Spatula

Abstract

A spatula specifically designed to retrieve contents, typically, the remnants, from a container having a constricted opening, has an elongated handle with a flexible blade peripherally defined by a pair of shoulders extending laterally from the handle and rounding to form a pair of side edges. A first side edge is generally parallel to the handle and terminates in a bottom edge extending perpendicularly from the first side edge. The second side edge originates from an acute angle with the second shoulder and extends obliquely toward the handle and terminates in an obtuse rounded angel with the bottom edge of the spatula. Topographically, the spatula blade has a front face surface having a concave depression and a back surface generally accommodating the front face surface.

1 . A spatula for retrieving contents from a container having a constricted opening, said spatula comprising:
 an elongated handle having proximal and distal ends; and,   a flexible blade attached to said distal end of said handle, said blade peripherally defined by a first and second pair of shoulders extending laterally from said handle, said first shoulder rounding to form a first side edge oriented generally parallel to said handle and terminating in a rounded corner forming a bottom edge extending generally perpendicularly from said first side edge; and, said second shoulder rounding at an acute angle forming a second side edge obliquely oriented toward said handle and terminating in a rounded corner forming an obtuse angle at said bottom edge; and, said defined flexible blade having a front face surface having a concave depression and a back surface generally opposing said front face surface.   
     
     
         2 . The spatula according to  claim 1  wherein the handle is tapered toward said proximal end.
