Abstract

The present invention relates to tableware. The tableware includes a handle and a holding section connected with the handle. The cross-section of the handle is “M”-shaped, with a “V”-shaped groove extending from the middle of the handle to the holding section, and at least one V-shaped groove being positioned in the middle of the holding section. The above-mentioned parts make up the strengthened tableware. The “M”-shaped and “W”-shaped grooves strengthen the handle, the palm and the finger of the tableware. On the other hand, the manufacturing and concave points located at the “M”-shaped groove of the front surface and the “W”-shaped groove of the back surface of the tableware enable the tableware to overlap closely and steadily because of a parallel-wave structure principle. Different types or the same type of tableware can overlap closely.

Claims

1. A tableware, the tableware comprising:

a handle having a holding section integral with the handle;

the cross-section of the handle is “

M”

-shaped;

a “

V”

-shaped groove in the middle of the handle extends to the holding section; and

at least one V-shaped groove is positioned in the middle of the holding section.

2. The tableware of claim 1 wherein:

the tableware is a table fork;

a strip of “

V”

-shaped groove is positioned in the front surface of the handle;

the “

V”

-shaped groove separately extends from the bottom surface of the handle along two ends of a “

V”

-shaped arc, and intersects with both sides of brachial portions of the handle to form two arrow-cone-tips, the two arrow-cone-tips being coplanar and in an equal height with each other and connecting with the bottom of the brachial portions;

the holding section includes a plurality of fork-fingers and a neck portion which integrate with the handle;

the two arrow-cone-tips, the two brachial portions and the “

V”

-shaped groove extend forward through the transitional “

V”

-shaped groove of the neck portion and form a plurality of functional parts which extend to both sides of the handle in a waved-shape;

the “

V”

-shaped groove is tapered and combined with the neck portion; and

each of the fork-fingers in “

V”

-shaped groove tapers off to the core of the neck portion along the head of the fork-finger, extends, integrates, and intersects with the waved-shaped surface of the neck portion.

3. The tableware of claim 1 wherein:

the tableware is a tablespoon;

a strip of “

V”

-shaped groove is positioned in the front of the handle;

the “

V”

-shaped groove separately extends from the bottom surface of the handle along two ends of a “

V”

-shaped arc, intersects with the both sides of brachial portions of the handle, and form two arrow-cone-tips, the two arrow-cone-tips being coplanar and in an equal height with each other and connect with the bottom of the brachial portions;

the holding section includes a spoon and a neck portion which integrates with the handle;

the “

V”

-shaped groove extends to the middle of the spoon, and two transitional “

V”

-shaped grooves are positioned in the neck portion and extends to the middle of the spoon; and

the front ends of the transitional “

V”

-shaped groove and the “

V”

-shaped groove taper off and terminate at the middle of the spoon.

4. The tableware of claim 1 wherein:

the tableware is a table knife;

a strip of “

V”

-shaped groove is positioned in the front surface of the handle;

the “

V”

-shaped groove separately extends from the bottom surface of the handle along two ends of a “

V”

-shaped arc, and intersects with the both sides of brachial portions, and forms two arrow-cone-tips, the two arrow-cone-tips being coplanar and in an equal height with each other, and connecting with the bottom of the brachial portions;

the holding section including a knife and a neck portion which integrate with the handle;

the “

V”

-shaped groove extends to the front end of the knife, and the knife has a V-shaped groove;

the brachial portions, the arrow-cone-tips, and the “

V”

-shaped groove of the handle extend forward and connect with a transitional “

V”

-shaped groove to strengthen the knife, and the arrow-cone-tips and the “

V”

-shaped groove extending forward and terminating at the front end of the knife.

5. The tableware of claim 2 wherein:

the front surface of the handle is “

M”

-shaped and the back surface is “

W”

V”

-shaped groove tapers off from the middle of the handle to the trail of the handle, ending at the trail, and combining with the trail part in a hemisphere.

6. The tableware of claim 3 wherein:

the front surface of the handle is “

M”

-shaped and the back surface is “

W”

-shaped;

the “

V”

-shaped groove tapers off from the middle of the handle to the trail of the handle, ending at the trail, and combining with the trail part to in a hemisphere.

7. The tableware of claim 4 wherein:

the front surface of the handle is “

M”
