Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/961,409 filed on Jul. 18, 2007, the contents, which are incorporated herein in their entirety.
- This invention generally relates to flatware and kitchen utensils, and more particularly to flatware and kitchen utensils having a design consisting of a first surface with a first decorative handle design and a second surface with a second decorative handle design, wherein the first and second decorative handle designs vary relative to the upper surface and the lower surface of the utensil portion so that either the first or second decorative handle design is face up.
- Flatware and kitchen utensils often refer to any hand utensil used in preparing, serving, and especially eating food. Utensils for eating are usually known as silverware or flatware in the United States, and where cutlery typically refers to knives and other cutting instruments. However, since silverware suggests the presence of silver, the term tableware has also come into use.
- The major items of flatware and kitchen utensils in the western world are the knife, fork and spoon. Traditionally, good quality flatware was made from silver (hence the U.S. name), though steel was always used for more utilitarian knives, and pewter was used for some cheaper items, especially spoons. From the nineteenth century, electroplated nickel silver (EPNS) has been used; however, nowadays, most cutlery, including quality designs, is made from stainless steel. It can also be appreciated that two forms of utensils combine the functionality of various pairs of cutlery are the spork (spoon/fork) and knork (knife/fork).
- It would be desirable to have a set of flatware or kitchen utensils having two different decorative handle designs on one piece of flatware and/or kitchen utensil, and more particularly to a dual design consisting of a first surface with a first decorative handle design and a second surface with a second decorative handle design.
- In accordance with one embodiment, a utensil comprises: a handle portion, the handle portion having a dual design consisting of a first surface with a first decorative handle design and a second surface with a second decorative handle design; a utensil portion having an upper surface and a lower surface; and a connecter for attaching the handle portion to the utensil portion, and wherein the connector allows the first and second decorative handle designs to vary relative to the upper surface and the lower surface of the utensil portion.
- In accordance with another embodiment, a set of flatware comprises: at least one spoon; at least one fork; at least one knife; and wherein each of the at least one spoon, the at least one fork and the at least one knife comprises: a handle portion, the handle portion having a dual design consisting of a first surface with a first decorative handle design and a second surface with a second decorative handle design; a utensil portion having an upper surface and a lower surface; and a connecter for attaching the handle portion to the utensil portion, and wherein the connector allows the first and second decorative handle designs to vary relative to the upper surface and the lower surface of the utensil portion.
- In accordance with a further embodiment, a handle portion of a utensil comprises: a first surface with a first decorative handle design; a second surface with a second decorative handle design; and a connecter for attaching the handle portion to a utensil portion having an upper surface and a lower surface, and wherein the connector allows the first and second decorative handle designs to vary relative to the upper surface and the lower surface of the utensil portion.

FIG. 1 is a top view of a set 10 of flatware orkitchen utensils 100 having a dualdesign handle portion 110 in accordance with an embodiment. As shown inFIG. 1 , the set 10 of flatware orkitchen utensils 100 preferably includes at least onefork 200, at least oneknife 300, and at least onespoon 400. Each of the flatware orkitchen utensils 100 includes ahandle portion 110, a utensil head (or utensil portion) 120 and aconnector 130, which connects thehandle portion 110 to theutensil head 120. It can be appreciated that as shown inFIGS. 1-4 , the size of the utensil head orutensil portion 120 can vary. - In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the
handle portion 110 has a dual design consisting of afirst surface 112 with a first decorative handle design 114 and a second surface 116 (FIG. 4 ) with a second decorative handle design 118 (FIG. 4 ). The utensil portion orhead 120 preferably has anupper surface 122 and a lower surface 124. Theupper surface 122 is preferably used to lift food and/or liquid to the mouth. - For example as shown in

Meanwhile, the second surface 116 (FIG. 4 ) has an engraved pattern. In accordance with another embodiment, thehandle portion 110 can also have a pair ofside surfaces 113, 115 (i.e., third and fourth surfaces), which include decorative handle or side designs or engravings. It can be appreciated that depending on the design of thehandle portion 110, thehandle portion 110 may or may not have a pair ofside surfaces 113, 115 (FIG. 3 ), since somehandle portions 110 may only have afirst surface 112 and a second surface 114, which come to a point on the side thereof. In addition, theutensil head 120 and/or neck portion of theutensil head 120 can include engravings, inlays, patterns, designs, words and/or numbers. Thehandle portion 110 and/or utensil portion and/orhead 120 can also include lights sources such as neon lights, fiber optics and/or LEDs, or alternatively, clocks in digital and/or non-digital formats can be added to thehandle portion 110 and/or utensil portion orhead 120. - It can be appreciated that a
fork 200 typically consists of ahandle portion 110 with autensil head 120, which is preferably several narrow tines 210 (usually two, three or four) on one end 230. Thefork 200 is used to lift food to the mouth or to hold food in place while cooking or cutting it. Typically, food can be lifted by either spearing it on the tines 210, by collecting it on top of the tines 210, or holding it atop the tines 210 horizontally. To allow for this spoon-like use, the tines 210 can be curved slightly upward. Thespoon 300 is a utensil consists of ahandle portion 110 with autensil head 120, which is preferably a small, shallow bowl 310 at the end of ahandle portion 110, used primarily for serving and eating liquid, or semi-liquid foods, and solid foods such as rice and cereal, which cannot easily be lifted with afork 200.
