Little invention: hand tongs
Although eating with hands has advantages, such as flexibility, activity of brain and fingers, or anti degeneration. But there are also disadvantages. For example, it is not very hygienic, which may lead to unhealthy, difficult isolation, unsafe, scalded, and so on. Although there are disposable plastic gloves now, they cause white pollution and are not environmentally friendly. It's best not to use them.
Then, we need an alternative tableware.
I have a creative idea, which is in line with this purpose. It is to use the improved meal clip to replace hand, cooperate with the spoon and fork, and add knife when necessary, which can perfectly solve this problem.
In fact, the simplest plan is that two flat wooden spoons are combined at the tail. such as the rear part is covered with a rubber tube, it will become the simplest meal clip.
At present, there are many food clips on the market. In fact, if you find and choose the style conveniently and the appropriate size, you can use it directly! It can be used as a food clip that can put food into mouth.
Especially in Western tableware, the size and style of clips have been invented a lot. If there are suitable ones, they can be directly used as meal clips, which solves the problem.
Because my this thought, the key point is that the ordinary clip will be evolved to replace the function of the hand. Therefore, it should be improved to better meet the requirements of new functions.
In addition, because the current clip function is the most marginal, lower than the knife, the knife can be put on the plate, generally not need to near the mouth, and the clip basically can not be close to the mouth. And because they are made suitable for its current functional status, they need to be improved to meet the creative new requirements. Since they will be improved and expanded their functional status, they really have to be transformed to make them more suitable for sending food directly to the mouth and better match with spoons.
The type should include large, medium and small. The small one is the most convenient, which can be directly grasped in the hand, or a small section of tongs tail can go out of palm. This model is most suitable for the group who used to eat by hand. The medium and large ones should also be improved to be able to grasp the food and send it to the mouth.
You can have finger cover, just like ring, and fix tongs on your hand, as if it were a portable copy and extension of your hand, which is more convenient.
I feel that the clips composed of two parts is enough. If you want to be very comfortable or have special needs, you can expand it into three or even five fingers, or palm shape, which is more deformed and soft. It can also be attached to the palm like a horseshoe.
Based on this association, it can be greatly improved into gloves with hollow back for easy removal and wearing, while the inner face of its palm have finger shape with a certain length of the front end of the finger, and the rest is similar to the web foot of animals. The material can be soft materials such as food grade rubber, which can meet our needs, with spoon and fork. It can be called palm tongs. In chinese ,name is same.
Generally speaking, the clip has three parts: head, neck body and joint. The head is the most important. It should have a certain area, such as flake. The head should not be too sharp. It should function like a finger belly as much as possible. You can grab food by them. It's best to also can dig or hold food.
Although it can be made into hollow, in my idea, it is better not to hollow out, it should be more like a spoon, and better have a little concave.
In order not to drop food, the spoon needs to be more flat, but as long as it can clip food, the deeper the spoon is, the better.
Or it can be like an animal's claw, simply polygonal, such as a kitten's claw, or even have slightly pointed, and fix food by pressing and inserting food.
On the inner and outer planes of the head, there can be some smooth small convex particles, which can prevent slip, increase friction and grip, scrape food, and is a bit like the barb function of the cat's tongue.
The head and neck body can be made elastic or curved for easy grasping, or can be bent and rebound when the action of fingers happen, this is more flexible. Now all the clips in market seem to be a little hard, and some are very thin. It seems that they do not meet our requirements.
The side of the head and neck can be a little flat and square, or have some wavy, which is convenient for anti-skid when taking noodles or vegetables.
The tail can also be added like a swallow's tail, highlighting two smooth cross tails. The tip of the tail is slightly sharp and smooth .It can pierce broken food, pierce holes and dig holes, such as biscuits, bread and fruit. If it is made into just like blunt scissors, it can clip and cut vegetables, fruits or cakes. The two heads can also be made into one large and one small, such as crab claws. As another example, the scissors shaped food clip in the picture has a spoon at one end, this plan can also be used. The handle also can be like the scissor type in the picture, but it seems that that mode is not very easy for using.
As for the method of fixing the two legs and maintaining the angle of the two legs, there are many styles that can be used for reference, and it can also be made into an integral whole body.
When placing, you can use something like a pen rack or add a small plate under it to prevent the dregs and juice from falling. You can also put it directly on the clean paper, or plastic paper and wood dishes.
The neck part can be like the steering wheel, with fingerprint concave shape design or finger belly concave shape, which is more in line with ergonomics.
Anyway, the functions can be infinitely improved and expanded, but the core is one: handy, can instead of our hands, help hands hold food, not just take out and put food in tableware. It should be a clip that can send food to the mouth, and its functional status is almost the same important as that of spoon and fork.
This idea, l get it from the revelation of God's grace, is a new and improved western style food clip. For the benefit of the world, so, the glory belongs to heaven, and all possible benefits belong to God and Allah. Anyone can use it freely when they see it. If they want to operate and make profits, they don't have to pay me. If someone wants to pay, they can give it to Islam, Judaism and Christianity, especially Protestant Christianity, especially Calvinist, because this is my faith.
