  • Patent number: 4211372
    Abstract: A fork accessory for winding spaghetti on a fork comprising a generally rectangular base having a thickened portion at one edge defining a cylindrical recess and including clamping means to detachably secure said base to a dish on which the spaghetti is served. A collar is fitted with inwardly projecting pins which is rotatably supported in the well of said recess. A short shaft passes through the base and connects the bottom of the collar to a hand wheel below the collar and well. A fork, which is filled with spaghetti, is inserted into the collar, the hand wheel rotated, and the pins rotate the fork. A guiding wall vertically projecting from a center edge of the collar serves to neatly wrap the spaghetti around the fork which now needs only to be lifted to the mouth for eating.
