Items of cutlery or cooking utensils have bend or thick collar between handle and blade, bowl or tines, allowing item to be rested on table while eating without blade, etc. coming into contact with its surface

摘要

The items of cutlery (40 -44) or cooking utensils have a bend (30, 31, 33, 34) or thick collar (32A) between the handle (10) and the blade, bowl or tines (20). This allows the item to be rested on a table while eating without the blade, etc. coming into contact with its surface. An independent claim is included for a slotted collar which can be fitted on a conventional item of cutlery to achieve the same effect.
