  • Publication number: 20110042977
    Abstract: A dual-segment chopstick includes an upper segment, a lower segment and a coupling element. The upper segment, having a top and a bottom, is a hollow tube and includes a lid having a plurality of clamping portions extended toward an interior of the upper segment. The lower segment also has a top and a bottom. The coupling element is settled on the top of the lower segment and has a fastening set for engaging with the bottom of the upper segment so that the top of the lower segment can be coupled with the bottom of the upper segment by the fastening set to form the chopstick that can be easily assembled and disassembled. When the lower segment is received inside the upper segment, the clamping portions hold the bottom of the lower segment so as to contract the chopstick and reduce a volume thereof.
