Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a kitchen fork or a similar utensil showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a right side elevational view;

FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 1;

FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 1;

FIG. 6 is a top plan view; and

FIG. 7 is a bottom plan view.

The characteristic features of the design reside in the configuration on the handle and, in particular, the slightly convex cross-sectional profile of the handle, the substantially equal division of the handle into a wider upper shank portion and a narrower lower shank portion which are joined by a short rounded shoulder portion, and the well defined but slight projection of the lower end of the lower shank portion into the base portion of the utensil bowl.
