Chopsticks

Abstract

A chopsticks has two sticks and two resilient elements. The sticks are arranged next to each other. Each of the two sticks has a serving end portion, an eating end portion, and a picking portion formed on the serving end portion. Each of the two resilient elements has two ends connected to the two sticks respectively. A user can pick up dishes from common plates to their personal plates with the picking portion and would not carelessly put the picking portions into his/her mouth. The chopsticks can be used as a serving chopsticks and a private chopsticks at the same time for the convenience of dining and waiting time for queuing to use serving chopsticks can be saved. Moreover, with the resilient elements fixing the two sticks on a first imaginary plane, the chopsticks does not roll on and fall off the table.

         11 . The chopsticks as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein
 the eating end portion of each of the sticks has a holding surface, and the holding surfaces of the eating end portions of the two sticks face towards each other;   the picking portion of each of the sticks also has a holding surface, and the holding surfaces of the picking portions of the two sticks face towards each other; and   the holding surfaces of the eating end portions and the picking portions of the sticks are embossed with anti-slip patterns.   
     
     
         12 . The chopsticks as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the picking portion of each of the sticks is formed as a plate and spreads to define a second imaginary plane that is perpendicular to the first imaginary on which the two sticks are disposed. 
     
     
         13 . The chopsticks as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the picking portion of each of the sticks is formed as a plate and spreads to define a second imaginary plane that is perpendicular to the first imaginary on which the two sticks are disposed. 
     
     
         14 . The chopsticks as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the picking portion of each of the sticks is formed as a plate and spreads to define a second imaginary plane that is perpendicular to the first imaginary on which the two sticks are disposed.
