The present invention provides an improvement on what currently exists, with improved traction. The present invention also provides for better scooping and/or cutting. Unlike the traditional chopstick which does not pick up food items easily or manipulate the food items, like cutting or scooping, the present invention provides a covering attachment having pick up features, scooping features and cutting features, making chopsticks into better eating tools and more sanitary.

Bio-degradable means (100) for use as drinking straw, stirrer and chop stick and a method (200) for making the bio-degradable means (100) is provided. The bio-degradable means (100) includes at least one dried leaf strip (100S) configured to be at least one of straight rolled and spiral rolled along an entirety of an elongated guide member R to facilitate formation of an elongated bio-degradable means (100). The dried leaf strip (100S) is at least one of a coconut tree leaf strip, palm tree leaf strip and a plantain leaf strip. A bonding agent is applied at at least one edge portion of each dried leaf strip (100S) with respect to a length wise direction of the dried leaf strip (100S) to maintain the elongated bio-degradable means (100) in rolled position.

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 pair of hinged chopsticks is disclosed. The pair includes a first chopstick and a second chopstick, each having a main stick with a tapered end and an opposite thicker end. The thicker ends are joined by a pin, functioning as a hinge, allowing the chopsticks to pivot between a flat folded position and an unfolded V-shaped position. A tension provides a biasing force that maintains the chopsticks in the unfolded position. The chopsticks can be squeezed together by the user to bring the tapered ends closer for picking up food items. The device is designed to facilitate use by individuals with limited dexterity, offering ease of operation through a simplified squeezing motion and enabling easy storage by folding the chopsticks flat when not in use.

The multifunctional chopsticks comprise an intelligent control device having a sensor module, a pressure induction module, a timing module, a voice module, a communication module and a power module; the sensor module is arranged at one end of the chopstick body and connected with the timing module, the pressure induction module is arranged on the middle upper portion of the chopstick body and also connected with the timing module; the voice module, the communication module and the power module are arranged at the other end of the chopstick body; the voice module is connected with the sensor module, the timing module and the pressure induction module; and the voice module is connected with the communication module and the power module. The pair of multifunctional chopsticks for children can help the children to use the chopsticks correctly, enables parents to learn about the children's dining habits and obtain specific food information.

Methods for repurposing used chopsticks can be utilized to make various wooden products therefrom. The method can include sorting, stacking, pressing and finishing the product pressed product into a desired manufactured item. The method can include other steps, such as soaking, drying, polishing, and applying a finish. In some embodiments, the chopsticks, prior to pressing, may be modified by soaking, application of a finish or preservative, application of a binder, or the like. Such manufactured items can include furniture, houseware, storage products and the like.
