| Abstract: |
A chopstick holder (10) comprises a rectangular body with a pair of through holes (20, 22) having diameters larger than tip portions of the sticks, but smaller than the top ends of the sticks, so that when the chopsticks are inserted in the holder, they are firmly held in it by friction. The holding portions are linked by a connection portion (32), which is preferably resilient. Another embodiment of the holder includes tapered splines (36, 38) on the inner surfaces of the holes to gouge longitudinal grooves on the chopsticks to prevent the sticks from rotating in the holes. The holes may have round or square cross sections. The holder may be shifted down the sticks to increase operating force.
