| Abstract: |
Eating utensil apparatus has two stick members which are generally parallel. An integrally formed interconnecting joint portion has inward extending sections, downward extending leg sections and a cap section, which together with the stick members bend to permit juxtaposing the distal ends of the stick members by applying inward hand pressure to medial portions of the stick members and to urge the distal ends apart in the normally open position.

I claim:
1. Eating utensil apparatus comprising a single, unitary, continuous generally square cross-section rod-like member formed in two elongated generally parallel first and second straight chop-stick members having spaced distal ends which may be moved toward each other and having joint means integrally formed at a proximal end, the joint means comprising a re-entrantly bent integrally formed portion which extends from a proximal end of the first stick member sequentially inward toward the second stick member and downward in a general direction of the distal ends and then extends over and upward then over toward a proximal end of the second stick member, where the portion is integrally connected with the second stick member, for permitting movement of the distal ends toward each other and for encouraging separation of the distal ends.
