<p>Cutlery forceps comprise pivotally-connected first and second members, the first member having a finger grip portion 2 at one end and a curved, serrated 9 jaw portion 5 at the other and the second member having a thumbstall 1 at one end and a curved, serrated 8 channel portion 6 at the other. The forceps are intended for use at the dining table, or at barbeque parties. They are used at meals where the food items are served very hot and consist of meat-on-the-bone such as spare ribs, marinated ribs, lobsters, crabs, chops or poultry legs or thighs. In use the diner grips the handle 2 and places rhe thumb into the thumb-stall 1 so that movement of the thumb in relation to the fingers produce a mechanical grip between the curved serrated jaws. The cutlery forceps allows the user to lift and firmly grip and hold the hot meat pieces without ending-up with sticky, greasy, discoloured, or burnt fingers. The forceps are equally suited to left or right handed users. The forceps can be made from stainless steel or heat-resistant polymers.</p> |
