Patented J' an. 26,1909.
A Application filed February 18, 1908. Serial No. 416,626.
To all vwhom it may concern.'
Be it known that we, CHARLES M. DALY and GUsTAv A. WEIDHAAS, residents of the `States, have inventedJ new and useful Improvements in Hygienic Eating Utensils', of which the following isa full, clear,` and exact description. l
This invention r/elates to certain im rovements in eatin utensils especially adhpted for use at lune counters and the like, and particularly to a construction be dispense from a suitable container, and sufficiently simple and inexpensive to manufacture asto permit of their. being thrown u away after being used but once.
It is customary at various places, particularly saloons, where lunch is served free, to provide a few forks for the use of any-who may desire to partake of the food, and these forks are seldom, if ever, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each time they are used.-
We contemplate by our invention the provision of a pluralit l of forks or other eating utensils of 'such simplicity of construction and small cost of manufacture asA to permit of their being thrown away after being used. I n order to revent their being-used a second f time and aiso in order to facilitate the dispensing of the forks or the like to the user, as well as to maintain them clean until used, we form the forks of thin stri s of wood connected together in. series to orm a band,the several forks being connectedtogether by a thin strip 'of frano'ible material, as, for instance, paper. Tlhe series or band is designed to be mounted within a suitable .casing,- whereby'a fork may be readily separated from the band by the user and the remainder' of the band retained. within the casing and protected from dust and dirt. Each patron 1n taking a fork frmthe roll knows that it has not been used before that it is in a clean and sterilized condition. The patron would not take forks fromthe table, as he would think that they had been used before and the proprietor Wouldhave no incentive to collect the forks left on the table or thrown on the floor, as the customers use only thoseA taken from the roll. Each fork or the band connecting them might l' carry .any suitable v portion of the band or roll.
urality of utensils adapted to advertising matter prints/d thereon, but
printed in a non-poisonous ink which would not interfere with the hygienic qualities of catlon, in which simiar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures, and in whic v Figure 1 is an end view of acontainer,l
having mounted therein aroll of forks constructed 'and assembled in accordance with our Invention; and Fig. 2 is a plan view of a .In the specific construction illustrated, we.
provide a plurality of forks 10, each formed of a thin strip of wood of substantially uniy form' thickness and uniform width. Each wooden strip is provided with a rentrant angle at one or both ends, so as to form tines or prongs 11, and the forks are all connected together in series to form a long band by one or Vmore suitable strips 12 of thin paper or other frangible material. The forks are pasted or glued to the strip 12 and the strip may be readily torn betweeii adjacent forks. l
The band or strip of forks may be held within any suitable form of container, from which they may be dispensed,.but, as illustrated,
we provide a sultable cylindrical casing 13 havmg a slot 14 therein and a hinged guide plate 15 for directing the forks to said slot. The casing may be mounted in any suitable supports 16 to hold the same stationary and permit the band to be .drawn therefrom.
In use, the dispensing container or casing is mounted adjacent the supply of food with suitable instructions as to the manner in` which the forks are dispensed. The patron when desiring a fork tears one off from the .roll and after using the same may dispose of it as he leases but he cannot return it to the roll. T us, each and every patron is insured v a clean and sterilized fork, which he knows has never before been used.
loo
Although the series yof forks as illustrated may be used by picnic parties and the like.
'Having thus described our invention, we I,
claim as new and desire to secure by Letters b1Q In combination, a' plurality of forks,
each formed of a flat lstick of wood, and aband of flexible' material permanently se- V cured to one side of eachof said forks to hold `them together in series closely adjacent each other, saidbandl being separable into sections intermediate each two adjacent forks. 2.` In combination, a plurality of forks,
.leach formed of a strip of Wood having a reentrant angle at one end thereof arranged in series and presenting oppositely-disposed substantially parallel surfaces, and means extending along one of said surfaces and secured directly to each fork for connecting them together.-
3. A band having the body thereof formed d, of a plurality of forks arranged adjacent each tially uniform width and of substantially uniform thickness,'and having a rentrant angle at one end thereof forming a plurality of tines or pro s, and a strip of frangible material yconnecting said` forks together in series.
5. A fork formed of a fiat strip of wood of substantially uniform width and substantially uniform thickness and having a rel entrant angle at one end thereof forming a plurality of tines or prongs.
6. In combination, a lurality of forks, each formed of-a strip ofpwood of substantially uniform thickness, and a strip of frangible material secured to each of said forks to connect them together in series to form a band and to permit of their ready separation.
7. A roll formed of a band of frangible material having a plurality of eating utensils glued or pasted thereto, each of said eating utensils being formed of a strip of wood, and said band being separable into sections intermediate each two adjacent eating utensils.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
