Abstract
A spoon has a bowled area having a base and a surrounding edge extending around the base, and an elongated handle attached to the bowled area, with the handle having a base. A plurality of holes are provided in the base of the handle adjacent the bowled area.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to Chinese soup spoons, and in particular, to a Chinese soup spoon having draining holes.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Chinese soup spoons have been useful in holding mouthfuls of soup or other liquids. These soup spoons are almost like smaller ladles, having a deep bowled area for holding liquids, and a long handle extending at a steep angle. These soup spoons are effective for scooping and conveying liquids, and also for holding food items with gravy or sauce.
- When a person uses a Chinese soup spoon to scoop hot soup with solid food matter (e.g., meat or vegetables) in the bowled area, it is difficult to separate the soup or liquid from the solid food matter. The user may sometimes wish to eat the solid food matter straight from the Chinese soup spoon, but may not wish to consume the hot soup at the same time. It can be difficult to tilt the spoon to allow the soup to drain off along an edge, since the solid food matter may also drain out with the soup.
- Some ladles or metal spoons provide holes in the bottom of the bowled area. However, such ladles or spoons cannot be used to scoop soup or liquids, as they essentially act as filters, draining the soup or liquids immediately from the spoon.
- Therefore, there still remains a need for a Chinese soup spoon which allows a user to use the spoon for drinking soup or liquids, while also allowing the user to drain the soup or liquid without losing or removing any solid food matter held therein.
- It is an object of the present invention is to provide a Chinese soup spoon which allows a user to use the spoon for drinking soup or liquids, while also allowing the user to drain the soup or liquid without losing or removing any solid food matter held therein.
- In order to accomplish the objectives of the present invention, the present invention provides a spoon having a bowled area having a base and a surrounding edge extending around the base, and an elongated handle attached to the bowled area, with the handle having a base. A plurality of holes are provided in the base of the handle adjacent the bowled area.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a spoon according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. - The following detailed description is of the best presently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating general principles of embodiments of the invention. The scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1-3 , theChinese soup spoon 10 according to the present invention has a bowledarea 12 and along handle 14 extending at a steep angle from an end of the bowledarea 12. The bowledarea 12 and thehandle 14 can be made from the same piece of material, which can be porcelain, metal, plastic, or any other known material used for such soup spoons. The bowledarea 12 is generally oval, and is defined by abase 16 and an enclosingwall 18 that extends from thebase 16. The enclosingwall 18 extends upwardly along thehandle 14 so that an enclosed holding area HA is defined from the bowledarea 12 up along a portion of thehandle 14. - A
hook 20 is provided on the underside of thehandle 14 adjacent theend 22 of thehandle 14.FIG. 7 illustrates how thehook 20 can be used to hook or otherwise engage thehandle 14 of thespoon 10 against an upper lip or edge of a bowl. This allows thespoon 10 to be held inside the bowl against the lip or edge, without having theentire spoon 10 sag or slip into the bowl. - The
handle 14 has anelongated base 24 that extends from thebase 16 of the bowledarea 12. As best shown inFIG. 3 , a plurality ofholes 26 are provided in thebase 24 at a vertical level that is the same as, or slightly higher than, thetop edge 28 of the enclosingwall 18. In other words, theseholes 26 are located near or adjacent the bowledarea 12. Theseholes 26 allow liquid (e.g., hot soup or gravy) that is held in the holding area HA of the bowledarea 12 to be displaced therethrough. By positioning theseholes 26 at a vertical level that is the same as, or slightly higher than, thetop edge 28 of the enclosingwall 18, thespoon 10 can be seated on a flat surface (e.g., as shown inFIG. 3 ) without liquid being displaced. However, by tilting theend 22 of thehandle 14 slightly in the direction of arrow T, the liquid in the holding area HA will flow towards thehandle 14 and then be displaced through theholes 26. - The
spoon 10 allows a user to use the spoon for drinking soup or liquids, while also allowing the user to drain the soup or liquid without losing or removing any solid food matter held therein. For example, referring toFIG. 3 , if thespoon 10 was not holding any solid food matter, the liquid held in the holding area HA would not spill or leak or otherwise be displaced. The user can then drink from thespoon 10. If thespoon 10 were holding solid food matter (e.g., chunks of meat M), the user can drain some of the gravy or sauce or soup held in the holding area HA by slightly tilting theend 22 of thehandle 14, allowing the liquid to flow upwardly along thehandle 14 to theholes 26 where the liquid can be displaced without spilling or otherwise losing the meat chunks M. -
FIG. 4 illustrates the concepts of the present invention applied to aregular spoon 10 a that does not have any enclosingwall 18. Thespoon 10 a can also have a bowledarea 12 a and ahandle 14 a similar to thespoon 10, and theholes 26 a can be positioned at the same general vertical level as theholes 26 inFIGS. 1-3 . Since there is a small concavity to the bowled 12 a and thehandle 14 a, an enclosing wall is not needed, though such aspoon 10 a would not hold as much liquid as thespoon 10. -
FIGS. 5A-5B illustrate a modification to thespoon 10 inFIGS. 1-3 using tiered levels. Specifically, thespoon 10 b inFIG. 5A can be same as thespoon 10 in that the bowledareas walls handles transition area 40 b between thebase 16 b of the bowledarea 12 b and thebase 24 b of thehandle 14 b defines an intermediate level, so that there are now three vertical levels: thebase 16 b, thetransition area 40 b, and thebase 24 b. Theholes 26 b are provided at thetransition area 24 b. Providing the additional level attransition area 40 b can be useful in other applications. For example, a user may use thespoon 10 b to scoop soup or stew having two or more types of solid food matter, such as chunks of chicken and bits of pea. The user could desire to have the chunks of chicken stay in the bowledarea 12 b with the soup, while separating the peas. To do so, thespoon 10 b can be tilted so that the peas can be moved to thetransition area 40 b where soup can be drained from the peas at thetransition area 40 b. This is merely one non-limiting example of a functionality of thetransition area 40 b, while other uses and functions are also possible. -
FIGS. 6A-6B illustrate a modification to thespoon 10 a inFIG. 4 . Specifically, the spoon 10 c inFIG. 6A can be same as thespoon 10 a in that the bowledareas 12 a, 12 c, and handles 14 a, 14 c can be almost the same, but the handle 14 c of the spoon 10 c now has a neck area 40 c that is adjacent the bowled area 12 c. As best shown inFIG. 6B , the neck area 40 c has a defined well 42 c with holes 26 c provided in the well 42 c. The well 42 c provides a depression defined by a surrounding wall 44 c. As a result, soup or liquid flowing from the bowled area 12 c up along the handle can be prevented from reaching the user's fingers by the well 42 c and its wall 44 c. -
FIG. 8 illustrates anotherspoon 10 d that utilizes the concept of thetransition area 40 b inFIGS. 5A-5B . Thespoon 10 d can be a ladle that has ahandle 14 d directly attached to an enclosingwall 18 d. Theholes 26 d are not provided along thehandle 14 d, but are provided in atransition area 40 d that extends radially outwardly around the circumference of the bowledarea 12 d to define an annular shoulder. The enclosingwall 18 d extends upwardly from the outer annular edge of thetransition area 40 d. Thus, thetransition area 40 d can be used to separate pieces of solid food matter from the soup or liquid that is held in the bowledarea 12 d, with liquid draining from theholes 26 d. - While the description above refers to particular embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood that many modifications may be made without departing from the spirit thereof. The accompanying claims are intended to cover such modifications as would fall within the true scope and spirit of the present invention.
