Chopsticks with spoon forming features

Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the chopsticks in their mated state to function as a spoon.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the chopsticks separated.

FIG. 3 is a top view of the chopsticks separated.

FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the chopsticks separated.

FIG. 5 is a front view relative to FIG. 3 (chopstick members offset for illustrative purpose).

FIG. 6 is a back view relative to FIG. 3 (chopstick members offset for illustrative purpose).

FIG. 7 is a left view relative to FIG. 3.

FIG. 8 is a right view relative to FIG. 3.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view with the chopstick members held sideways illustrating the pinching function of the pointed spoon features.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view with the chopstick members held reversed relative to FIG. 9 to function in a conventional sense; and,

FIG. 11 is a perspective view with the chopstick members held mated together so that the half-spoon feature of each member combine to form a full spoon.

The broken lines shown in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.

My chopstick design is characterized by each chopstick member forming a half-spoon feature on one end and with alignment feature(s) along the shaft such that, when mated, a full spoon is formed. Additionally, the pointed end of the half spoon features, when turned sideways, can act as a pincher while the opposite end is shaped for conventional use as well as fork-like piercing.

Claims

I claim the ornamental design for chopsticks with spoon forming features, as shown and described.
