Abstract

An utensil assembly includes a base, and several utensils; the base has several fitting portions on an upper side thereof, an IC board therein, and several light emitting diodes, which are held in respective ones of the fitting portions, and connected to and controlled with the IC board; each of the utensils includes an end portion, which is pervious to light; the utensils are supported on respective ones of the fitting protrusions of the base at the end portions thereof such that when the light emitting diodes are powered to produce light, the light will travel through the pervious-to-light end portions of the utensils; therefore, the utensils will be clearly seen when the environment doesn'"'"'t have enough illumination.

Claims

1. A shining utensil assembly, comprising

a base;

the base having a plurality of fitting portions on an upper side thereof;

the base having an IC board therein;

the base having a plurality of light emitting diodes connected to and controlled with the IC board;

the light emitting diodes being held in respective ones of the fitting portions in such a way as to be visible from above the base; and

a plurality of utensils;

each of the utensils including an utensil end, and a pervious-to-light end portion securely joined to the utensil end, which pervious-to-light end portion has a handle tube;

the utensils being supported on respective ones of the fitting protrusions of the base at the pervious-to-light end portions thereof such that when the light emitting diodes are powered to produce light, the light will travel through the pervious-to-light end portions of the utensils.

2. The shining utensil assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the fitting portions of the base is a protrusion, and the utensils are fitted over respective ones of the fitting portions of the base at the pervious-to-light end portions thereof.

3. The shining utensil assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the fitting portions of the base is a recess, and the utensils are fitted in respective ones of the fitting portions of the base at the pervious-to-light end portions thereof.

4. The shining utensil assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the pervious-to-light end portions of the utensils has a holding room for containing seasonings.

5. The shining utensil assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein there are plural IC boards fitted in the base, and each electrically connected to one of the light emitting diodes.

6. The shining utensil assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein there are plural IC boards fitted in the base, and each electrically connected to a few ones of the light emitting diodes.
