  • Flatware for spaghetti
    Patent number: 6493942
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flatware set for spaghetti. When spaghetti is eaten, the spaghetti threads are taken up onto the fork by turning the fork on its axis. In order to improve the spaghetti take-up, the fork (5) has the feature that the at least two teeth (8,9) extend substantially helically around a central axis of the fork. The fork teeth (8,9) then pick up the threads of spaghetti better. Despite a helical shape of the teeth (8,9), it is nevertheless possible to eat conveniently with this fork (5), since this fork (5) is pulled out of the mouth in a helical movement.
