Abstract: A multipurpose eating utensil has two side parts of flexible sheet material having inner edges joined unitarily by a membrane hinge unitarily for movement of the side parts between a flattened position extending generally coplanar with each other and a folded use position extending at an acute angle to each other from the hinge with the outer edges closely juxtaposed. Front and rear utensil parts are formed unitarily with the side parts of the thin but flexible sheet material and each have an inner edge joined unitarily to ends of both of the side parts and an outer end edge. One of the outer end edges is formed as a fork and the other as a spoon. Male and female fastening formations formed unitarily with the outer side edges can be fitted together to retain the side parts in the folded use position.

Abstract: A multipurpose eating utensil has a pair of side parts of generally isosceles trapezoidal shape and front and rear end parts, all formed of thin but flexible sheet material. Minor base edges of the side parts are closely juxtaposed and substantially parallel to each other and connected by a hinge. A front utensil part has a pair of straight inner edges juxtaposed closely with the front side edges of the side parts, an outer edge formed with longitudinally projecting fork tines, and a longitudinally extending side edge formed as a cutting tool. A rear utensil part has a pair of straight inner edges juxtaposed closely with the rear side edges of the side parts and an outer edge joining outer ends of the respective inner edges. Front and back hinges connect the inner edges of the front and back parts to the side edges of the side parts.

Abstract: A multipurpose eating utensil has a pair of side parts of thin but flexible sheet material having confronting adjacent edges interconnected by a unitary membrane hinge for movement of the side parts to move between a flattened position extending generally coplanar with each other and a folded use position extending at an acute angle or even parallel to each other from the hinge. A front utensil part is formed unitarily with the side parts and has an inner edge joined unitarily to ends of both of the side parts, an outer edge formed with a plurality of longitudinally projecting fork tines, and a longitudinally extending side edge formed as a cutting tool. A rear utensil part is formed unitarily with the side parts. A fastener on at least one of the side parts secures the side parts together in the folded use position.
