Eating utensil system
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.
MEASURING SCOOP
A measuring scoop and its method for fabrication. In one embodiment, a planar element is fabricated of a foldable material. The planar element is generally circular, and is scored with three generally linear scores each having a first end substantially at the center of the element and a second end proximate an outer edge of the element. Folding the element about the scores produces a generally conically shaped object that can be used as a measuring scoop for food and other things. A handle protrudes into the interior of the scoop. In some embodiments, the two portions comprising the handle are held together securely by a tab in one portion that locks into a slit in the other portion.

Oyster opener, multi-functional oyster opener, oyster processing system, and/or portable oyster processing device
An oyster opener device, system, kit, and/or method which preferably greatly enhances the ease and enjoyment of preparing oysters or other shellfish. The oyster opener may be entirely manually powered, manually powered and free of all motors and electrical components, may be operated by a powered device, may include a motor, or may be operated manually with a powered assist.
EATING UTENSIL WITH INWARDLY CURVING SCORES
A deformable sheet defines a handle and an operational element in which one or more scores, which may be straight, curved, or a combination of straight and curved, are cooperatively provided to enable deformation of the handle portion to convert the operational element into a strong, sturdy, and functional implement sufficient to meet the required application. When curved scores are present, they may be concave (outwardly curving) or convex (inwardly curving) with respect to the longitudinal midline of the operational element.
VERSATILE TABLEWARE DEVICE
A tableware device includes a main body and multiple tableware members. The main body has a lower cover and an upper cover. The upper cover has a first fastener. A receiving space is formed between the upper cover and the lower cover. An end of the lower cover is rotatably connected to an end of the upper cover by a pivoting portion, and free ends thereof jointly form an opening. The lower cover is formed with a first connecting portion and a second fastener corresponding to the first fastener to fasten the upper and lower covers. The tableware members are removably disposed on the main body. Each is provided with a second connecting portion corresponding to the first connecting portion to connect the tableware member with the main body.

COOKING UTENSILWITH DOUBLE FOLDING
Disclosed is a cooking utensil with double folding which includes a body part of which one of cooking utensils such as scoops, forks, spoons, flip, spatulas and cooking spoons is selectively formed from an end, a handle part, and a rotating part which includes at least two or more holes formed in one side and the other side thereof so that one end is connected to the first rack portion and the other end is connected to the second rack portion to be doubly foldable.

CONSTRUCTIBLE UTENSILS WITH LOCKING TAB
Utensil elements and methods for their fabrication. In one embodiment, a planar utensil element is fabricated of a foldable material, and has a length greater than a width. The planar utensil element comprises first and second scores, said scores being generally symmetrical about a midline running along the length of the planar utensil element, and indicative of where the planar element is to be folded in order to become a usable utensil. Folding the planar utensil element about the first and second scores produces a handle and a bowl. The handle is formed by two generally symmetrical halves joined together by interconnecting tabs in a “tab-lock” arrangement.
