| Claim |
What I claim is:
1. A device for picking up pieces of food for transfer to the mouth comprising a one-piece molding of resilient synthetic plastics including a base and a pair of elongated members integrally connected to the base and extending therefrom at an angle to one another such that their free ends are normally in opposed spaced relation, each of said members having a first and a second section, said first section being integrally joined to said base and having a rectangular cross section, said second section being integrally joined to said first section and having a circular cross section, said second section having a tapered free end portion, each of said members being capable of being flexed relatively to the base by finger pressure to move the tapered free ends towards one another to grip and pick up pieces of food, the said members being adapted to revert to the opposed spaced relation when the pressure is released.
