Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1287770A1] The implement is in an A-shape, made in one piece from a moulded plastic material. It has two branches (1, 2) joined together at one end (3), and a central cross-piece (6). The cross-piece holds the open ends of the two branches apart, while they deform elastically under pressure to pick up a piece of food (11) between their tips (4, 5), which have roughened inner surfaces (9, 10). The branches can be of half-round, semi-elliptical, rectangular, square or polygonal cross-section.
