  • Publication number: 20120133167
    Abstract: A pair of training chopsticks comprises an upper chopstick member and a lower chopstick member. A thumb ergonomic device is provided, which does not directly contact the lower chopstick member, but fixed at the upside of the front surface of the lower chopstick member through a fixing element. The thumb ergonomic device is shaped in a curve, the opening of which substantially directs to the head of chopsticks, so that when the chopsticks are held, the curve opening touches a region of the ulnar side of the thumb not touching the lower chopstick member, for maintaining the correct relative position between the thumb and the lower chopstick members.
