<p>A pair of chopsticks is provided. The pair of chopsticks having a first chopstick (1) and a second chopstick (2), includes a guide shaft (3) which is fixed to a fixing groove (2a) of the second chopstick (2) and connects the pair of chopsticks (100; 1, 2) so as to move along a guide groove (Ia) formed in the upper end of the first chopstick (1), and a pivotal shaft (4) which is assembled in the middle portion of the pair of chopsticks (100; 1, 2) at a certain distance from the guide shaft (3), and whose one end is fixed to a coupling groove (2b) of the second chopstick (2) and other end is pivotally connected around a fixing pin (Ic) in a pivotal groove (Ib) provided in the first chopstick (1) so as to be pivoted while maintaining a certain interval when the first chopstick (1) is pivoted according to a use of the chopsticks, to thereby mutually confine the pair of chopsticks (100; 1, 2). Thus, when the pair of chopsticks are used at the state of holding them correctly, the first chopstick is pivoted along a constant locus around the fixed second chopstick. As a result, the ends of the chopsticks always coincide with each other. In particular, children or foreigners can easily learn how to use how to use a pair of chopsticks. Also, persons who need to correct how to use a pair of chopsticks can easily learn how to correctly use them.</p> |
