pivot point may exist at a connection point between the handling portion and the eating portion. When the chopstick is placed on a horizontal surface, the eating portion may be elevated above a horizontal surface due to the first and second material properties and the pivot point configuration. Thus ensuring that the eating portion of the chopstick remains sanitary and clean, free of germs and dirt.

A tableware includes: a first member having a first tableware body on the distal end; and a second member having a second tableware body on the distal end, the second member being connected to the first member at a pivot point so as to be rotatable relatively to each other, the second member being integrated with the first member to constitute tongs using a third-class lever; and a member having a third tableware body on the distal end, the knife being retractably connected to the set of the members at the pivot point so that the third tableware body is positioned between the pair of tableware bodies, the knife being integrated with the pair of members to constitute a fork when gaps are provided between the tableware bodies, the knife being integrated with the pair of members to constitute a spoon when the gaps are not provided between the tableware bodies.

A portable multi-purpose cutlery kit to assist a user is disclosed. The cutlery kit comprises a pair of chopsticks and a spoon member fixedly attached to a support section, wherein the support section is configured to releasably engage one or more fingers of a user to use the cutlery kit simultaneously. The pair of chopsticks are configured to conformingly fit a thumb and an index finger of the user and spoon member is made to conformingly fit a middle finger of the user. The cutlery kit further comprises a plurality of holes on the chopsticks and the spoon configured to receive water for cleaning the kit.
