ABSTRACT:
A support (10) for elevating eating utensils above the surface (52) of a table. The support (10) is fabricated from a material that may be easily and safely disposed. The support (10) is constructed with minimal effort and time. The support (10) is constructed from a single sheet (12) of material such as a heavyweight paper. The support (10) defines four panels (14), each separated one from another by relief lines (30,32,34). The end panels (14A,D) overlap one another to define a first side (16). The two middle panels (14B,C) define a second side (18) and the bottom (20) of the support (10). In order to maintain the close relationship of the end panels (14A,D), a plurality of tab members (26) is defined on the end panel (14D) and extends toward its edge (24). A plurality of receptacles (40) is provided for receiving the handle portion of each utensil (50). Each receptacle (40) is defined by cooperating openings (36,38) defined in the end panels (14A,D) and the middle panel (14B). An indicia region (44) is provided for imprinting a selected message thereon, preferably on the panel (14B). The supports (10) of the present invention may be fabricated in large quantities, with a plurality of supports (10) being fabricated simultaneously from a single sheet (46) of material.
