Spoon

Abstract

A spoon having a spoon head and a handle, the head including a large arcuate portion, a small arcuate portion that is located opposite to the large arcuate portion and formed as a serving end, and two arcuate connecting portions for connecting the small arcuate portion with the large arcuate portion at both ends thereof respectively. The spoon handle connects with either of the two arcuate connecting portions and inclines to the large arcuate portion of the spoon head.

1 . A spoon, comprising:
 a spoon head and a spoon handle, the spoon head comprising a first arcuate portion, a second arcuate portion that defines a serving end of the spoon, the first arcuate portion being located opposite to the second arcuate portion, the spoon head further comprising a third arcuate portion that connects a first end of the first arcuate portion to a first end of the second arcuate portion, and a fourth arcuate portion that is opposite the third arcuate portion and connects a second end of the first arcuate portion to a second end of the second arcuate portion;   wherein the spoon handle connects with one of the third or fourth arcuate portions;   wherein the spoon head is further defined by a first axis that bisects the first arcuate portion and the second arcuate portion and a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and passes through the third arcuate portion and the fourth arcuate portion;   wherein the third arcuate portion and the fourth arcuate portion are symmetrical about the first axis;   wherein the spoon handle extends out from the spoon head inclining away from the second axis along a line passing through a gravity center of the spoon head, the gravity center being located at an intersection of the first axis and the second axis; and   wherein the first arcuate portion comprises a first radius of curvature and the second arcuate portion comprises a second radius of curvature, the second radius of curvature being smaller than the first radius of curvature.   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The spoon of  claim 1 , wherein the spoon handle inclines away from the second axis along a line that forms an angle of from about 2° to about 15° with the second axis. 
     
     
         4 . The spoon of  claim 3 , wherein said angle is in a range of from about 7° to about 8°. 
     
     
         5 . The spoon of  claim 1 , wherein an upward curved section is provided in the area of the spoon handle connecting with the spoon head. 
     
     
         6 - 8 . (canceled)
