Abstract

The present invention discloses an environmental chopsticks module and its chopsticks rest, and the chopsticks rest is provided for binding, storing, using and placing a pair of environmental chopsticks. The chopsticks rest includes two end portions, at least two loops disposed between the two end portions, an opening formed separately on both lateral sides of the two loops, a containing space formed at the internal circumference of the two loops for binding and storing the environmental chopsticks, and at least one racking space formed at a joint of the two loops for using and placing the environmental chopsticks, so as to constitute the environmental chopsticks module and its chopsticks rest.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A chopsticks rest, provided for binding, storing, using and placing a pair of environmental chopsticks, characterized in that the chopsticks rest comprises two end portions, at least two loops disposed between the two end portions, an opening disposed on both lateral sides of the two loops, a containing space formed at the internal circumference of the two loops for binding and storing the environmental chopsticks, and at least one racking space formed at a joint of the two loops for using and placing the environmental chopsticks. 
   
   
       2 . The chopsticks rest of  claim 1 , wherein the two end portions have end points that serve as support points of the chopsticks rest. 
   
   
       3 . The chopsticks rest of  claim 1 , wherein the loop comes with a disposing plane. 
   
   
       4 . The chopsticks rest of  claim 1 , wherein the chopsticks rest is a flexible body, such that a force can be applied to adjust the internal diameter of the containing space according to the external diameter of the environmental chopsticks. 
   
   
       5 . The chopsticks rest of  claim 1 , wherein the chopsticks rest is a flexible body, such that a force can be applied to adjust an interval of the racking space according to the external diameter of the environmental chopsticks. 
   
   
       6 . The chopsticks rest of  claim 1 , wherein an end portion of the chopsticks rest is placed into the containing space of the environmental chopsticks and racked between the two environmental chopsticks to form a force applying fulcrum. 
   
   
       7 . The chopsticks rest of  claim 1 , wherein the racking space comes with a plurality, and each racking space is equal to or greater than the external diameter of a single chopstick of the environmental chopsticks. 
   
   
       8 . An environmental chopsticks module, comprising:
 a pair of environmental chopsticks, including two chopsticks, and each chopstick including a cap, a holding member and an extending member sequentially from the top to the bottom according to its assembling configuration, and the external diameter of the cap is greater than the external diameter of the holding member which is greater than the external diameter of the extending member, so that the extending member can be stored into the holding member, and the cap can store the holding member;   a chopsticks rest, including two end portions, at least two loops disposed between the two end portions, an opening formed separately on both sides of the two loops, a containing space formed at the internal circumference of the two loops for binding and storing the environmental chopsticks, and at least one racking space formed at a joint of the two loops for using and disposing the environmental chopsticks.   
   
   
       9 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , wherein the two end portions have end points that serve as support points of the chopsticks rest. 
   
   
       10 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , wherein the loop comes with a disposing plane. 
   
   
       11 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , wherein the chopsticks rest is a flexible body, such that a force can be applied to adjust the internal diameter of the containing space according to the external diameter of the environmental chopsticks. 
   
   
       12 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , wherein the chopsticks rest is a flexible body, such that a force can be applied to adjust an interval of the racking space according to the external diameter of the environmental chopsticks. 
   
   
       13 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , wherein an end portion of the chopsticks rest is placed into the containing space of the environmental chopsticks and racked between the two environmental chopsticks to form a force applying fulcrum. 
   
   
       14 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , wherein the racking space comes with a plurality, and each racking space is equal to or greater than the external diameter of a single chopstick of the environmental chopsticks. 
   
   
       15 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , further comprises a first connecting element and a second connecting element disposed at a connecting position of the extending member and the holding member for constituting a limit position for the extending member at its extended status. 
   
   
       16 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 15 , wherein the first connecting element is an external thread, and the second connecting portion is a screw lump corresponding to a screw connection. 
   
   
       17 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 8 , further comprising a first position limiting portion and a second position limiting portion disposed at a connecting position of the cap and the holding member for defining a position limiting relation. 
   
   
       18 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 17 , wherein the first position limiting portion has an internal diameter slightly smaller than the second position limiting portion to define a position limiting relation with a tight engagement. 
   
   
       19 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 18 , wherein the second position limiting portion is a connecting element for selectively separating and coupling the holding member. 
   
   
       20 . The environmental chopsticks module of  claim 19 , further comprising a corresponding thread portion disposed at a connecting position of the connecting element and the holding member.
