UTENSIL HANDLE

摘要

A handle (10) for a kitchen utensil or the like includes a hand gripping section (20) having a rearward push/pull valley (25) with a varying, substantially elliptical cross- section that forms a floor (64), a push slope (62) tapering up and forward from the floor, and a pull slope (60) tapering up and back from the floor. The radial cross - sectional area of an end of the pull slope and a radial cross - sectional area of an end of the push slope each are substantially larger than a radial cross - sectional area of the floor. The handle section further includes a ring stop section (30) disposed forward of the push/pull valley with one or more concentric rings (33) extending above a surface of the handle member. The kitchen utensil includes a blade mating section (40) disposed forward of the handle section and configured to receive a blade.