I gave it a name. In English, it's hand tongs. In Chinese, name is orchid style tongs, and is orchid tongs in short.
I think the Providence is that its actual birthplace should be marked as the USA forever. Of course, if there is no need to have a country region, its birthplace should be the earth, or from heaven.

创意小发明: 兰夹
手抓吃饭虽有好处，如灵活，活动大脑和手指，或防退化。可也有缺点，如并不太卫生，可能致不健康，不好隔离，也可能不安全，可能被烫到，等等。现在虽有一次性塑料手套，但引发白色污染，不环保，最好不用。
那么，就需要一种替代餐具。
我有个创意，符合这个目的，是用改进的餐夹，来代替手，配合勺叉，需要时再加餐刀，能很完美解决这问题。
其实最简单的就是，两个扁平木勺，尾部结合，如用橡胶管套住后部，就成最简单的餐夹了。
目前市面已有很多餐夹，其实挑选样式顺手的，合适大小的，就可直接拿来用了！把它使用为可送食入口的餐夹即可。
尤其西餐餐具里，夹子的大小和样式已发明了很多了，有适合的，拿来直接做餐夹，这问题就解决了。
由于我这创意，重点在于普通的夹子进化为能取代手的功用，因此理应须有所改进，才可更好的适应新功能的要求。
另外因为，现在的夹子功能最边缘，低于刀子，刀子可上盘子，一般不上嘴，而夹子一般都不能近嘴。且因为都制造的适合于它目前的功能地位，多需改进才能很符合这创意要求，既然提高扩大了其功能地位，确实得改造它，使它更适应往口里直接送食物，和勺子等更好的搭配起来。
其型号应有大中小，小型的最方便，可直接抓在手里，或可稍微长出手掌一小段，这型号最适合以前用手吃饭的群体，中号大号的则应改进到抓得起食物，送的进口。
可以有指套，像戒指那样，把它固定在手上，仿佛就是手的随身副本和延伸，更方便。
我感觉，两部分组成的夹子就够用，如想很顺手，或者有特殊需求，可以拓展成三指甚至五指，掌型，更变形柔软，像马掌附在手掌里也可。
基于又此联想到，可以将其大改进，成为背部镂空，方便取下来戴上去的手套，而手掌则是只有指前端一定长度为指形，而余下为类似动物的脚蹼样的一片整体软片，材质可以是食品级的橡胶等柔软的材料，再配合勺叉，即可达到我们的需求。可叫做，掌夹，英文就是，palm tongs.
一般来说，夹子有三个部分，头部，颈身部，结合部。头部最重要，应是有一定面积的，比如片状。头部不能太尖，应须尽量像指肚功能，可去抓住食物，最好还能挖或盛点东西。
虽可做成镂空，但在我这创意里，不镂空，或更像勺子，再有点凹，则更好。
为不掉落食物，需勺子较扁，但只要能夹的基础上，勺子厚度是越深越好。
或可像动物的爪子，干脆多边形，比如像个小猫爪，甚至可以稍微有圆尖，按插进食物来进行固定。
头部内外平面，可以有一些光滑的小凸起颗粒，防滑，增摩擦力抓力，可刮食物，有点像猫舌头倒刺功能。
头及颈身部，为了便于抓握，可做成有弹性的，或弯的，或像手指一样随动作可弯曲回弹，则更灵活。现在的夹子似乎都较硬，有的很细，好像没有符合这样的。
头颈部侧面，可平和方一些，或有点波浪，便于夹面条或蔬菜类时，防滑掉。
尾部，也可增加像燕子尾巴，突出交叉光滑的两根，尾部尖端稍微尖润一点，可扎碎食物，扎洞挖洞，比如饼干，面包，水果。如做成钝剪刀片似的，可夹切蔬菜水果或饼。两个头部也可做成一大一小，如蟹爪。再如图中剪刀状餐夹，一头是勺子，也可。柄也可是图中那种剪刀式，不过似乎那种模式不太顺手。
至于固定两脚办法，保持住两脚角度，现在已有很多样式，都可参考使用，也可做成全体一体压模成型。
摆放时，可用像筷子架的东西，或下面再加小盘子，防止渣滓汁液掉落，也可直接放在净纸上，或是纸片塑料片木片。
颈身部分可像方向盘，有指印凹陷外形设计，或指肚凹陷造型，更符合人体工程学。
反正，功能都可无限改进扩展，但核心就一个: 顺手，代替手，帮助手拿食物，而不只是仅能把食物取出和放在餐具中，是要应可送到嘴里的夹子，功能地位几乎等同于勺叉。
本创意，是我得神启示恩典而想到的，属于一种新型改进的西式餐夹，为了利益世人，因此荣耀归于上天，并把所有可能的收益都归于上帝和安拉。任何人看到都可以采纳自由使用，如果想去经营获利发展也可以，都不必向我付费用。若有人想付费，可以去给伊斯兰教，犹太教及基督教，尤其基督新教，尤其归正宗，因这是我的信仰。
我给它起了名，英文是，hand tongs，中文就叫兰式夹，简称兰夹。
我认为天意是，它的实际诞生地，应标注永是美国，当然若不设定地区，那就是地球吧，或者说来自天上吧。
